[Intro: ](E F# G#m ) 2x
G#m
It's been a while since the two of us talked
About a week since the day you walked
E
Knowing things would never be the same
With your empty heart and mine full of pain
G#m
So explain to me, how it came to this
Take it back to the night we kissed
E
It was Dublin city on Friday night
With vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night
G#m
We were sitting with our backs against the world
E
Saying things that we thought but never heard
Oh who would have thought it would end up like this?
G#m
Where everything we talked about is gone
F#
And the only chance we have of moving on
Is try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
E F# G#m
Before the worst, before we mend
Before our hearts decide
It`s time to love again
E F# G#m
Before too late, before too long
Let`s try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
G#m
There was a time, that we`d stay up all night
Best friends yeah talking till the daylight
E
Took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to lose, but so much to gain
G#m
Are you hearing me? Cause I don`t wanna miss,
Set you adrift on memory bliss
E
It was Grafton Street on the rainy night
I was down on one knee and you were mine for life
G#m
We were thinking we would never be apart
E
With your name tattooed across my heart
Oh who would have thought it would end up like this?
G#m
Where everything we talked about is gone
F#
And the only chance we have of moving on
Is try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
E F# G#m
Before the worst, before we mend
Before our hearts decide
It`s time to love again
E F# G#m
Before too late, before too long
Let`s try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
C#m G#m
If the clouds don`t clear
F#
Then we`ll rise above it, we`ll rise above it
C#m G#m
Heaven`s gate is so near
F#
Come walk with me through
Just like we use to, just like we use to.
E F# G#m
E F#
F#
Let`s take it back
Before it all went wrong
E F# G#m
Before the worst, before we mend
Before our hearts decide
It`s time to love again
E F# G#m
Before too late, before too long
Let`s try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
(E F# G#m) 2x
