C#m        E   F#m
They came down to the room
    C#m              E        F#m
And I could see it written all over you
C#m       E F#m
Since you already know
     B       E           A
That I said "sorry, but I gotta go"

And I ripped these walls apart
And I went and shot an arrow right
through your heart
But how those times have changed
Cause now you don't remember my name

Chorus:
                    E
I'm sorry that I'm here so late
                          F#m
And please don't turn my heart away
          C#m
For your love, I can change, cause without you,
A       B
I'm so hollow
                  E
I'm sorry that I let you go
                     F#m
It's only when it's lost you know
       C#m                      G#m     A
Seeing you, missing you, such a bitter pill
     B
to swallow

I guess I played my cards too late
Cause now my body can't take the weight
And once we flew so high, oh
But now I'm afraid to fly, oh oh oh

Chorus

I'm sorry that I'm here so late
And please don't turn my heart away
For your love, I can change,
cause without you, I'm so hollow
I'm sorry that I let you go
It's only when it's lost you know
Seeing you, missing you,
such a bitter pill to swallow
Seeing you, missing you,
such a bitter pill to swallow
No, oh, oh
No, oh, oh
Noooohh
