[F] [Gm] Here we go.
I, [A]
I, I thought [F] sometime alone was [C] what we really needed.
You said this [F] time would hurt more than it helps, [G] but I [C] couldn't [Am] see that.
I thought it was [F] the end of a [Em] beautiful story.
[Am] And so [Dm] I left the one I love at home to [E] be alone.
And [C] I tried and [Dm] found out this one [F] thing [G] is true.
[C] That I'm nothing without [Dm] you.
I know better now [Gm] and I've had a change [C] of heart.
I'd rather [F] have bad times with you [Em] than good [G] times with [Am] someone else.
I'd [F] rather be beside you in the [Dm] storm [Em] than safe and warm [Gm] by [C] myself.
I'd rather have hard times [B] together [E] than to [Am] have [G] it easy [D] apart.
[Dm] I'd [Em] rather [F] have the one [G] who [C] holds my heart.
[Dm]
[Em] [G] And [F] then I met someone and thought she could [Em] replace you.
We got along [F] just fine, but wasted time [G] because she [Am] was not you.
We had a [F] lot of fun, [Am] though we knew [Em] we were faking.
[Am] Love [Dm] was not addressed without connection.
Still [E] don't lie is all right.
[Am] So I'm here cause I [Dm] found this one thing [G] is true.
[C] That I'm nothing [Dm] without you.
I know better now [Gm] and I've had a [C] change of heart.
I'd rather have bad [F] times with you [Em] than good [D] times with [Am] someone else.
