Cmaj7 Did all the words I never said Em Hurt as bad as those I did D You know I never even care C Not before you Cmaj7 If I could go and turn back time Em If I could only press rewind D I would bleed this heart of mine C Just to show you C Em I'll be the first to say I'm sorry D First to say I'm stupid C Why do I always take you there C Em Is it hopeless, or maybe you still want to D Meet me at the altar C And I will lay it all to bear Chorus: C Em And I told you all my secrets, D C All my fears, I've let go C Em And it's flawless, you are the only one D C You are the only one, don't you know C Don't you know Am I fading from your mind Has the distance blurred the lines? They say all things heal with time But it's untrue I will linger on every word I know it's more than I deserve Chances are I'll make it worse But I need to tell you Tell you that I'm sorry Tell you that I'm stupid Why do I always take it there? Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to Meet me at the altar? And I will lay it all to bare Chorus C Em Don't you know, D Am That the hardest part is not having you to hold C Em Don't you know, D Am This old heart of mine can't bear to see you go Chorus - x3 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Cm  Cmaj7  Cmaj  D  Em  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
