Em                             D 
I guess I finally got it right 
    Am 
You called me up on a moonless night 
Em                             D          Am 
You used to know when I was almost gone 
  Em                              D 
It always starts with one mistake and 
Am 
Picking up was all it take 
     C 
But this time you had me waiting too long 

          G                            D 
Cause I'm lonely, but baby that's just heartbreak 
                   Am 
And it ain't gonna kill me 
                   C 
As long as I don't let you back for one last round 
        G                   D                               Am 
There's places only you can take me, I used to think you'll save me 
 C                Em      D    Am 
No, I know better now 

Em                                 D 
If you'd have called the other day 
     Am 
Well this could have gone the other way 
    Em                             D    Am 
And I'd be somewhere up against your skin 
  Em                                 D                      Am 
But Heaven sent a little grace and I woke up in a different place 
C 
And I ain't goin' back where I've been 

          G                            D 
Cause I'm lonely, but baby that's just heartbreak 
                   Am 
And it ain't gonna kill me 
                   C 
As long as I don't let you back for one last round 
        G                   D                               Am 
There's places only you can take me, I used to think you'll save me 
      C                Em      
But no, I know better now 

                 D                          C 
I could pull you close, I could breathe you in 
                  Am        C    
Say that it's the last time again... 

          G                            D 
Cause I'm lonely, but baby that's just heartbreak 
                   Am 
And it ain't gonna kill me 
                   C 
As long as I don't let you back for one last round 
        G                   D                               Am 
There's places only you can take me, I used to think you'll save me         
 C               G                           D                    Am     
No, I know better now  I know better, I know better, I know better now 
C                
I know better now
