I didn't look over my shoulder

I wasn't ready for this

Didn't see the signs over the horizon

I was so sure that you would never leave but you did
 
[Refrão]
G Cadd9
So sweep away the sand, the tide, the ocean and just
Am D
Pack the moon and stars up in a cardboard box and
G Cadd9
Stop the clocks from chimin', block the sun from shinin'
Am C G Cadd9 G Cadd9
And Paint the sky a deeper shade of blue
D G
Cause my world's over without you

I know I should just keep goin'

I never thought I'd see the day when
Em Em/F# Am D C
You'd go and leave me here with my broken heart, but you did

Pack the moon and stars up in a cardboard box and

Stop the clocks from chimin', block the sun from shinin'

Maybe someday all the pain will fade
C
Maybe this hurt will slowly slip away
Am
Maybe some days will never change
D G
And I'll still love you
