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
