G5G
There is not a single word in the whole world
A3 D
That could describe the hurt
G5G
The dullest knife just sawing back and forth
G5GC
And ripping through the softest skin there ever was
FC
How were you to know?
FC
Oh, how were you to know?
G5G
And I, I hate to see your heart break
AFA
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
CA
But I've been there before
DC2
And I, I hate to see your heart break
AFA
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
CA
But I've been there before
E4 A
Love happens all the time
C2Am
To people who aren't kind
E4 A
And heroes who are blind
G5G
Expecting perfect scripted movie scenes
E4 A
Who wants an awkward silent mystery?
FC
How were you to know?
FC
Well, how were you to know-oh-oh?
G5G
And I, I hate to see your heart break
AFA
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
CA
But I've been there before
DC2
And I, I hate to see your heart break
AFA
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
CA
But I've been there before
DG
For all the air that's in your lungs
D E4
For all the joy that is to come
A3 D
For all the things that you're alive to feel
E4 CA
Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal
FC
Oh, how were you to know? (How were you to know?)
FC
Oh, how were you to know?
G5G
And I, I hate to see your heart break
AFA
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
CA
But I've been there before
DC2
And I, I hate to see your heart break
AFA
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
CA
But I've been there before
