D No one ever told me when I was alone C#m B They just thought I'd know better, better No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better A The hardest part this troubled heart has never yet been through now C#m E Was to heal the scars that got their start inside someone like you now A Boy, had I known or I'd been shown back when how long it'd take me C#m E To break the charms that brought me harm and all but would erase me I never would hope that I could, no matter what you'd pay me Replay the part, you stole my heart, I should've known you're crazy If all I knew was that with you, I'd want someone to save me It'd be enough, but just my luck, I fell in love and maybe A B All that I wanted was Chorus: C#m Now I know you better You know I know better A B Now I know you better So bittersweet, this tragedy won't ask for absolution This melody inside of me still searches for solution A twist of fate, the change of heart cures my infatuation A broken heart, to provide the spark for my determination No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better All that I wanted was Chorus C#m I never wanted you to be so full of anger I never wanted you to be somebody else I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves I only wanted you to see things for yourself All that I wanted was Chorus: Now I know you better Now we all know better All that I wanted was If I were you, I'd manage to avoid the invitation Of promised love that can't keep up with your adoration Just use your head and in the end, you'll find your inspiration To choose your steps and won't regret this kind of aggravation No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  D  E  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
