VERSE 
        D 
Well we talked all night 
          Em 
trying to make things right 
        D 
Can't believe it's gone 

       D 
Had it all worked out 
       Em 
in the morning doubts 
       D 
and it all goes wrong

I can't give up on you

         D 
Going to find yourself 
        Em 
through someone else

had it once but it should have been twice

I'm trying and trying to move on 
                Bm                          D
