C G [Verse] C G C G Wish I could say that I didn't know Am F G If we held on too tight or just let it all go C G Am Thinking maybe we'd profit from time spent alone G C G Ohh, we must have been crazy back then [Verse] Am C G And I remember the words you said as you left Am F G "What you've done I could never forgive or forget" C G Am G But inside I was hoping, despite all your regret C G F That maybe we'd finish as friends [Chorus] E F I guess it's all true, you know what they say C G F You don't know what you've got 'till you've thrown it away E F When nothing is ventured, nothing is gained C G F But some things cannot be so easily explained [Verse] C G C G Looking back now it's so easy to see Am F G If I had just stood by you and you'd just stood by me C G Am G Together we'd weather all life's stormy seas C G With each other as a captain and crew [Verse] Am C G And with all of that time we've invested in love Am F G You might have thought we could rise above all of this stuff C G Am G But what we got in return wasn't nearly enough C G F To keep us from singing the blues [Chorus] E F I guess it's all true, you know what they say C G F You don't know what you've got 'till you've thrown it away E F When nothing is ventured, nothing is gained C G F But some things cannot be so easily explained [Verse] C G C G They say all wounds are healed by the graces of time Am F G And that lonely is only a state of mind C G Am G Still I wish you were walking right here by my side C F To have and to hold 'till the day that I die [Chorus] E F I guess it's all true, you know what they say C G F Sometimes the best thing to do is just to walk away E F When nothing is ventured, nothing is gained C G F But some things cannot be so easily explained [Outro] Am G C F x3 C G Am
