I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
X
That don't bother me
Em7 D Gsus4
I can take a few tears now and then and just let em out
Gsus4 Cadd9 Em7
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though
D
Goin' on with you gone still upsets me
Gsus4
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
D
But that's not what gets me
Em7
What hurts the most
Gsus4
Was being so close
Gsus2
And havin' so much to say
D
And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'

What could've been

Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go

But I'm doin' it

It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
X
Still harder
Gsus4 Cadd9 Em7
Gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
D
But I know if I could do it over
Gsus4
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
D
That I left unspoken
Em7
What hurts the most
Gsus4
Is being so close
