Em D Cadd9 2x
[Verse]
Em7 D Cadd9
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house,
D
That don't bother me,
Em7 D C
I can take a few tears now and then and just let em out,
D Cadd9
I'm not afraid to cry every once in awhile,
D Em7
even though goin on with you gone, still upsets me,
Cadd9
there are days every now and again, I pretend I'm ok,
D
But that's a not what gets me
[Chorus]
Em D Cadd9
What hurts the most, was being so close,
G C D
and having so much to say, and watching you walk away,
Em D Cadd9
And never knowin', what could've been,
G Dsus4 D Em7 D Cadd9
And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do
[Verse]
Em7 D Cadd9
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin you everywhere I go,
D
But I'm doin' it,
Em7 D Cadd9
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone,
D
Still harder,
Cadd9 D
gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret,
Em7 D Cadd9
But I know if I could do it over, I would trade, give away
D
all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken
[Chorus]
Em D Cadd9
What hurts the most, is being so close,
G C D
and having so much to say, and watching you walk away,
Em D Cadd9
And never knowin', what could've been,
G Dsus4 D C D C
And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do
[Instrumental]
Hey
Em D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
[Chorus]
Em D Cadd9
What hurts the most, was being so close,
G C D D#m Em
and having so much to say,(to say) and watching you walk away,
Em D Cadd9
And never knowin', what could've been,
G C D G Cadd9
And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do,
D Em7 D Cadd9 Em7 D Cadd9
And not seein that lovin you, That's what I was tryin to do.

version 8
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1st Fret
Chords are relative to the capo. (:
[Intro]
Ok, so this song is in 4/4 which means that for the 2nd part of the intro,
you'll play one measure of Em and D, then two measures of C ...
e|--------------------| R
B|--------------------| followed by 3 chords: Em, D, C. E
G|--------------------| P
D|--------------------| So technically it'd be ... E
A|--0h2h3-2p0---------| A
E|------------3-0-----| Em (2,3,4), D (2,3,4), C (2,3,4), C(2,3,4) T
Then before going onto the verse, play the riff (the tab bit before the chords)
at the start again... So the intro is riff, chords, riff, chords riff.
[Verse 1]
Em D C
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me,
Em D C
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out,

even though going strong with you gone still upsets me,

There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok,

But that's not what gets me.
