G G C G Em Em G C C C C
[Verse 1]
G C G
This motel room don't feel so good
Em D C
At least not the way I thought it would
G C G
And your footsteps comin' down the hall
Em D C
Sound so big but feel so small
Am C G
I never thought that I would be this kind
C D
Is it too late for me to change my mind?
[Chorus]
C
Because there's just some things you can't take back
G
Like hurtin' the one you already have
C Am G
Throw it all away for a kiss filled with regret
C
It's like runnin' for the edge and thinkin' you'll fly
G
Knowin' damn well that it's suicide
Am C Em
And there ain't no grey, only white and black
C D G G C G Em Em G C C C C
And there's just some things you can't take back
[Verse 2]
G C G
You know there ain't much more to life at all
Em D C
Than memories hanging on a wall
G C G
And that flashin' motel TV glow
Em D C
Is tellin' me that it's time to go
Am C G
I don't know just who we think we are
C D
And I keep wond'rin' how we got this far
[Chorus]
C
'Cause there's just some things you can't take back
G
Like hurtin' the one you already have
C Am G
Throw it all away for a kiss filled with regret
C
It's like runnin' for the edge and thinkin' you'll fly
G
Knowin' damn well that it's suicide
Am C Em
And there ain't no grey, only white and black
C D G
And there's just some things you can't take back
[Bridge]
C
We should just slow down
G
And be honest with ourselves
C
And think of why we're here
G D
Instead of home with someone else
C
Because if we had the chance
G
To do it all again
Am Em C
You know I'd choose her
Am C Em
I'd choose him
[Chorus]
C
And there's just some things you can't take back
G
Like hurtin' the one you already have
C Am G
Throw it all away for a kiss filled with regret
C
It's like runnin' for the edge and thinkin' you'll fly
G
Knowin' damn well that it's suicide
Am C Em
Baby, please don't look at me like that
C D G
'Cause there's just some things you can't take back
C D G G C G Em Em G C C C C
Yeah there's just some things I can't take back
