[INTRO]
C#m Abm A F#m (x2)
 
[VERSE 1]
 
C#m  Abm  A     F#m (Or B)         C#m        Abm       A
I woke up today sinkin' like the stones that you have thrown
F#m            C#m       Abm       A
Wounded by the same old shots you take
F#m            C#m      B       B (7th fret)
It's easier to kick me when I'm low
 
 
[CHORUS]
            A                      E
And I just thought that you should know
          B                 C#m           B
I've been holding on while you've been letting go
A                  E              B
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
         D                         A              B
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry but that's not what I meant to say
 
 
C#m Abm A F#m (x2)
 
[VERSE 2]
 
       C#m   Abm      A
I'm strong enough to say
F#m               C#m       Abm       A
That I don't wanna take the high road now
   F#m        C#m    Abm    A
So typical of you to walk away
F#m          C#m          B       B (7th fret)
When your perfect little world is burning down
 
 
[CHORUS]
            A                      E
And I just thought that you should know
                   B            C#m       B       A             E
I've been holding on while you've been letting go, can I be so bold?
                   B            C#m       B
'Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old
 A                     E           B
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
         D                         A              B
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry, but that's not what I meant to say
 
C#m Abm A F#m   C#m F#m
 
A                       E          B                F#m
What I really meant to say with every little breath I take
           A                     E
I'm not the only one who makes mistakes
                D                B
Just think of all the ones you've made
 
 
 
[CHORUS]
            A                      E
And I just thought that you should know
                   B            C#m       B       A             E
I've been holding on while you've been letting go, can I be so bold?
                   B            C#m       B
'Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old
 A                     E           B
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
         D                         A              B
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry, but that's not what I meant to say
