    Am               C
I remember the day. Seems so far away,
        F
when I walked into your life
        Am                          C
And the look in your eyes. How it took
                         F
you by surprise. But it felt so right.

      Am
Then i drew you in
        G
Told you anything
       F
Cause I wanted you so bad

Girl i led you on
Said there's nothing wrong
In giving your heart to me

Chorus:
                      C                   G/B
But when it comes to love, I should know better
                  Am                F
When it comes to love, I take the blame
      C          G                    F
'Cuz you are the one I should've held on to
                       Am C F
Yeah, it could'a been you

I never realized
How time was on my side
Lost sight of my perfect world
And the man that I’ve become
From the damage that I’ve done
It's so clear to me now

But I wished that I
Never was the kind
To steal a lonely heart
And I didn't see how good you were for me
Now it's too late to go back

Chorus:
Because when it comes to love
I should know better
When it comes to love
I take the blame
Because you are the one I should've held on to

When it comes to love
Girl I can't help it
When it comes to love
I always lose my way
And you are the one I should've held on to

Ah, it could a been you
Making a change in my heart
Finding a new place to start
Wondering what I can do
Will I ever get over you... no

Chorus - x2
