           B
Should've kissed you there
            C#
I should've held your face
            F#/A#
I should've watched those eyes
            B
Instead of run in place
             B
I should've called you out
             C#
I should've said your name
            F#/A#
I should've turned around
             G#m
I should've looked again

Chorus:
     C#      D#m            B      C#
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made
      D#m            B      C#
I 'm staring at the mess I made
      D#m            B      C#
I 'm staring at the mess I made
             D#m                      B
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away

Should've held my ground
I could've been redeemed
For every second chance
That changed its mind on me
I should've spoken up
I should've proudly claimed
That oh my head's to blame
For all my heart's mistakes

Chorus

     F#           B
And it's you, and it's you
    D#m           B
And it's you, and it's you
          F#                   B
And it's falling down, as you walk away
         D#m                B
And it's on me now, as you go

Chorus

And it's falling down, as you walk away
And it's on me now, as you go

Chorus
