[Intro]
G# Fm x2
[Verse 1]
G#
Lately I've been thinking about you
Fm
And the time we spent on the beach
G#
Time flew by we felt so high
Fm
We left our problems out of reach
[Refrain 1]
C#
But we didn't really make
it that far I broke
D#
down when I saw your car
Fm
Leave my house for the
last time You said
D#
The fault is all mine
[Chorus 1]
G#
If I don't care why do I
Fm
feel the need to stare
C#
At our pictures now that
D#
you've clearly moved on?
G#
If I don't care then why
Fm
is this so much to bear?
C#
I've spent too much time
D#
trying to hold on
And now you're gone
[Post Chorus]
G# A#m Fm x2

Fm
All the times we spent in

my bed You held me tight

you softly on your head

But we didn't really make
it that far I broke

down when I saw your car

The fault is all mine
