AEm7G
[Verse 1]
AEm7
An empty room can be so deafening,
GA
The silence makes you wanna scream, It drives you crazy.
Em7
I chased away the shadows of your name,
G
And burned the picture in a frame, But it couldn't save me.
BmGD
And how could we quit something we never even tried,
BmGE
Well you still can't tell me why.
[Chorus]
GD
We built it up,
A
To watch it fall.
BmG
Like we meant nothing at all.
DA
I gave and gave the best of me, But couldn't give you what you need.
Em7Bm
You walked away,
D
You stole my life,
EG
Just to find what you're looking for.
BmG
But no matter how I try,
A
I can't hate you anymore.
Em7G
...I can't hate you anymore.
[Verse 2]
AEm7
Your not the person that you used to be,
G
The one I want who wanted me,
A
And that's a shame but,
Em7
There's only so many tears that you can cry.
G
Before it drains the light right from your eyes,
And I can't go on that way.
BmGD
And so I'm letting go of everything we were,
BmGE
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
[Chorus]
GD
We built it up,
A
To watch it fall.
BmG
Like we meant nothing at all.
DA
I gave and gave the best of me, But couldn't give you what you need.
Em7Bm
You walked away,
D
You stole my life,
EG
Just to find what you're looking for.
BmG
But no matter how I try,
A
I can't hate you anymore.
[Instrumental]
GDA
[Bridge]
BmGD
Sometimes you hold so tight, It slips right through your hands.
BmGE
Will I ever understand?
[Chorus/Outro]
GD
We built it up,
A
To watch it fall.
BmG
Like we meant nothing at all.
DA
I gave and gave the best of me, But couldn't give you what you need.
Em7Bm
You walked away,
D
You stole my life,
EG
Just to find what you're looking for.
BmG
But no matter how I try,
A
I can't hate you anymore.
GD
We built it up,
A
To watch it fall.
BmG
Like we meant nothing at all.
DA
I gave and gave the best of me, But couldn't give you what you need.
Em7Bm
You walked away,
D
You stole my life,
EG
Just to find what you're looking for.
BmG
But no matter how I try,
A
I can't hate you anymore.
