Chords

Very easy to play song, Iffy on the strumming pattern but just play what feels right. [Intro] F Bb F Bb [Verse 1]
      F
I was lost, felt nothing at all but

           Bb                         F
I'm coming back now, yeah, I'm in the background

                                       Bb
No need to react now that everything's done (But let me say)

                      F
I thought it would be simple enough
And I had to grow up
        Bb
Just to learn all the ways that it's not

      F                                                Bb
But I never thought that I'd wanna call it quits in my whole life

        F                               Bb
I never aimed to feel confused, I blame myself to tell the truth

                    F
But now I know that everything's hard when you're living in the dark

    Bb
And you don't even wanna see it through

        F
If that had to be the way I'd be feeling for days

      Bb
And I knew it back then, I probably wouldn't do it
[Chorus]
F                                  Bb
But I never got the chance to tell you

F
I never had the balls to tell you

Bb
No, I never had the balls to tell you
[Verse 2]
F                                               Bb
I did everything that I could, but still, I was helpless (So helpless)

            F
I shouldn't waste my precious time

           Bb
On anybody living off of mine

                    F
And now I know that things are getting better
I could live like this forever
Bb
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

       Am
When I found my own way out

                            Bb
Was to open my mouth and be honest

                   C
I had to go and do it, yeah
[Bridge]
                   Bb
"This could be the best decision that you ever make

        Gm                     C
Please, don't be afraid", she reassures me

F
I know it's hard to play pretend

F                         Gm7
I promise you it's due to end

                                              C     F
And winners never quit, you know, so quitters never win
(It's only getting better now for you) [Verse 3]
F
I'm your man if you're looking for good times

Bb                                  F
Feel amazing and I'm on my way home

                         Bb
Yeah, I'm finally in the zone

                  F
I heard the word "goodbye" and felt surprised

                              Bb
That I wasn't even sad in the slightest

                              F
My mind was made up, but if I had to live a life

                          Bb
Only being polite, I'd be giving in
I'm never gonna do it [Chorus]
F                              Bb
I never got the chance to tell you

F
I never had the balls to tell you

Bb                                    F
No, I never had the balls to tell you now

Bb
Ah na na na na

            F
Woah oh oh oh oh

      Bb
Woah oh oh oh oh
[Solo] F Bb F Bb Balls to tell you F Bb Am Bb Balls to tell you [Outro]
F               C              Bb

Never had the balls to tell you
Balls to tell you
F                   C              Bbm
But I never got the chance to tell you (No)

Never had the balls to tell you (I didn't)
Balls to tell you
