[Intro] G C/G G C/G [Verse 1]
 G                      C/G
Hanging by a thread, connecting me to you

    G                       C/G
To who I've always been, to all we said we'd do

   G                C/G
A fine thread, not tough enough to bear

    D/F#        C/G
The weight of desire and despair

   G           C/G
Untended, the fibres start to fray

    D/F#           C/G                 D
The long years of working as one were just washed away
[Chorus]
       C        D
Well, maybe it was just our time

    Bm         Em
Forgive me, remember that I'm

   C              D
A good man, just not good enough

       Bm        Em
Don't hate me, I was just in love

     C2                  D7
And hanging by a thread
G [Verse 2]
 G                          C/G
Hold me in your arms, where everything made sense

    G                                C/G
Where I knew right from wrong, could live with restlessness

   G          C/G
All my life I won't forget the pain

   D/F#                                   C/G
In your eyes. I'm still scrubbing at the stain

 G                 C/G
Of this mess. Wish you could understand

     D/F#         C/G                      D
The madness that grabbed at my throat and clung to my hands
[Chorus]
       C        D
Well, maybe it was just our time

    Bm         Em
Forgive me, remember that I'm

   C              D
A good man, just not good enough

       Bm        Em
Don't hate me, I was just in love

     C2                   D7
And caught in my own net
[Verse 3]
 G
Hanging, left spinning in the wind

 C/G
Sliding, you grab at anything

D/F#                  C/G               D
Just lost our way, we just lost our way

     G
You try to be all things to all men

    C/G
And wind up with a love that's spread too thin

D/F#                   C/G                       D
Just lost our way. The walls that we built were just washed away
[Chorus]
       C        D
Well, maybe it was just our time

    Bm         Em
Forgive me, remember that I'm

   C              D
A good man, just not good enough

       Bm        Em
Don't hate me, I was just in love

     C2                  D7
And hanging by a thread
[Outro] G C
   G
I don't know why I said

     C
I'm not in love with you
