Intro: D
D
You know I'm bad at communication, it's the hardest thing for me to do
And it's said, it's the most important part that relationships will go through
A G
And I'd give it all away just so I could say that
D
I know I know I know I know that you're gonna be okay OK anyway
D
You know there's no rhyme or reason for the way you turned out to be
I didn't go and try to change your mind, not intentionally
A G
I know it's hard to hear me say it but I can't bear to stay and
D
I just know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway
D A
Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
G D
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
Bm A
But I fumbled and when I came down to the wire

It felt right, it felt right, oh

D
Does your imagination try to make you what you wanted to be
Because I'm sorry I do what I did, but it came naturally
A G
So I gave it all away just so I could say that
D
Well I know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway
D
Well I try to keep myself together, after all the opportunities
I try to stay true to you and try to do what you wanted for me

And I'd give it all away just to hear you say that
D
Well I know I know I know I know that you're gonna be OK anyway
