VERSE1:
Chords:
A       x0222x
Aadd11  xx0220

   A     
In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round,
I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground,

Aadd11
Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down,
World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown.

A
Please let me show you where we could only just be for us,
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust,

    Aadd11
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust,
We can even have an open relationship, if you must,

  A
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me,
But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me,

         Aadd11
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity,
When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet.


CHORUS:
Chords:
A       x0222x
Aadd11  xx0220

A
Dry your eyes mate,
                                               Aadd11
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up,
There's plenty more fish in the sea,

A
Dry your eyes mate,
                                              Aadd11
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts,
But you've got to walk away now it's over.


VERSE2:
Chords:
A       x0222x
Aadd11  xx0220

   A
So then I move my hand up from down by my side,
It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes,

Aadd11
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies,
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh.

A
'Cos I can't imagine my life without you and me,
There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein'

   Aadd11
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely,
Please, please, I'm beggin' please.

    A
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested,
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with

    Aadd11
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures,
By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers.


[repeat CHORUS]


BRIDGE:
Chords:
A   x0222x
D5  xx023x

A
  I know in the past I've found it hard to say,
D5
  Tellin' you things but not tellin' straight.

A
  But the more I pull on your hand and say,
D5
  The more you pull away.


VERSE3:
Chords:
A       x0222x
Aadd11  xx0220

A
Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation,
Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin'

Aadd11
  Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in,
Look into her eyes to make her listen again.

A
I'm not gonna fuckin', just fuckin' leave it all now,
'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow,

Aadd11
  And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down,
You're well out of order now, this is well out of town.

A
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist,
Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight,

Aadd11
Turns around so she's now got her back to my face,
Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away.


[repeat CHORUS]


BRIDGE2:

[Sing a cappella]

And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word
'Cause everything's just gone
I've got nothin', absolutely nothin'


[repeat CHORUS] [sing second half a cappella]
