D Bm
Feeling the remnants, gone in an instance
E F#m
Blink of an eye, no goodbye

I had a notion deep as the ocean
E F#m
Blue like the sky, oh my

Like a permanent stain wishing I could just wash away, away

Prayed our love wasn't vain

Who was to blame for all the pain? For all the pain?

If I would've known, if I would've known

If I would have known it could have been you, been you

The repercussions of missing your loving
E F#m
Haunts me at night, the ghosts are alive

All of the memories
Bm E F#m
A serenity dwindle in my mind
All the time

Like a permanent stain wishing I could just wash away, away

Prayed our love wasn't vain

Who was to blame for all the pain? For all the pain?
