[Verse 1]
   G
Oh I don't wanna go with her
        C
But I'm sad to see her go
D
Her mind's so far away
        C                     G
But I'd still like a hand to hold
      G
There are some things I can
C
 Never un-know
    D
The way you wrote my name
        C                     G
And the way you changed your own

[Chorus]
     C
I've wanted to write you a song for so long
    G
But I couldn't say what I knew all along
C
 Tried to catch it before it had gone
G                   D                    G
Tried to catch it before it had gone all wrong

[Verse 2]
G
I had a thought
   C
Or was it a memory?
 D
About the way it's not
    C                   G
And it was supposed to be
   G
Do I hear the train whistlin'
          C
Or is the kettle just callin' me?
D
Either way I'm listening
    C                      G
For where I'm supposed to be

[Bridge]
      D
Did I leave it up high
        C                         G
In some forgotten cupboard in the kitchen?
         D
I'm just buying some time
       C                      G
In the house that I no longer live in
        D
Part of me is just tryin'
   C                           G
To find the part of you that's missin'

[Chorus]
     C
I've wanted to write you a song for so long
   G
So I could keep playin' along
C
 Tried to catch it before it had gone
G                   D                    G
Tried to catch it before it had gone all wrong
