[Verse 1]
Bm              A/C#       A                     G5
I've put it all behind me, nothing left to do or doubt

Em   Bm  A
Some may say

Bm              A/C#       A                     G5
But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud

Em   Bm  A
That comes my way

Bm              A/C#       A       G5
Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain

Em   Bm  A
No  choice I feel

Bm              A/C#       A           G5
Love is hard to measure, hidden in the rain

Em     Bm       A/C#
That's why you'll find me
[Chorus]
D        Bm              Em7
Here all alone and still wondering why

G                    A/C#
Waitin inside for the cold to get colder

D        Bm              Em7
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time

G                 A/C#         A6  Bm
Hopin to fly cause it's almost over now

[Mandolin solo]

[Slide Guitar Solo] Bm A/C# A G5 Em Bm A D [Verse 2]
Bm              A/C#       A                     G5
People come together, people go their own way

Em   Bm  A
Love conquers few

Bm              A/C#       A                     G5
And I'll do whatever I'll say what I need to say

Em     Bm       A/C#
Just not for you
[Chorus]
D        Bm              Em7
How many days should I smile with a frown?

G                    A/C#
'Cos you're not around with the sun on your shoulders

D        Bm              Em7
And how many nights must I wake up alone

G                 A/C#         A6  Bm
And know in my soul that it's almost over now?
[Slide Guitar Solo] Bm A/C# A G5 Em Bm A D [Outro]
Bm              A/C#
Love is like a paper airplane

A                     G5
Flyin in the folded dent [pause]

Em     Bm       A/C#
Ridin high dippin low

Bm              A/C#
But innocence is fair game

A               G        D
I'm hopin I can hold it in

Em     Bm       A/C#
Our love will die I know
D
