        C               G                      F             C 
In the darkness of the night, all I hear is a ringing in my ears 
       F                  C                 G 
And my eyes are full of tears that I can't see 
          Am                  Em             Am          G        Am 
And I'll see comfort in bad places, and I'm trying to forget the faces 
         F                 C                G              C 
But the many friends will say, that it was never meant to be

And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be 
  F                          C            G 
Though you once told me we'd always be as one. 
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am 
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away

 C                               G                    F          C 
Well, it left some damage in my wake, but I have the liberty to take the time to say 
F         C              G 
"It ain't all my fault alone” 
              Am                           Em        Am    G        Am 
I've been deceived and I've been forced to leave, my anger and my greaving 
      F                    C              G               C 
In a heart that’s still believing, it was always meant to be."

You have turned your beauty and your charme into a weapon of badly harm, the man you said, 
  F                          C            G 
Was the best friend you've been knowing 
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am 
Then, your ways are justified, by stubborn foolish pride. 
           F              C               G              C 
And the price is payed by me, because that’s the way it’s meant to be.

There is no dignity in remaining; love ain't worth retaining, anymore 
  F                          C            G 
So let’s just do each other in. 
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am 
And leave the sadness and the fury, the judgement of a jury 
           F              C               G              C 
And the signature that’s saying, "it was never meant to be."
