verse 1
Em C
I look up from the ground to see your sad and teary eyes
G D/F#
You look away from me, and I see there’s something you're trying to hide
Em C
And I, reach for your hand and its cold and you pull away again
G D/F#
And I, wonder, what’s on your mind ind ind
Pre-Chorus
C Em
And then you say to me “you made a dumb mistake”
D D
You start to tremble, and your voice begins to break
C Em
You say the cigarettes on the counter weren’t your friends, they were my
mates
D D
And I feel the colour draining from my face
N.C.
And my friends said…
[Refrão]Em C
I know you love her but it’s over mate
G D/F#
It doesn’t matter, put the phone away
Em C
It’s never easy to walk away
G D/F#
But let her go oh oh oh
N.C.
And it’ll be alright
verse 2
Em C
I asked to look back at all the messages you’d sent
G D/F#
I know it wasn’t right but it was fucking with my head
Em C
And everything deleted like the past, it was gone
G D/F#
And when I touched your face I could tell you're moving on
Pre-Chorus
C Em
And it’s not the fact that you kissed him yesterday
D D
It’s the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake
C Em
And everything I know that tells me that I should walk away
D D
But I just want to stay…
N.C.
And my friends said…
[Refrão]Em C
I know you love her but it’s over mate
G D/F#
It doesn’t matter, put the phone away
Em C
It’s never easy to walk away
G D/F#
But let her go oh oh oh
N.C.
And it’ll be alright
Em C
Coz its gonna hurt for a bit of time

So, bottoms up, let’s forget tonight
Em C
You’d find another and you’d be just fine
G D
Let her go oh oh oh
Bridge

The pass like time

The love we’re born to find
Em C
But nothing heals
G D
The pass like time
Em C
And they can't steal

The love we’re born to find
