          G 
Should've kissed you there 
            D 
I should've held your face 
            Em 
I should've watched those eyes 
           C 
Instead of run in place 
            G 
I should've called you out 
            D 
I should've said your name 
            Em 
I should've turned around 
            C 
I should've looked again 

 
    D   Em                 C      G      G 
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made 
Em                  C      G 
I 'm staring at the mess I made 
Em                  C      G 
I 'm staring at the mess I made 
       D         Em                  C       G 
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away 


          G 
Should've held my ground 
           D 
I could've been redeemed 
          Em 
For every second chance 
                C 
That changed its mind on me 
            G 
I should've spoken up 
            D 
I should've proudly claimed 
           Em 
That oh my head's to blame 
         C 
For all my heart's mistakes 

 

    D   Em                 C      G      G 
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made 
Em                  C      G 
I 'm staring at the mess I made 
Em                  C      G 
I 'm staring at the mess I made 
       D         Em                  C       G 
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away 

    G     D       Em    C 
And it's you, and it's you 
    G     D       Em    C 
And it's you, and it's you 
         G       D            Em    C 
And it's falling down, as you walk away 
         G      D          Em  D 
And it's on me now, as you go 


    D   Em                 C      G      G 
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made 
Em                  C      G 
I 'm staring at the mess I made 
Em                  C      G 
I 'm staring at the mess I made 
       D         Em                  C       G 
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away 


         G       D            Em    C 
And it's falling down, as you walk away 
         G      D          Em  D 
And it's on me now, as you go 


 
    D   Em                 C      G      G 
But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made 
Em                  C      G 
I 'm staring at the mess I made 
Em                  C      G 
I 'm staring at the mess I made 
       D         Em                  C 
As you turn, you take your heart and walk away
