[Intro]

Fmaj7   C   Am   G
 
 
[Verse]

                  Fmaj7
I always found it funny
          C
That your favorite part of a movie
    Am                               G
Was trying to guess the end before I could
                      Fmaj7
I should have seen it coming
      C
But I got so lost in the story
       Am                      G
It was over long before I understood
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

    Fmaj7                        Am
And I can't stop your storm from rollin' in
 
And wrecking things
    C                     G
But shelter me until it's through
    Fmaj7                      Am
And all this time you've had a gentle 

way of holding me
   C                                    G
So could you please release me that way too?
 
 
[Chorus]

            Fmaj7
'Cause it's okay to say goodbye
            C
Some things live, but all things die
              Am                      
And I can let go of all of the things 
             G
I hoped we'd be
            Fmaj7
And I don't need the reasons why
               C
'Cause we both know how hard wΠ΅ tried
          Am                
If coming apart and breaking 
                     G
my heart is what you need
                 Fmaj7     C             Am      G
BrΠ΅ak it carefully,         break it carefully
 
 
[Verse]

                           Fmaj7
Well, don't you think it's funny?
          C
That I'm asking you for your mercy
      Am                                 G
After all the nights you asked me for a dance
                  Fmaj7
I guess I'm kinda lucky
        Cmaj7  C
That we got so close to the real thing
        Am                        G
When so many never even get the chance
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

    Fmaj7                        Am
And I can't stop your storm from rollin' in
 
And wrecking things
    C                     G
But shelter me until it's through
    Fmaj7                      Am
And all this time you've had a gentle

 way of holding me
   C                                    G
So could you please release me that way too?
 
 
[Chorus]

            Fmaj7
'Cause it's okay to say goodbye
            C
Some things live, but all things die
              Am                     
And I can let go of all of the things 
             G
I hoped we'd be
            Fmaj7
And I don't need the reasons why
               C
'Cause we both know how hard wΠ΅ tried
          Am                 
If coming apart and breaking 
                     G
my heart is what you need
 
BrΠ΅ak it carefully
 
 
[Bridge]

              Fmaj7
I could leave all this behind me
             C
If I could remember you kindly
              Am
I could leave all this behind me
             G
If I could remember you kindly
                  Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             C
If I could remember you kindly
                  Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             G
If I could remember you kindly
                  Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             C
If I could remember you kindly
                  Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             G
If I could remember you kindly
                  Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             C
If I could remember you kindly
                  Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             G
If I could remember you kindly
 
Fmaj7   C
 
 
[Outro]

          Am                 
If coming apart and breaking 
                     G
my heart is what you need
               Fmaj7   C               Am    G
Break it carefully,    break it carefully
