C#m B A
I ve put it all behind me, nothing left to do or doubt
F#m C#m B
Some may say
C#m B A
But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud
F#m C#m B
That comes my way
C#m B A
Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain
F#m C#m B
No choice I feel
C#m B A
Love is hard to measure, hidden in the rain
F#m C#m B
That s why you ll find me
E C#m F#m
Here all alone and still wondering why
A B
Waitin inside for the cold to get colder
E C#m F#m
And here where it s clear that I ve wasted my time
A B Ab7 C#m
Hopin to fly cause it s almost over now
C#m B A
People come together, people go their own way
F#m C#m B
Love conquers few
C#m B A
And I ll do whatever I ll say what I need to say
F#m C#m B
Just not for you
E C#m F#m
How many days should I smile with a frown?
A B
Cos you re not around with the sun on your shoulders
E C#m F#m
And how many nights must I wake up alone
A B Ab7 C#m
And know in my soul that it s almost over now?
C#m B
Love is like a paper airplane
B A
Flyin in the folded dent pause
F#m C#m B
Ridin high dippin low
C#m B
But innocence is fair game
B Ab7 C#m
I m hopin I can hold it in
F#m C#m B E
Our love will die I know
