[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
