[Intro] G Em C [Verse]
G                                         Em
  I've been lost inside empty space in my heart

         C
And some things they don't change, no

G                                           Em
  How it hurts me and how it's tearin' me apart

       C
And it just goes on and on
[Bridge]
        Em
Can you read my mind

       C               D
Take a good look at my face

          Em
Could you take the time

        C                B
Just to stand here in my place
[Chorus]
G                      D/F#           Am       D/F#
  What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye

G                        D/F#                C            D
  Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, look inside

        Em            C      D
Can you read my mind... whoa whoa
[Verse]
G                                              Em
  When I hear your name, feels so cold deep inside

           C
Still it's hard to explain, oh

G                                                         Em
  What your love meant to me, they say time will heal the pain

       C
But it just goes on forever
[Bridge]
        Em
Can you read my mind

         C                  D
Have you closed the door on love

        Em
Can you be so blind

        C                   B
Did you think I'd just give up
[Chorus]
G                      D/F#           Am       D/F#
  What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye

G                        D/F#                C          D
  Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry

G                      D              Am       D
  What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye

G                         D                C
  Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside

       D
And it never fades awayyyyyy
[Instrumental]
G        Em   C
                Fade away
G Em C [Bridge]
Am                             D
  Time can't erase the reasons why

Am                          C
  Count my mistakes and the heartaches

D                  G
Since you said goodbye
[Chorus]
                       D/F#           Am       D/F#
  What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye

G                         D/F#               C          D
  Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry

G                      D              Am       D
  What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye

G                         D                C
  Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside

       D
And it never fades awayyyyyy
[Outro]
G        Em   C
              Never fades away

G        Em   C
              No it don't fade away
G Em C
G        Em   C
