Am                    G
What happened to the man
    Dm       F
who used to take me
 Em            E/G#
Straight into misery
Am
I want you back and now
   G     Dm       F
I must admit it shames me
Em         E/G#
How could this be?
Am
Tell me what's
      G    Dm
this desperation
F
Cause I don't
Em   E/G#       Am
recognize this changed
           G      Dm     F  Em E/G#
I think I made a bad mistake

Chorus:
                  Am
Cause once I ran away
                      G
I love you since the day
     Dm
The day I broke your
 F                    Em
heart (heart, heart, heart, heart)
     E/G#               Am
It's more than I could take
                      G
I love you since the day
    Dm            F
The day we fell apart
             Em         E/G#
(part, part, part, part)
    Dm
Now everything is coming under
       F
Cause you were the chance
                   G
I can't afford to waste
I love you since the day
                 Dm
The day we fell apart

I must admit the grass is so much greener
On the other side
Since you left, I noticed now you're so much meaner
And it's something I think I like

Tell me, what's this desperation?
'Cause I don't recognize these chains
I think I made a bad mistake

Chorus:
('Cause once I ran away) 'Cause once I ran away
I loved you since the day
The day I broke your heart (Heart, heart, heart, heart)
It's more than I can take
I loved you since the day
The day we fell apart (-Part, part, part, part)
Now everything is coming undone
'Cause you were the chance I can't afford to waste
I loved you since the day
The day we fell apart

  Am     G/B
I made a bad mistake
C        Dm       F   Em
Used to pray for sins
Am       E/G#          Em
Drowning you one more time
     Dm             G
and mend my wicked ways

Chorus:
'Cause once I ran away
I loved you since the day
The day I broke your heart (Heart, heart, heart, heart)
It's more than I can take
I loved you since the day
The day we fell apart (-Part, part, part, part)
Now everything is coming undone
'Cause you were the chance I can't afford to waste
I loved you since the day
The day we fell apart
The day we fell apart

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, yeah
