         G                           Bm
Oh, I belong to the way you see the world
                                 G
Got attached to the way you saw me
                                  Bm
Had our future aligned just like dominoes
           C          G
Too much space in between
          G                  Bm
Close my eyes but what’s the use?
                                G
‘Cause my mind still dreams of you
                       Bm
All alone inside this room
           C    G Am7
Where you told me
                             D
“Maybe we should stop tryna save this”

Chorus:
G        Em7                Bm
So I’ll try and do it on my own
    D                   G
But only ’cause I have to
         Em7                    Bm
Oh, I’ll lie and say I’m havin’ fun
D                      G
When the opposite is true
G
All the words that I said
Em7                       Bm
Couldn’t stop you from leavin’
  D              G
What’s left to lose?
      Em7                Bm
I’ll try and do it on my own
    A/C#           C     G
Oh, God, I wish I had you

I remember you asked if we'd still be friends
What a cruel way to say you're happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Guess you moved on before, you were really gone
Lyin' right beside me
Just tell me was your heart ever breakin'?

Chorus

          Em                 Bm
Close my eyes but what’s the use?
   D    G
Oh-ooh-ooh
           Em                   Bm
‘Cause my mind still dreams of you
 A/C# C
Ooh-ooh
             Em                Bm
Yeah, I’ll try and do it on my own
     A/C#           C     G
But, God, I wish I had you...
