Verse 1:                                               
                                 Em      F#/G (sustain)
I guess this time you're really leaving 
                                 D
I heard your suitcase say goodbye 
                                 Em      F#/G (sustain)
And as my broken heart lies bleeding 
                           D            *STOP*
You say true love is suicide 
                                  Em      F#/G (sustain)
You say you've cried a thousand rivers 
                                     D        
And now you're swimming for the shore 
                            Em      F#/G (sustain)
You left me drowning in my tears  
                        A           *STOP*
And you won't save me anymore 
                                                   
I pray to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you 
                             
I'd live and I'd die for you

Steal the sun from the sky for you 
  G
Words can't say what love can do

Verse 2:
                                 Em      F#/G (sustain)    
I know you know we've had some good times 
                                 D
Now they have their own hiding place 
                       Em      F#/G (sustain)
I can promise you tomorrow 
                         A
But I can't buy back yesterday 
                                  G    A
And Baby you know my hands are dirty 
                         D/C#/Bm
But I wanted to be your valentine 
                                  G    
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby 
                                 A            D
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine     

Chorus

Verse 3:
                                  G         A
And I wasn't there when you were happy    
                              D/C#/Bm                       
I wasn't there when you were down 
                            G
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby 
                                       A   *Scream*
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
