G#m It's been a while since the two of us talked About a week since the day you walked E Knowing things would never be the same With your empty heart and mine full of pain G#m So explain to me, how it came to this Take it back to the night we kissed E It was Dublin city on a Friday night F# G#m7 You were vodkas and cokes, I was Guinness all night G#m We were sitting with our backs against the world G#m E Saying things that we thought but never heard F# Who would have thought it would end up like this? G#m Where everything we talked about is gone F# And the only chance we have of moving on E Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong Chorus: F# G#m Before the worst, before we met G#m Before our hearts decide It's time to love again F# G#m Before too late, before too long G#m Lets try to take it back Before it all went wrong There was a time when we stayed up all night Best friends, yeah, talking till the daylight We took the joys alongside the pain With not much to lose but so much to gain Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don't wanna miss Set you adrift on a memory bliss It was Grafton Street on a rainy night I was down on one knee and you were mine for life We were thinking we would never be apart With your name tattooed across my heart Oh, who would ever thought we would end up like this? Where everything we talked about is gone And the only chance we have of moving on Is try to take it back before it all went wrong Chorus C#m If the clouds don't clear F# Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it C#m Heavens gate is so near F# Come walk with me through Just like we used to, just like we used to Yeah Yeah Let's take it back before it all went wrong Chorus: Before the worst (before) Before we mend (before) Before our hearts decide it's time to love again Before too late Before too long Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong (all wrong) Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m  E  F#  G#m  G#m7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
