Chords
[Verse 1]
Bm I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute
Couldn't bear another day without you in it G5
All of the joy that I had known for all my life E5
Was stripped away from me F#5the minute that G5you died Bm
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted G5
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted E5
No way in hell that I F#5can ever comG5prehend this Bm
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong G5
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
Now E5I'm trapped inside F#5a nightmare eG5very single f'Cing day Bm
It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black, and there's no pretending
G5This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
There's no F#5knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell E5
[Pre-Chorus]
E5 I know you didn't Bmplan this E5
You tried to do what's Bmright E5
But in the middle of this Bmmadness I'm the one C
Cm left to win this F#5fight
[Chorus]
BmRedBm like G5roses
Fills my E5head with dreams and F#5finds G5me A
BmAlways G5closer
To the E5emptiness and sadness
That has F#5come to take the G5placeA ofBm Bmyou
[Verse 2]
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness G5
Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute E5
Make you understand F#5the reasons why G5I did it Bm
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
Want you to know that, for eternity, I'm shattered G5
I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to E5
And in a prison of F#5abandonment G5I've jailed you Bm
I never planned that I would leave you there alone
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home G5
And all the times I swore that it would be okay
Now E5I'm nothing but F#5a liar, and G5you're thrown into Cthe fray Bm
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
The pages are torn, and there's no final chapter
G5I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do
I made a F#5sacrifice, but forced a bigger sacrifice on you E5
[Pre-Chorus]
E5 I know you've lived a Bmnightmare E5
I caused you so much Bmpain
E5 But, baby, please don't do what BmI did I don't want C
Cm
You to waste your life in F#5vain
[Chorus]

Fills my E5head with dreams and F#5finds G5me A

To the E5emptiness and sadness
That has F#5come to take the G5placeA ofE5 E5you
[Bridge]
You're not the only one who Bmneeded me; I thought you underE5stood Bm E5
Would I change itBm if I could?
It doesG5n't matter how F#5
The petals G5scatter now F#5
Every E5nightmare just disF#5closes
It's your G5blood that's red like Aroses
And no E5matter what I F#5do
Nothing G5ever takes the Aplace of E5youE5
