verse 1

D

The feeling starts to sink in,

D5 E5 D5 C#5 D5

But it's beginning to rust,

G Bm

Still hanging onto the things that we discussed,

A G

But the point that was made isn't said and done...

D

Now the sun shines so bright, but it won't shine for you,

G

You remind me of rain in July

Bm

And the gloom that I felt for a year,

A G

And the clouds are always shaped just like you

Em Fm G

But there's a parting light...

[Refrão]

D

I always told you that someday

G

I would be packing my bags and I would be on my way,

D

You always laughed in my face,

And made the world seem so grey,

G

Lay in the bed that you made

D

So I can finally say that I'm fine,

You can just say "whatever,"

G

I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off,

D

But I am cursed with a staircase wit,

G Bm

Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip

Bridge 1

Bm D

Don't judge me on my bad habits,

Bm G D

I could pick out every flaw of yours,

G

And unearth all your imperfections.

Bm G Bm

Beneath the surface I have seen,

Bm G D

The ugly truth behind the beauty queen...

[Refrão]

D

I always told you that someday

G

I would be packing my bags and I would be on my way,

You always laughed in my face,

And made the world seem so grey,

G

Lay in the bed that you made

D

So I can finally say that I'm fine,

You can just say "whatever,"

G

I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off,

D

But I am cursed with a staircase wit,

G Bm

Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip

Bridge 2

D A D

D

Held it back,

Lost the nerve,

G D

Was too scared to talk when you gave me your hand

G

And you gave me your heart,

D A G

When you should have kept it to yourself

D A G

You should have kept it to yourself,

D G A G

I wish you'd kept it to yourself
