[Intro]
Em7 D Cadd9 x2
[Verse]
Em7 D Cadd9
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
N.C.
That don't bother me
Em7 D Cadd9
I can take a few tears now and then and just let em out
Cadd9 D
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though
Em7 D
Goin' on with you gone still upsets me
Cadd9
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
D
But that's not what gets me
[Chorus]
Em7
What hurts the most
Cadd9
Was being so close
Gsus2
And havin' so much to say
D
And watchin' you walk away
Em7
And never knowin'
Cadd9
What could've been
Gsus2
And not seein' that lovin' you
D Cadd9 D
Is what I was tryin' to do
[Verse]
Em7 D Cadd9
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
N.C.
But I'm doin' it
Em7 D Cadd9
It's hard to force that smile when I see your friends and I'm alone
N.C.
Still harder
Cadd9 D
Gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
Em7 D
But I know if I could do it over
Cadd9
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
D
That I left unspoken
[Chorus]
Em7
What hurts the most
Cadd9
Was being so close
Gsus2
And havin' so much to say
D
And watchin' you walk away
Em7
And never knowin'
Cadd9
What could've been
Gsus2
And not seein' that lovin' you
D Cadd9 D
Is what I was tryin' to do
[Solo]
Em7 Gsus4 Cadd9 D x2
[Chorus]
Em7
What hurts the most
Cadd9
Was being so close
Gsus2
And havin' so much to say
D
And watchin' you walk away
Em7
And never knowin'
Cadd9
What could've been
Gsus2
And not seein' that lovin' you
D Cadd9 D
Is what I was tryin' to do
N.C.
That's what I was tryin' to do
[Outro]
Em7 D Cadd9 x2
