What Once Was

[First Part]

G#m                               
I guess I knew this would happen 
     D#m
to you
C#               G#m             
Inside I did, but I refused to 
            D#m
know the truth
C#                G#m            
I'm heading back inside to sit 
            D#m
along with you
C#                      G#m  D#m
I think I know what's wrong
       C#


G#m                                
My friends put on their bravest 
D#m
face
C#                           G#m
Their tails between their legs
                       D#m
Something's out of place
C#                              G#m
I bet their mothers let them know
                     D#m
What I'm about to face
C#                      G#m  D#m  C#
Keep your mouth zipped, son

[Chorus]

B                         F#
Baby I've been there before
              D#m             
I was at the point where all I 
         G#m   C#     B
really wanted was someone
                         F#
And now I'm still hanging on
             D#m              G#m
I was at the end of every tether 
waiting
C#              G#m
For what once was

[Second Part]

G#m                          D#m
Tell me all the important stuff
C#                   G#m
What's your favorite color
                  D#m
What makes you so tough?
C#            G#m                
Please don't let go when you've 
         D#m
had enough
C#          G#m  D#m   C#
I'm on my knees

[Chorus]

B                        F#
Baby I've been there before
              D#m             
I was at the point where all I 
         G#m   C#     B
really wanted was someone
                          F#
And now I'm still hanging on
            D#m                
I was at the end of every tether 
G#m
waiting
C#             G#m
For what once was
