[C] [F] [G] [C] [Am] [F] [C] [C]

VERSE 1:
It [C] happens every [F] time I think a-[G]-bout the reasons [C] why
I'm sittin' [Am] here alone at [F] night and not with [G] you [G]
The [C] heartache takes con-[F]-trol and lets me [G] know just what a [C] fool
I was and [Am] how you can't e-[F]-rase the things you [C] do [C]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
And [Am] sorry just can't mend the broken [G] heart I've handed you
[Am] break apart is what most broken [G] hearts tell you to [G open] do

CHORUS:
But I'm a [C] long, [G] long [F] way from over [C] you
Don't think I've [Am] ever seen so [F] many shades of [G] blue [G]
They [C] say that time will [G] heal, don't know [F] if I ever [C] will
Cause I'm a [Am] long, long [G] way from over [C] you

VERSE 2:
Now [C] over you just [F] sounds like some lost [G] city people [C] tell me
how to [Am] find but somehow [F] I just never [G] do [G]
And [C] maybe its be-[F]-cause I never [G] wanted to at [C] all
of course now [Am] I see that I [F] had the best in [C] you [C]

PRE-CHORUS 2:
That [Am] clock just runs in circles, the da [G] ys just go on by
[Am] the memories hold me closer no [G] matter how I [G open] cry
