F#                              C#
You evergreened the fire in my past
F#                                C#
Can't run free if I keep looking back
             D#m
It's a lost cause, it's a bad bet
         F#              G#
It's a storm but gotta face it

Chorus:
    F#
Oh, I
                              C#
I love you but you let me down
          F#
Yeah, oh, I
                              C#
I love you but you let me down

The last time for an eternity
You're only mine when I am on my feet
You're elusive and it kills me
Inconclusive, never-ending

Chorus

         F#
And I'll go as fast as I can
               C#
No time for a moment to myself
          F#
And I'll go as fast as I can
               C#
I swear on my life it's for the best

             D#m
And I might call you on your birthday
           F#            G#
Cover words I wanted to say
                 D#m
With some small talk, and I'll tear up
            F#                G#                F#
But I'll go on, and I'll hang up before I can say

Chorus:
I love you but you let me down
No-no, oh, I
I love you but you let me down

And I'll go as fast as I can
No time for a moment to myself
And I'll go as fast as I can
I swear on my life it's for the best

Though our moments kept us waiting
I will keep it, keep it sacred
Like it's golden, wish you nothing
But an exhale, and I'm hoping you hear when I say

I never meant to let you down
Oh, I
I love you but you let me down
