Intro
D#maj7 A# Gm F
[Verse 1]
D#maj7
I always found it funny
A#
That your favorite part of a movie
Gm F
Was trying to guess the end before I could
D#maj7
I should have seen it coming
A#
But I got so lost in the story
Gm F
It was over long before I understood
[Pre-Chorus]
D#maj7 Gm
And I can't stop your storm from rollin' in
And wrecking things
A# F
But shelter me until it's through
D#maj7 Gm
And all this time you've had a gentle way of holding me
A# F
So could you please release me that way too?
[Chorus]
D#maj7
'Cause it's okay to say goodbye
A#
Some things live, but all things die
Gm F
And I can let go of all of the things I hoped we'd be
D#maj7
And I don't need the reasons why
A#
'Cause we both know how hard wе tried
Gm F
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need
D#maj7 A# Gm F
Brеak it carefully, break it carefully
[Verse 2]
D#maj7
Well, don't you think it's funny?
A#
That I'm asking you for your mercy
Gm F
After all the nights you asked me for a dance
D#maj7
I guess I'm kinda lucky
A#maj7 A#
That we got so close to the real thing
Gm F
When so many never even get the chance
[Pre-Chorus]
D#maj7 Gm
And I can't stop your storm from rollin' in
And wrecking things
A# F
But shelter me until it's through
D#maj7 Gm
And all this time you've had a gentle way of holding me
A# F
So could you please release me that way too?
[Chorus]
D#maj7
'Cause it's okay to say goodbye
A#
Some things live, but all things die
Gm F
And I can let go of all of the things I hoped we'd be
D#maj7
And I don't need the reasons why
A#
'Cause we both know how hard wе tried
Gm F
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need
Brеak it carefully
[Bridge]
D#maj7
I could leave all this behind me
A#
If I could remember you kindly
Gm
I could leave all this behind me
F
If I could remember you kindly
D#maj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
A#
If I could remember you kindly
Gm
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
F
If I could remember you kindly
D#maj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
A#
If I could remember you kindly
Gm
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
F
If I could remember you kindly
D#maj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
A#
If I could remember you kindly
Gm
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
F
If I could remember you kindly
D#maj7 A#
[Outro]
Gm F
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need
D#maj7 A# Gm F
Break it carefully, break it carefully
