Cm
I remember years ago
D#
Someone told me I should take
A#
Caution when it comes to love
G#
I did, I did
Cm
And you were strong and I was not
D#
My illusion, my mistake
A#
I was careless, I forgot
G#
I did

    Fm
And now when all is done
                     Gm
There is nothing to say
                               G#
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
                  A#
You can go ahead, tell them

Chorus:
                Cm
Tell them all I know now
                   D#
Shout it from the rooftops
                 A#
Write it on the skyline
               G#
All we had is gone now
                 Cm
Tell them I was happy
                 D#
And my heart is broken
                  A#
All my scars are open
                  G#
Tell them what I hoped would be
        Cm          D#
Impossible, impossible
        A#           G#
Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know

And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Chorus

Cm
I remember years ago
D#
Someone told me I should take
A#
Caution when it comes to love
G#
I did

Chorus:
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
Hoped would be
Impossible (Impossible), impossible (Impossible)
Impossible, impossible
Impossible (Impossible), impossible (Impossible)
Impossible, impossible
