Intro: F C G F C G
C F C
I never meant to make you cry
C F C
A fool I was, I never meant to say goodbye
F
Can't you feel the pressure drop, can't you see the pressure's off?
C
Heaven's here in front of me, I can't breathe and I can't speak
F G
Baby, I never realized...
C F
As the days and nights roll on
C F
I've prayed for these moments since the day I was born
Dm
But oh, God, baby I never realized
G C
The joy till the joy was gone
I know I'm wrong, I know I was so blind
And worst of all, I saw the tears, I saw you cry
F G
And you can build walls to surround you
F G
But I'd tear down this world till I found you
F G
You're the treasure, believe me I need you
C
Come home
And as time rolls on, I've been fighting since the day I was born
But oh, God, baby I never realized
The joy till the joy was gone
