C#
I woke up with a text
F#
It had your name and It said
Hey I know it's late
C#
But I have something to say
I didn't answer you in time
F#
Hoping you'd change your mind
Baby, what would you do
A#m
Tell me, if it were you
G# F#
The text said
A#m
You know I love you
G# F#
And you know I need you
C#
This can't be happening to me
F#
This can't be happening to us
You said I was your first love
C#
You said I was the only one
This can't be true
F#
Baby please don't go
A#m
I wish you were lying
G# C#
But it is the truth though
C#
As I got up and out of bed
F#
I light up a cigarette
And the first thing crossing
A#m
My mind it's you
G# F#
In my heart A#m
You'll always be here
G# F#
But we know the truth
C#
This can't be happening to me
F#
This can't be happening to us
You said I was your first love
C#
You said I was the only one
This can't be true
F#
Baby please don't go
A#m
I wish you were lying
G#
But it is the truth though
( D#m F# C# G# )
D#m F# C#
And I know I'm naive
G#
To think you still be Here
D#m F#
But help me forget
C#
All the things
G#
That sherded my tears
