[A]Long hours and a [E]few dying flowers
But you [F#m]never seem to stick [D]around [D]
[A]How could you let [E]something so good
Go to [F#m]waste and bleed the colours [D]out?
[chorus]
You [F#m]don’t know what you got ’til it’s [E]gone
Know when it’s right ’til it’s wrong [C#m]
In search of perfect when you [D]had it with you all along
[F#m]You broke her heart down with ease [E]
Now I’m picking up every piece [C#m]
You must be so hard to [D]please
[chorus]
I wish I could [A]say
[E]”Thank you for all the [F#m]mistakes
[D]Thank you for all of the [A]pain” [E]
I guess [F#m]somebody else’s loss is [D]another’s gain
I’m saying [F#m]thank you to the one who let her [E]get [D]away
[A]Away

You let [F#m]another come and take your place [D]

Now I’m picking up every piece [C#m]
You must be so hard to [D]please
[chorus]
I wish I could [A]say
