Verse 1

F

I fell by the wayside like everyone else

G Am

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you but I was just kidding myself

F

Our every moment, I start to replace

G Am

’Cause now that they’re gone, all I hear are the words that I needed to say

Verse 2

F

When you hurt under the surface like troubled water running cold

G Am

Well, time can heal but this won’t, so I wish I would’ve told you

F

Before you go, was there something I could’ve said to make your heart beat better?

G Am

If only I’d have known you had a storm to weather

Chorus

F

So, before you go, was there something I could’ve said to make it all stop hurting?

G Am

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless

F

So, before you go, was there something I could’ve said to make your heart beat better?

G Am

If only I’d have known you had a storm to weather

Verse 3

F

So, before you go, was there something I could’ve said to make your heart beat better?
