         G             Am7 
When we started it was years ago 
    C               Am7 
We tried so hard to find our souls 
G          Am7                  C 
Losing any sense then won't let go 
      G                    Am7 
So we crossed the line and can't turn back 
C             Am7 
Happy endings never last 
         G              Am7            C 
There is always more to stories never told 
 
    D                  Em            C9                G 
Is this what I've been waiting for a life with someone else 
    D            Em               C9 
To polish all my faded dreams and put them on the shelf 
    D                  Em                     C9               A 
Is this what I've been dreamin' of 'cause I'm needing so much more 
          C                  D               G  Am7  C  G  Am7  C 
I'm just trying to get back where we were before 
 
    G                Am7 
We tried so hard for everyone 
            C               Am7 
Because we thought we had forever 
       G           Am7                     C 
And a day we never thought would end this way 
       G                 Am7            C                Am7 
With a million mornings left to come we never cared from losing one 
          G             Am7          C 
But it's half past my forever and I need someone to hold my hand 
 
          D                  Em             C9               G 
And your just what I've been waiting for to come and take me in 
    D              Em               C9 
To grab a hold and take control and make me whole again 
    D              Em                 C9               A 
And if you need my everything you can take it all and more 
     C                    D               G  Am7  C  Am7 
Just help me to get back where we were before 
 
Em 
I've grown numb to somethings 
C7M 
Hunger for the one thing 
Em                                C7M 
   That takes me back to where it all began, it all began 
Em                C 
I know we've grown apart 
                   A 
But every now and then 
        C                D             G  Am7  C  Am7  G  Am7  C 
I just close my eyes and here we are again 
 
          D                  Em             C9               G 
And your just what I've been waiting for to come and take me in 
    D              Em               C9 
To grab a hold and take control and make me whole my friend 
D              Em                 C9               A 
If you need my everything you can take it all and more  
     C                    D 
Just help me to get back where we were, 
     C                    D 
just help me to get back where we were, 
     C                    D              G  Am7  C 
Just help me to get back where we were before 
Am7              G  Am7  C 
Where we were before
