Chorus:
F C A#
You could be happy and I won't know
F C A#
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
F C A#
And all the things that I wish I had not said
F C A#
Are played in loops 'til it's madness in my head
Gm F/A A#
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
Gm F/A A#
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
Gm F/A A#
Most of what I remember makes me sure
Gm F/A A#
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
Chorus:
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
You can simplify chords by removing barre
