Chords

[Intro] F C G x2 [Verse 1]
   G                               D
My heart was way too empty and the damage done too deep

   F                 C               G
To stay here for the breaking of the day

   G                          D
My compass is in pieces and I don't know what I see

F               C         G
I'm not sure it matters anyway
[Chorus]
               D              G
'Cause what it was is gone forever

        D                  C
What it could be, God only knows

            G      G/B          C
And what it is is right here in front of me

    G       D       G
And I'm not letting go
[Verse 2]
G                           D
Just across the border from what I used to be

F                C               G
I still hear the slamming of the door

        G                         D
And the future holds a promise it doesn't have to keep

    F                 C         G
But it might not need keeping anymore
[Chorus]
               D              G
'Cause what it was is gone forever

        D                  C
What it could be, God only knows

            G     G/B            C
And what it is is right here in front of me

    G       D       G
And I'm not letting go
[Instrumental] F C G x2 D G D C G C G D G [Verse 3]
G                            D
I can hear the laughter as I make another plan

F              C                G
Set out like a fool towards the sea

G                           D
Every wave that crashes rearranges all the sand

    F            C                G
And puts another path in front of me
[Chorus]
               D              G
'Cause what it was is gone forever

        D                  C
What it could be, God only knows

            G     G/B            C
And what it is is right here in front of me

    G       D       G
And I'm not letting go

        G     G/B           C
What it is is right here in front of me

    G       D       F  C  G
And I'm not letting go
