[G] I used to laugh when I [D] should cry.
[G] I used to let these feelings pass me [C] by.
[D] [G] But now that I believe them, [Em] I've got no [G] one to [A] leave [C] them to me.
[Cm] [G] You see, [Gm]
I traded [Am] love for what I thought was [G] being free.
So I confess my [C] loneliness.
[G] And I guess I [D] lost the best [G] of the years that I had lost.
[Em] Slipping my fingers [G] like a [C#] golden [C] breath of air.
[Cm] If I [G] had [A#] cared, I [Am] wouldn't be singing this love [G] song all year.
I know that [Bm] time [Am] cannot erase the days.

[B] From [Em] now on, [B] I'll make it [G] very clear.
[A] [C] Cause I don't [G] want to write [Gm] [Am] [D] another love song [G] of the year.
I used to [D] laugh when I used to cry.
[G] I used to let these [D] feelings pass me by.
From [Em] now on, [B] I'll make it [G] very clear.
