[Verso 1]

A 
  You tell me that you're leavin' 
              F#m 
You say that time will slow the bleedin' 
                     D 
Of this heart that I've placed into your hands 
                     Bm 
I held it out to you 
                     E 
Now you give it back, what am I supposed to do? 
A 
  Oh, I had a feeling 
                F#m 
This day would come and leave me reeling 
                 D 
I just want to run back in your arms again 
                            Bm 
But they're no longer there 
                       E 
To hold me safe inside, to hold me anywhere 



[Refrão]

A         Bm    F#m  C#m 
Ooh, if I can't have you 
          D                            A 
Then I'll have to find a way to get through 
         Bm    F#m  C#m 
Though I don't want to 
   D                       Bm 
I have to do my best to recall 
       E                              A 
That I'm thankful that I held you at all 



[Verso 1]

A 
  I miss you every morning and in the evening rain 
F#m 
  Tonight, it's pouring, and I'm alone again 
Bm 
  I count the seconds between the thoughts of you 
Bm                         E 
  I'm getting better, baby, I'm almost up to two 
A 
  Oh, you had your reasons, and I know 
F#m 
  Some folks are seasons, they got to come and go 
Bm 
  But I'm still tender (Still tender), I miss the summertime 
Bm                           E 
  When I could feel your love and I could still feel mine

Though I don't want to 
   D                      Bm 
I have to do my best to recall 
       E 
That I'm thankful that I held you at all 



[Ponte]

G 
  You gave me everything 
Bm                           A 
  That I will need to walk this long road (Show me the way to get back) 
G 
  Gave me a sense of pride 
Bm                          E 
  That I will carry with me all the way back home
