D                  
People never change,

Bm                           
They seem to stay the same.

C                            
They wear different clothes,

D                       
But play the same games.

D
Many different ways

Bm
To say the same thing.

C
Searchin' for the right words,

D
The ones that would make you stay.

Em              D
Exchanging the way things were

         C                   A7
For the way that they should be, yeah.

     Em
And choosing these words

    D
Is saying to her,

      D
The things that she never heard

    (D)            
But always deserved.

  D
I figured what it is all about.

     Bm
It's you that I could never live without.

       C
You're everything,

    A7*
The air that I breathe.

D
Stupid not to know it all along,

    Bm
And everything I ever did was wrong.

C                       A7*
Sadly it's too late for sorry.

D                          
Oh I'm not even really sure

Bm
Who made this mess,

     C
And who threw what punch,

       D                 
But I could not care less.

D                           
All I know is that I'm here

Bm
And you are not, Ohhh.

C
Once I put this wasted pride aside,

D
Nothin's all I got, Ohhh.

Em              D
Exchanging the way things were

         C                   A7
For the way that they should be, yeah.

     Em

    D

Am
Ohh,

         Em
Somebody make it stop, yeah.

Am
And pick me up,

          Em
And just dust me off, Ohh.

      Am
The rainy day flood,

Em
Drowned all this love.

D#
Trapped at the bottom now,

D
Please dig me up.

  D
I figured what it is all about.

     Bm
It's you that I could never live without.

       C
You're everything,

    A7*
