Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Piano chords):, /, /, (ring)

 If it's o-o-kay

 I'll leave the bed light on

 And place your water glass where i-it belo-ngs

 And if it's a-al-right

 I'll lie awake at night

 Pre-tending I am curled up at your side

[Guitar, strings and light percussion joins in, ring all chords]

 See I'm circling in these pa-a-tterns

 Living out of memori-i-ies

 I'm still a long way from accepting it

 That there's just no you-u and me

[More percussion and strings joins in]

 But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me

Maybe I'll survi-ive

 So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home

 Like you've done a million ti-imes

 And if it's a-al-right

 I'll still-ll be loving you

[[Piano appegio from Bbm, guitar rings the same chords]

 'cause I can't break it to my-y hea-a-art

[Drums and lead guitar appegio joins in]

 Is it ju-ust me

 Did I commit a cri-ime

 I won't believe that loving you-u is just a waste of time

 Or was it in my he-e-ead

 I'm reading into things that you neve-er said

[[Guitar chord and piano appegio, ring all chords]

 'cause I still don't have the a-answers

 To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-out

 I wanna think it's something that I did

 So I can turn it back a-round

[Backup joins in on 'stil-ll']

 But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me

Maybe I'll survi-ive

 So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home

 Like you've done a million ti-imes

 And if it's a-al-right

 I'll still-ll be loving you

[Backup drops out]

 'cause I can't break it to my-y hea-a-art

[Piano appegio and backup harmony join in]

And nothing will co-ome between u-u-s

I wanna convi-ince myself we're per-fect in every single way

[The Fm to F# transition for guitar ios d,u,d, mute, then to F# (ring)]

 As long as I can keep the truth awa-ay from my-y heart

 Oh 'cause I can-n't break it to my hea-a-a-art

 O-o-o-o-oh

[On 'still', only strings appegio and bass guitar]

 'cause I still don't have the a-answers

 To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-o-out

 I wanna think it's something that I did

[Percussion build-up on 'turn']

 So I can turn it back a-round

[Piano, guitar chords and backups rejoin on 'still-ll']

 But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me

Maybe I'll survi-ive

 So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home

 Like you've done a million ti-imes

 And if it's a-al-right

 I'll still-ll be loving you

[Piano, guitar chords and backups rejoin on 'still-ll']

 But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me

Maybe I'll survi-ive

 So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home

 Like you've done a million ti-imes

 And if it's a-al-right

 I'll still-ll be loving you

 And if it's a-al-right

 I'll stil-ll be lo-ovin-ng you

[[Piano appegio from Bbm, guitar rings the same chords]

 'cause I can't break it to my-y hea-a-art

 I can't break it to my-y-y-y hea-a-art

 O-o-o-o-oh
