Cm G# Piercing words, eyes are red D# A# Watched your taillights in the rain Cm G# Empty heart filled with regret D# A# I know we were both to blame Cm G# And I'm not sorry that it's over D# A# But for the way we let it end G# Cm So I said all I had to say G# Cm A# In letters that I threw away Chorus: D# Gm And you should know, please believe me Cm I've picked up the phone a thousand times G# D# And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long Gm Cm It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin A# G# the world the other way D# Gm What can I say? How did it come to this? I think about you all the time It's no excuse, but I wish That I never made you cry I'm not sorry that it's over But for the way we let it end I couldn't find the words to say Chorus: And you should know, please believe me I've picked up the phone a thousand times And tried to dial your number But it's been so long, it's never easy It's like trying to spin the world the other way So what can I say? What can I say? What can I say? What can I say? I hate to think all you had of me (I said all I had to say) Is a memory I left you The space between what was meant to be (In letters that I threw away) And the mess that it turned into Chorus: And you should know, please believe me I've picked up the phone a thousand times And tried to dial your number But it's been so long, it's never easy It's like trying to spin the world the other way It is like trying to spin the world the other way What can I say? What can I say? What can I say?
