Intro: Gm F Gm F Gm
Gm F Am
Walked when I shoulda run
Bb F
Ran when I shoulda walked
Gm F
And don't I know it
Gm F
And don't I know it
Walked when I shoulda run
And I ran when I shoulda walked
And don't I know it
And don't I know it
Gm F
You get inside me
Gm F
Even when you went beside me
Bb Cm Eb F - G
And I go into hiding
Eb F - G
And I know I never leave it alone
Gm F Gm
Another round of if only's
F
Of all the ways you could know me
Cm Eb F
How I take time going slowly
Gm Eb Am
Of a time that I did on my own
Still I walked when I shoulda run
And I ran when I shoulda walked
And don't I know it, don't I know it
And don't I know it
Well, I walked when I shoulda run
And I ran when I shoulda walked
And don't I know it, don't I know it
And don't I know it
And your head's in the ocean
Too deep to know where you're going
Hoping time can be frozen
And you'll end up where you really belong
But the days keep on rolling
We live in different moments
And the hurt is unfolding
Everyday that we do and we don't
Still I walked when I shoulda run
And I ran when I shoulda walked
And don't I know it, don't I know it
And don't I know it, don't I know it
Well, I walked when I shoulda run
And I ran when I shoulda walked
And don't I know it, don't I know it
And don't I, don't I, don't I know it
No-no-no, no-no-no
Sign for what's been
Sign for what never been
The line under what's been
The line for what never been
And the years are collected
I pray that we are regretless
You and I, the connected
You and I in the blood and the bone
