[Intro]
Am  F  C  G  x2
[Strophe]
          Am          F 
You can't lie to yourself 
       C               G 
After loving something true 
          Am            F 
And I've never loved a soul 
           C                G 
Quite the way that I loved you 
     Am            F 
You told me you despise 
       C                G 
Everything that I've become 
        Am           F 
How we always turn into 
      C                   G 
Everything we're running from
[Instrumentale]
Am  F  C  G
[Strophe]
       Am                F 
And I miss the way you followed 
         C                G 
When I jaywalked in the street 
         Am                  F 
How you always talked more trash 
         C                G 
Than any boy bad mouthin' me 
        Am                 F 
And the way that the oak creaked 
          C                G 
When you snuck up from my bed 
    Am                 F 
The way that missing someone 
               C             G 
Will have you seeing steady red
[Refrain]
         F 
Take it slow as you leave me 
          G 
Don't you go home this evening 
        Am 
With someone 
                           C 
That you're acting like is me 
            F 
And I will try my hardest darling 
 G 
Wait on a star that's falling 
    Am                    C 
And I will wait so patiently 
 Am               G 
One thing I have quickly 
         C 
come to know 
Am                 G 
Nothing kills you slower than 
 C 
Letting someone go
[Instrumentale]
Am  F  C  G  x2
[Refrain]
            F 
So take it slow as you leave me 
          G 
Don't you go home this evening 
        Am 
With someone 
                           C 
That you're acting like is me 
            F 
And I will try my hardest darling 
 G 
Wait on a star that's falling 
    Am                    C 
And I will wait so desperately 
 Am               G 
One thing I have quickly 
         C 
come to know 
Am                 G 
Nothing kills you slower than 
 C 
Letting someone go
