       [Intro]
Em                                 C
 Let me tell you the saddest story
                    D
 Love lost, left broken and empty
Em                                   C
 Put my heart in the hands of another
                      D                     Em
 Set a fire to the past and watched me burn

[Interlude]
    Em 

 [Verse 1]
Em                                   C
 Somehow I guess it's better this way
                       D
 Looking back, was it all just a mistake?
Em                                          C
 Thought I could live in the arms of another
                 D                   Em
 But I guess I wasn't enough for her


 [Chorus 1]
Em                                     C    Em
 I wanna feel the love you can't live without
                                          D     Em 
 The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
 Em                            C    Em
 But I gave it all away for no return
                                            D     Em
 Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn


 [Verse 2]
Em                                         C
 I've been putting myself through your Hell
 Em                          B             E     Em
 Holding on to things that don't even matter now
                                            C
 You found your place in the arms of another
                              D                     G
 But now I see it's just the way the Earth will turn


 [Chorus 2]
 Em                                    C    Em
 I wanna feel the love you can't live without
                                          G      Em
 The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
                               C    Em
 But I gave it all away for no return
                                           D       Em
 Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn
                                            C   Em
 Can't seem to fill the void that lives in my chest
                                               G    Em
 Thought I was what you need, but I'm just second best
                                   C    Em
 I'll never give it all away again I swear
                                                     D      C
 Don't even look for a heart, you'll find there's nothing there

[Interlude C, Em, Am, D]

 [Bridge]
  Em      C       Am   Em
  (I can't take it back)

 All the years that we spent together have come to an end

 Em      C       D   Em
 (Regret is all I had)

 Not sure I would if I could do it all over again

 Em       C     Am    Em
 (I can't take it back)

 The memories, the pictures, I love you's will wither

Em       C     D    Em  D
(Regret is all I had)

 But this is the last song I'll write about you

 Em
 Forget my name
              Am
 Forget my face
                          Em
 It was all just empty space
    Am
 Deadweight; no longer part of me

[Outro]
Em C D (2x) Em
