[Opening]
[E]
[E]First things first, [E]we start the scene in reverse
All of the [C#m]lines rehearsed, disappeared [A]from my [B]mind
[E]When things got loud, one of us [E]running out
I should’ve [C#m]turned around, but I had [A]too much [B]pride
[section 2]
[E]No time for goodbyes, [E]didn’t get to apologize
[C#m]Pieces of a clock that lies [B]broken
[chorus]
If I could [E]take us back, if I could [C#m]just do that
And [A]write in every empty, space the words “I love you” in replace
Then [B]maybe time would not erase me, if you could [E]only know I never [C#m]let you go
[A]And the words I most regret are the ones I never meant to [B]leave. Unsaid Emily
[section 3]
[E]Silent days, [E]mysteries and mistakes, who’d be the [C#m]first to break?
I guess we’re [A]alike that [B]way
[section 4]
[E]He said, she said, [E]conversations in my head
And [C#m]that’s just where they’re gonna stay [B]forever
[chorus]
If I could [E]take us back, if I could [C#m]just do that
And [A]write in every empty space the words “I love you” in replace
Then [B]maybe time would not erase me, if you could [E]only know I never [C#m]let you go
[A]And the words I most regret are, the ones I never meant to [B]leave. Unsaid Emily
[Closing]
[E]
[C#m][B]Ah [A]ah ah, [C#m][B]ah [A]ah ah
[chorus]
If I could [E]take us back, if I could [C#m]just do that
And [A]write in every empty space the words “I love you” in replace
Then [B]maybe time would not erase me, if you could [E]only know I never [C#m]let you go
[A]And the words I most regret are, the ones I never meant to [B]leave. Unsaid Emily
