VERSE 1

F#m           A
In my mind I can't imagine
F#m                A
How the world has come to me
    F#m            A
And in my heart I can't detach
     F#m              A
The feeling that it couldn't be


PRE-CHORUS 1

    D      E             A
And no, I don't want to kiss you
 E             D       E     A/C#  E
Don't want to miss you if you go away
      D       E             A
I'll fake it don't want to make it
 E             D     E     A/C#  F#m
Don't want to feel another way


CHORUS

                D
Once you had a love and you let it go
          E       F#m
Now you know what matters
                 D
Once you had a dream that you realized
           E         F#m
But do you know what matters


VERSE 2

 F#m                       A
Cause you're alone in the sense that I am
F#m                 A
But you know we're not alone
    F#m                A
And we aren't perfect nothing is
    F#m           A
But try to understand


PRE-CHORUS 2
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/matthew_sweet/what_matters_crd.html ]
             D         E         A
The moment leaves you without a vision
 E           D       E     A/C#
Can't see decisions being made
   E       D        E           A
I can describe the picture I'm painting
D     E    A      E       F#m
It's not amazing when you know


CHORUS

                D
Once you had a love and you let it go
          E       F#m
Now you know what matters
                 D
Once you had a dream that you realized
           E         F#m
But do you know what matters



BRIDGE

    D          E       A/C#    E/G#
To leave your feelings in the past
 D      E     A/C#        F#m       E/G#      D
Part of it is to know you can't go back for free

Part of it is to know you can't go back for free
