Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

F

I saw you dancing in a crowded room

G

You look so happy when I’m not with you

Am

But then you saw me, caught you by surprise

F

A single teardrop falling from your eye

Verse 2

F

I don’t know why I run away

G

I’ll make you cry when I run away

Am

You could’ve asked me why I broke your heart

F

You could’ve told me that you fell apart

Chorus

F

But you walked past me like I wasn’t there

G

And just pretended like you didn’t care

Am

So I made you think that I would always stay

F

I said some things that I should never say

F

Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine

G

And now you won’t love me for a second time

Am

You don’t believe a word I say, no, no

F

We never talked, it’s not too late now

Verse 3

F

I saw you dancing in a crowded room

G

You look so happy when I’m not with you

Am

But then you saw me, caught you by surprise

F

A single teardrop falling from your eye

Chorus

F

But you walked past me like I wasn’t there

G

And just pretended like you didn’t care

Am

So I made you think that I would always stay

F

I said some things that I should never say

F

Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine

G

And now you won’t love me for a second time

Am

You don’t believe a word I say, no, no

F

We never talked, it’s not too late now

Bridge

F

Take me back ’cause I wanna stay

G

Save your tears for another

Am

Save your tears for another day

F

Save your tears for another day

Chorus

F

So I made you think that I would always stay

G

I said some things that I should never say

Am

Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine

F

And now you won’t love me for a second time

F

You don’t believe a word I say, no, no

G

We never talked, it’s not too late now

Am

Save your tears for another

F

Save your tears for another day
