Cm                 G#
I never could have seen this far
D#                  A#
I never could have seen this coming
Cm            G#               D#    A#
Seems like my world's falling apart, yea
Cm          G#
Why is everything so hard?
D#                 A#
I don't think that I can deal
Cm
With the things you said
    G#             A#
It just won't go away

Chorus:
      Cm      G#
In a perfect world
 D#               A#
This could never happen
      Cm      G#
In a perfect world
D#              A#
You'd still be here
        Cm       G#
And it makes no sense
         D#               A#
I could just pick up the pieces
       G#
But to you
           A#
This means nothing
           Cm
Nothing at all

I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
Yeah
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause I can’t let go
I just can’t find my way
Yeah
Without you, I just can’t find my way

Chorus

G#            D#            A#
I don't know what I should do now
G#            D#            A#
I don't know where I should go
G#             D#
I'm still here waiting for you
G#             D#
I'm lost when you're not around
Fm        D#/G       G#
I need to hold on to you
                     Cm G# D#
I just can't let you go

Chorus:
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You’d still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
You feel nothing, nothing at all
Nothing at all
