Gm       D#
And the hardest part
     A#              Dm
Was letting go, not taking part
Was the hardest part
And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start

Chorus:
D#                  A#  F
I could feel it go down
D#                    A#          F
Bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth
D#                  A#  F
Silver lining the cloud
Gm  Gm/F D# A#/D Cm
Oh and I          I
                            Gm
I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest part
Was letting go not taking part
You really broke my heart, oh
And I tried to sing
But I couldn't think of anything
And that was the hardest part, oh, oh

Chorus:
I can feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
You're a silver lining the clouds
Oh and I
Oh and I
I wonder what it's all about
I wonder what it's all about

I wonder what it's all about

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it just comes undone
And everything is torn apart
Oh and that's the hardest part
That's the hardest part
Yeah that's the hardest part
That's the hardest part
