D#
I fell by the wayside, like everyone else
Cm
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you,
but I was just kidding myself
G#
Our every moment, I start to replace
A#sus4                              A#
‘cause now that they’re gone all I hear
are the words that I needed to say

D#
When you hurt under the surface
Cm                          G#
Like troubled water running cold
                           A#sus4 A#
Well time can heal but this won't

Chorus:
D#
So
           A#
Before you go
               Cm
Was there something
I coulda said to make your heart beat better?
   G#
If only I'd have known you
had a storm to weather
D#
So
           A#
Before you go
               Cm
Was there something
I coulda said to make it all stop hurting?
    G#
It kills me how your mind
can make you feel so worthless
A#
So
           D#
Before you go

Was never the right time, whenever you called
Went little by little by little
until there was nothing at all
Our every moment, I start to replay
But all I can think about is
seeing that look on your face

When you hurt under the surface
Like troubled water running cold
Well, time can heal but this won't

Chorus

Cm           G#            D#
Would we be better off by now?
        A#                Cm
If I'd let my walls come down?
         G#                A#
Maybe I guess we’ll never know
A#             D#
You know, you know

Chorus:
Before you go
Was there something I could've said
To make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said
To make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind
can make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
