[C]I know I was a fool to [Am]think that you would wait for [Em]me.
Why did I let you [D]go?

Your face light up my [D]phone.


I don’t [C]know what the future will be [B]holding.
[Em]All I know is I want to be holding [D]you.


No, I didn’t think I needed your love
But, you’re the only one that I’ve been thinking of
I’ll do anything to get back your love
Say that you want me, say that you want me back

Just like we were before [Am] [Bm] [Em]
Before I quit, I lost my grip, I let you slip
Out into the night, and watched you close the door [Am] [Bm]
