Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Piano chords):, /, /, (ring)

If it's o-o-kay

I'll leave the bed light on

And place your water glass where i-it belo-ngs

And if it's a-al-right

I'll lie awake at night

Pre-tending I am curled up at your side

[Guitar, strings and light percussion joins in, ring all chords]

See I'm circling in these pa-a-tterns

Living out of memori-i-ies

I'm still a long way from accepting it

That there's just no you-u and me

[More percussion and strings joins in]

But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me

Maybe I'll survi-ive

So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home

Like you've done a million ti-imes

And if it's a-al-right

I'll still-ll be loving you

[[Piano appegio from Bbm, guitar rings the same chords]

'cause I can't break it to my-y hea-a-art

[Drums and lead guitar appegio joins in]

Is it ju-ust me

Did I commit a cri-ime

I won't believe that loving you-u is just a waste of time

Or was it in my he-e-ead

I'm reading into things that you neve-er said

[[Guitar chord and piano appegio, ring all chords]

'cause I still don't have the a-answers

To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-out

I wanna think it's something that I did

So I can turn it back a-round

[Backup joins in on 'stil-ll']

But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me

Maybe I'll survi-ive

So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home

Like you've done a million ti-imes

And if it's a-al-right

I'll still-ll be loving you

[Backup drops out]

'cause I can't break it to my-y hea-a-art

[Piano appegio and backup harmony join in]

And nothing will co-ome between u-u-s

I wanna convi-ince myself we're per-fect in every single way

[The Fm to F# transition for guitar ios d,u,d, mute, then to F# (ring)]

As long as I can keep the truth awa-ay from my-y heart

Oh 'cause I can-n't break it to my hea-a-a-art

O-o-o-o-oh

[On 'still', only strings appegio and bass guitar]

'cause I still don't have the a-answers

To why we couldn't wo-ork it o-o-out

I wanna think it's something that I did

[Percussion build-up on 'turn']

So I can turn it back a-round

[Piano, guitar chords and backups rejoin on 'still-ll']

But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me

Maybe I'll survi-ive

So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home

Like you've done a million ti-imes

And if it's a-al-right

I'll still-ll be loving you

[Piano, guitar chords and backups rejoin on 'still-ll']

But if I still-ll believe you lo-ove me

Maybe I'll survi-ive

So I tell-ll myself you're co-ming home

Like you've done a million ti-imes

And if it's a-al-right

I'll still-ll be loving you

And if it's a-al-right

I'll stil-ll be lo-ovin-ng you

[[Piano appegio from Bbm, guitar rings the same chords]

'cause I can't break it to my-y hea-a-art

I can't break it to my-y-y-y hea-a-art

O-o-o-o-oh
