Bm                      G
i tried to paint you a picture,
                      D
the colors were all wrong
                        G
black and white didn't fit ya, and all along

you were shaded with patience,
and strokes of everything
that i need just to make it, but i can see that

A/C#          G
Lord knows i failed you time and again
A/C#                  G
but you and me are alright

Chorus:
Bm          G            D                A
we won't say our goodbyes, you know it's better that way
Bm            G            D              A
we won't break we won't die, it's just a moment of change
Bm         G           D          A
all we are, all we are, is everything thats right
Bm          G            D          A    C A
all we need, all we need, a lover's alibi

I walked a minute in your shoes
They never would’ve fit
I figured there’s nothing to lose
I need to get
Some perspective on these words
Before I write them down
You’re an island and my ship
Has run aground

Lord knows I'll fail you time and again
But you and me are alright, yeah

Chorus

    C
And every single day that i can breathe
 A
You change my philosophy
     F                           D
I'm never gonna let you pass me by

Chorus

All we are, all we are
Is everything that’s right
All we need, all we need
A lover’s alibi, yeah

So don’t say our goodbyes
You know it’s better
We won’t break, we won’t die
