C                   G 
Thought that I’d be better off 
   Em           D  
If I were on my own 
C                 G 
I tried to put my finger  
       Em             D 
On the moment we went wrong 

C                    G 
But the taste turned bitter 
     Em          D 
So I pulled the trigger 
C           G 
Not so easy to move on 
  Em                  D 
I guess I should have known 

C          G 
Ice cold, I freeze up when I see ya 
Em               D 
Left you just to find out that I need ya 
C          G 
So far, I wanna pull you closer 
Em               D 
I wish we could start the whole thing over 

C 
Ever since I left you  
G                           Em 
I’ve been trying to get you back 
                     D 
And it keeps getting worse 
C 
I’m burning on the inside 
G                       Em                       D 
And the truth is that I didn’t know how good you were  

                C    G 
Until you were gone 
                Em   D 
Until you were gone 
                C    G 
Until you were gone 
                Em   D 
Until you were gone 

C            G              Em                  D 
I was always told that only time would heal the pain 
C                    G                Em                   D 
And even though it’s been so long, it still hurts just the same 
C                 G                Em        D 
Yeah you know I’m finding that the break was binding 
C                G                  Em                  D 
I take back everything I said, ooh, won’t you just come home? 


C          G 
Ice cold, I freeze up when I see ya 
Em               D 
Left you just to find out that I need ya 
C          G 
So far, I wanna pull you closer 
Em               D 
I wish we could start the whole thing over 

C 
Ever since I left you  
G                           Em 
I’ve been trying to get you back 
                     D 
And it keeps getting worse 
C 
I’m burning on the inside 
G                       Em                       D 
And the truth is that I didn’t know how good you were  

                C    G 
Until you were gone 
                Em   D 
Until you were gone 
                C    G 
Until you were gone 
                Em   D 
Until you were gone
