Intro: A E A E A E C# B A E C# B 

verse 1 
A 
I’ve always wanted what I can’t have 
                                        A 
And I've been making it a note to feel what’s left to feel 
and put my shoulder to the wheel 
E 
Everything about me used to have a mind of its own 
A 
I've got what’s left of me, some positivity 
and no more waiting on a dial tone  
          C# 
because I've loved and lost a cause 
      B 
and that’s enough to never let you forget me 

Chorus 
A                                   E           C#       B 
we've been gone for too long to see this happen again 
A                          E                     C#              
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant 
A               E        C#     B 
you’re crying, I’m not trying 
A                             E      C#   B 
I won’t let this life get so critical 

verse 2 
A 
Remember the time you asked me to let go? 
                                       A 
Where did you want me to begin? 
Take a stand     
                                                E 
You know you haven’t got what you came for 
                                                                A 
And recently, my counter seems to be the place to be at night 
                                                            E 
You were right, I must be wrong for wanting you to know 

I let go of the old 
                               C# 
And you don’t deserve to see where it leads me to be 
                                              A 
And doesn't that make you question why we were here in the first place? 
E 
We were here in the first place 

Chorus 
A                                   E           C#       B 
we've been gone for too long to see this happen again 
A                          E                     C#              
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant 
A               E        C#     B 
you’re crying, I’m not trying 
A                             E      C#   B 
I won’t let this life get so critical 


Bridge 
A                         E 
I’m like a boy lost in a city 
      B 
Not wanting to be found 
A                                        E                       B 
everything is a sight to see until you come back around (You come back around) 
A                          E 
I’m like a boy lost in a city 
      B 
Not wanting to be found 
A                                    E                 B 
everything is a site to see until you come back around 


Chorus (Strum once) 
A                             E                 B 
we've been gone for too long to see this happen again 
A                          E                     B               
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant 
A               E       B 
you’re crying, I’m not trying 
A                             E      C#   B 
I won’t let this life get so critical
