[Verse 1]
F#m
We were just strangers

                 C#m
Didn’t know your name but

             Bm                           A
I could tell you were good at hiding your pain

                  F#m
The ones you kept closest

            C#m
Didn’t even notice

               Bm                     A
But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away
[Pre-Chorus]
                D                    C#m
And lately it’s haunting me I didn’t protect you

                    Bm                    A
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed
[Chorus]
              Bm C#m D Em D
That you were okay

      A               D
But I learnt the hard way

                     Bm C#m D Em D
Thought it wasn’t my place

      A               D
But I learnt the hard way
[Verse 2]
            F#m
You left us too soon

                   C#m
Such pain they put you through

                  Bm                           A
Only felt safe in your room, needed someone to turn to

           F#m
A delicate flower

              C#m
They took all power

                Bm                         A
And got in your head before you could even bloom
[Pre-Chorus]
                D                    C#m
And lately it’s haunting me I didn’t protect you

                    Bm                    A
Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed
[Chorus]
              Bm C#m D Em D
That you were okay

      A               D
But I learnt the hard way

                     Bm C#m D Em D
Thought it wasn’t my place
A D (let it ring) But I learnt the hard way [Build-Up] D A F#m G G A F#m G [Bridge]
           D
Pretending everything’s okay

            A
I should’ve taken on your weight

       F#m                             G
Then I wouldn’t have to learn the hard way

             G
And why does someone have to lose?

            A
And why did that have to be you?

       F#m                           G
Wish I didn’t have to learn the hard way

           D
Pretending everything’s okay

            A
I should’ve taken on your weight

       F#m                             G
Then I wouldn’t have to learn the hard way

             G
And why does someone have to lose?

            Bm
And why did that have to be you?

       A                                 F#m D
Wish I didn’t have to learn the hard way
