G
Let's Go!
Verse 1
G Cadd9
In the beginning I was up front
Em D
Nothing to think about, you'd always hear me out
G Cadd9
We made a pact to never give up
Em D
When everything would change, we'd always stay the same
Pre-Chorus
G
Something went wrong along the way
Cadd9
You'd come around and there's nothing left to say
Em D
It's like we're strangers anyway, what more could you ask of me
Em D
It's been a long time coming, but everyone's gonna hear me now
G
If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed
Cadd9
Make you regret all the things you said to me
Em
You know that time can't help us now,
D
If I leave this, if I leave this way.
Verse 2
G Cadd9
I've always been a man of action,
Em D
Never let anything keep ahold of me

Can always tell when something's missing,

Like I knew everything except for you and me

G
I can't make you want to stay,
Cadd9
I'll take a shot but it's broken anyway
Em D
I still gave it everything, I guess I never catch my break
Em D
It's been a long time coming, but everyone's gonna hear me now

If I leave, bet you'll wish I'd stayed

And try to right all the wrongs we've ever made

Well let your problems weight me down

If I leave this, if I leave this way.
