D, A, Bm, G [Carrie]
BmG Piercing words, eyes are red
DA Watched your taillights in the rain
BmG Empty heart filled with regret
DA I know we were both to blame
BmG And i'm not sorry that it's over
DA But for the way we let it end
GBm So I said all I had to say
GBmA In letters that I threw away
DA And you should know, please believe me
Bm I've picked up the phone a thousand times
GAD And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long
ABmAGA It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way
DA What can I say?
 [Guy]
BmG How did it come to this?

BmG It's no excuse, but I wish
DA That I never made you cry
BmG I'm not sorry that it's over
DA But for the way we let it end
GBmA G A I couldn't find the words to say
DA And you should know, please believe me
