[Intro] Fm Bb Eb Ab x2 [Verse 1]
Eb                 Bb
Now we reached the end

  Cm          Ab
I ran the marathon

    Eb            Bb
The road had many bends

       Fm            Cm
But we knew that all along

  Eb               Bb
I think it made me stronger

    Fm             Ab
But I would rather not

  Eb           Bb                Ab
Betray myself, just to keep your love at any cost
[Pre-Chorus]
    Fm        Ab               Cm
And it's most tempting to give in

         Bb              Fm
When you hear the firin' shots

            Ab                 Cm
When you're steps from winning back

        Bb            Fm     (Ab) Cm        Bb
All the happiness you lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost

Fm     (Ab) Cm        Bb
Lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost
[Chorus]
     Fm             Bb         Eb          Ab
With every careless action you let me slip away

   Fm                 Bb          Eb            Ab
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed

    Fm                 Bb         Eb                Ab
You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe

   Fm                 Bb          Eb            Ab
If you just bought mе flowers, maybe I would've stayеd
[Post-Chorus]
   Eb   Bb       Ab
Maybe I would've stayed

   Eb   Bb       Ab
Maybe I would've stayed
[Verse 2]
    Eb               Bb
The seeds we planted grew

    Cm             Ab
But not like roses do

   Eb                 Bb
We had the thorns and leaves

        Fm               Cm
But the buds, they never bloomed

    Eb            Bb
And now my future gleams

     Fm              Ab
With colors bold and bright

     Eb                      Bb
In a home that's filled with love and hope

      Ab
And a life that just feels right
[Pre-Chorus]
    Fm        (Ab)             Cm
And it's most tempting to give in

            Bb            Fm
When you're almost at the top

            (Ab)               Cm
When you're steps from winning back

        Bb            Fm     (Ab) Cm       Bb
All the happiness you lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost

Fm     (Ab) Cm       Bb
Lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost
[Chorus]
     Fm             Bb         Eb          Ab
With every careless action you let me slip away

   Fm                 Bb          Eb            Ab
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed

    Fm                 Bb         Eb                Ab
You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe

   Fm                 Bb          Eb            Ab
If you just bought mе flowers, maybe I would've stayеd
[Post-Chorus]
   Eb   Bb       Ab
Maybe I would've stayed

   Eb   Bb       Ab
Maybe I would've stayed

  Eb            Bb      Ab
I wouldn't have walked away

  Eb            Bb      Ab
I wouldn't have walked away
[Bridge]
    Fm
And there's no heartbreak left to feel

   Cm              Bb
It happened years ago

  Fm
After you made your choices

     Cm            Bb
I melted away like snow

       Fm             Ab
'Cause you like lying to yourself

    Cm             Bb
And now I'll never know

     Fm
What parts of your love were for real

    Cm                  Bb
And what parts were for show
[Chorus]
     Fm             Bb         Eb          Ab
With every careless action you let me slip away

   Fm                 Bb          Eb            Ab
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed

    Fm                 Bb         Eb                Ab
You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe

   Fm                 Bb          Eb            Ab
If you just bought mе flowers, maybe I would've stayеd
[Post-Chorus]
   Eb   Bb       Ab
Maybe I would've stayed

   Eb   Bb       Ab
Maybe I would've stayed

  Eb            Bb      Ab
I wouldn't have walked away

  Eb            Bb      Ab
I wouldn't have walked away
