[E] [Em] Let me tell you the saddest [C] story
Love lost, [D] left broken and empty
[Em] Put my heart in the hands of [C] another
Set a fire [D] to the past and watch [Em] me Fly
Somehow
[Bm] [Em]
I guess it's better this [C] way
Looking back [Em] was it all just a mistake
Thought I could live in the arms of another
[C] But I guess [G] I wasn't enough for her
[Em]
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
The one that Johnny [G] Cash wrote all his songs [Em]
about
But I gave it all away for no return
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn
I've been putting [G] myself through your hell
Holding on to [B] things that don't even matter [Em]
now
Found your place in [G] the arms of another
But now I see it's just the way the earth will turn
[Em] I wanna feel the love you can't live without
The one that Johnny [G] Cash wrote all his songs [Em] about
But I gave it all away for no return
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll [G] never [Em] learn
Can't seem to fill the void that lives in my chest
Thought I was what you need but [G] I'm just second [Em] best
I'll never give it all away again, I swear
Don't even look for a heart, you'll find there's nothing there
[G]
[Em] [C] I can't change my [Em] mind, [G]
[Em] see [C] you're all I have
[Em] [G]
I'll pretend, [Em] [C] I'll try to take it back
[Em] But [G] the truth of life is nowhere to [Em] be found
See [C] you're all I [Em] have
[G]
Forget my [Em] name, [G]
forget my [C] face
[Em] It was all just empty space
[G]
That [C] [E] away, no longer part of [Em] me
