Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

[Em]I look up from the ground to see [C]your sad and teary eyes You look [G]away from me and I see there’s [Bm]something you’re trying to hide And [Em]I, reach for your hand but it’s [C]cold, you pull away again And I, [G]wonder, what’s on [Bm]your mind-ind-ind

[C]And then you say to me [Em]“you made a dumb mistake” [D]You start to tremble and your [D]voice begins to break You say the [C]cigarettes on the counter weren’t [Em]your friends, They were my mates, and I [D]feel the colour draining from my [D]face And my friends said…

[Em]I know you love her but it’s [C]over mate, [G]it doesn’t matter, put [D]the phone away [Em]It’s never easy to [C]walk away, but let her [G]go oh [D]oh oh, it’ll be alright.

[Em]So I asked to look back at all the [C]messages you’d sent And I [G]know it wasn’t right but it [Bm]was fucking with my head [Em]And everything deleted like the [C]past, yeah it was gone And [G]when I touched your face I [Bm]could tell you’re moving on

[C]But it’s not the fact that [Em]you kissed him yesterday It’s the [D]feeling of betrayal, that I [D]just can’t seem to shake And [C]everything I know tells me [Em]that I should walk away But I [D]just want to [D]stay, and my friends said…

[Em]I know you love her but it’s [C]over mate, [G]it doesn’t matter, put [D]the phone away [Em]It’s never easy to [C]walk away, but let her [G]go oh [D]oh oh, it’ll be okay [Em]It’s gonna hurt for a [C]bit of time, [G]so, bottoms up, let’s [D]forget tonight [Em]You’ll find another and [C]you’ll be just fine, let her [G]go oh oh [D]oh

But [Em]nothing [C]heals, the [G]past like [D]time [Em]and they can’t [C]steal, the [G]love you’re born to [D]find But [Em]nothing [C]heals, the [G]past like [D]time [Em]And they can’t [C]steal, the [G]love you’re born to [D]find

It’ll be [Em]alright, [C]it’ll be [G]alright [D] It’ll be [Em]alright, [C]it’ll be [G]alright [D] It’ll be [Em]alright..
