Verse 1:
G                 C
    Don't speak, seal your lips, 
D            D/F#    Em
Please don't say a word
   Am7          G/B          C                D
Maybe I won't remember the words I have not heard
G                 C                 
    I see that you're in love, 
   D         D/F#    Em
I know it's not with me
   Am7                 G/B      C        D
But I don't want the truth to haunt my memory


Prechorus:
Em                 Em(maj7)            Em6     
   It's never too late to relight the fire
                     Em/Db
It's never stopped burning for me
      C               G            D
The flame, it never died inside of me


Chorus:
G                C            G/B          C       D
     How is it now that I can tell you I love you
G                    C                 G/B      C       D
     How is it only now that it's too late 
Em              E7
     What can I do?
                 Am      G/B     C
The love that we had is torn in two
                 G/B                     D
So you take the smiles from all of our years, 
                G
I'll take the tears

Verse 2:
G                C               
    I sit and reminisce 
     D       D/F#       Em
of times that we once shared
     Am7              G/B        C               D
You gave me more than love but never thought I cared
G                     C                  
    My feelings were all for you 
    D       D/F#    Em
although it didn't show
   Am7          G/B     C              D
I only told you on the day you let me go


Prechorus:
Em                 Em(maj7)            Em6     
   It's never too late to relight the fire
                     Em/Db
It's never stopped burning for me
      C               G            D
The flame, it never died inside of me


Chorus:
G                C            G/B          C       D
     How is it now that I can tell you I love you
G                    C                 G/B      C       D
     How is it only now that it's too late 
Em              E7
     What can I do?
                 Am      G/B     C
The love that we had is torn in two
                 G/B                     D

I'll take the tears



Bridge:
F           C            G              Am
   Now I realize that you're no longer mine
F            C              E                 Am      G
   But I'm hoping that the pain will ease in time
F                     C     G/B               Am
   Although you're leaving, I won't say goodbye
           F                         G       
Because I know you're here with me inside


Chorus:
G                C            G/B          C       D
     How is it now that I can tell you I love you
G                    C                 G/B      C       D
     How is it only now that it's too late 
Em              E7
     What can I do?
                 Am      G/B     C
The love that we had is torn in two
                 G/B                     D
So you take the smiles from all of our years, 
                G
I'll take the tears
