Verse 1
E                 A             E                    B 
I was dumb enough not to settle down when you wanted to 
E               A          E              B              E 
Now I'm sitting here going crazy trying to crawl back to you

But I was smart enough to come to my senses 
                      B 
Be who you need me to be 
    E               A       E 
And if you say that I'm too late 
                 B         E 
I'll curl up and die in misery

If my foolish heart was wrong

This truly was never meant to be 
      E                      A               E

And love you as much as me
