B E What we learned here is B love tastes bitter when it's gone B E Past yourself forget the light, B E things look dirty when it's on B G#m F# Funny how it comes to pass, E that all the good slips away B G#m F# And there's no one around you E G#m E can remember being good to you Chorus: B F# G#m Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you E B And open up more G#m F# E Shame, shame, shame What we lost here Is something better left alone Second steps have been forgotten Will you tell me how they go?
