Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

i tried to paint you a picture, the colors were all wrong

black and white didn't fit ya, and all along

you were shaded with patience, and strokes of everything

that i need just to make it, but i can see that

Pre-chorus

Lord knows i failed you time and again

but you and me are alright

Chorus

we won't say our goodbyes, you know it's better that way

we won't break we won't die, it's just a moment of change

all we are, all we are, is everything thats right

all we need, all we need, a lover's alibi

Verse 2

same chords as Verse 1):

i walked a minute in your shoes, they never would have fit

i figured there's nothing to lose, i need to get

some perspective on these words, before i write them down

you're an island and my ship has run aground

Refrain

and every single day that i can breathe

you change my philosophy

i'm never gonna let you pass me by

the rest of the song are the chorus chords. have fun!
