G#m E       F# B
You were the one
G#m  E          F#  B
That I couldn't find
G#m E   F# B
Hidden away
G#m     E            F#  B
In the depths of my mind

G#m        E
Why did I let you go
       F#              B
You're to good to be true
G#m         E
I messed it up and now
   F#                 B
I don't know what to do
G#m        E           F#     B
We ran in circles and wasted time
      A
From right to wrong
      E
From right to wrong

Chorus:
   B/D# E B                F#
If I    knew that you were mine
B/D# E             G#m     F#
I    wouldn't have wasted time
B E               B        F#
I  wish I could erase the past
B/D#    E      G#m
Now its all collapsed
G#m       E F# B
In my lap

I overthought
So I locked up my heart, yeah
There you stood
Your blue eyes hidden underneath your hood

Why did I let you go?
You're too good to be true
I messed it up, and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time
From right to wrong
From right to wrong

Chorus

    G#m                B
My mind is blank just like a clean slate
       F#
Will I meet another guy with the same blue eyes
       G#m                    B
And the   same name with the converse shoes I gave
F#
Will he have the same laugh
Wear my homemade hat
G#m             B
Bet I'll make another mistake
     F#                   G#m B F#
And think he's just another     fake

B/D# E F#
Wish I could erase the past now
B/D# E  F#     B
Wish I could bring you back

Chorus - x2
