   G
I must have been a fool
To love you so hard for so long
          Am
So much stronger than before
But so much harder to move on
             G
And now the bitter chill of the winter
Still blows through me like a plague
         Am
Only to wake up with an empty bed
On a perfect summer day

Bm                      Em
My world just feels so cold
         Am
And you find yourself walking down
      D
the wrong side of the road

Chorus:
G
I can't lie you're on my mind
stuck inside my head
         Am                     D
I wanna feel your heart beat for me instead,
yeah
G
I just die so much
inside now that you're not there
         Am                      D
I wanna feel your heart beat like yesterday

I never did my best to express how I really felt
And now that I know exactly what I want
You found somebody else
My world just feels so cold
And you find yourself
Walking down the wrong side of the road

Chorus

Bm                   Em
My world just feels so cold
       Am                              D
And I find myself thinking about the things
I could have done
        Am
And it warms my soul when you let me know
     D
I'm not the only one

Chorus - x2
