 	F	C	Bb 
You could be happy and I	 won't kno	w 
 	F	C	Bb 
But you weren't happy the day I watched you g	o 
 	F	C	Bb 
And all the things that I wish I had not said	  
 	F	C	Bb 
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head 

 	Gm	F	Bb 
Is it too late to remind you how we were? 
 	Gm	F	Bb 
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur 
 	Gm	F	Bb 
Most of what I remember makes me sure	  
 	F	C	Bb 
I should have stopped you from walking out the door 

 	F	C	Bb 
You could be happy, I hope you are 
 	F	C	Bb 
You made me happier than I'd been by far 
 	F	C	Bb 
Somehow everything I own smells of you 
 	F	C	Bb 
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true 

 	Gm	F	Bb 
Do the things that you always wanted to 
 	Gm	F	Bb 
Without me there to hold you back, don't 	think, just do 
 	Gm	F	Bb 
More than anything I want to see you go 
 	F	C	Bb 
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
