Verse: 

     Em 
You never got bad? before 
      C 
With your mistakes you can’t keep score 
     G                                D 
We never can clean up the mess we’ve made 
     Em 
This is the ???????????????????? when 
       C 
The should’ve would’ve could’ve things 
   G                                   D 
Breaking someone’s heart should be a crime 


Pre-Chorus 

  C                  G                  D 
Life’s too short to stop and watch it leave? 
    C               G                D 
So take this paper bag and try to breathe 


   G 
Darling 
   Bm 
??????? 
    C 
Let go and understand? 
          Cm 
You’re squeezin’ off my hand? 
      G 
This love ??? 
      Bm 
Don’t let go 
           C 
And it’s kinda hard to breathe 
               Cm 
When you’re pulling on my sleeve
