The first time I felt pain
You took that away
F#                        C#/F
The first time you opened up
                          D#m

I feel that everyday

I'm sorry for the shit I put you through
Can we go back to when we both knew
How to dance in time

Sarah my sweet
Yeah, Sarah my heart

Yeah, oh oh oh oh oh - x3

Sarah my sweet
Yeah, Sarah my heart
Yeah, Sarah my heart
