[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C
I fell by the wayside like everyone else
Am
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you but I was just kidding myself
F
Our every moment, I start to replace
G
'Cause now that they're gone, all I hear are the words that I needed to say

[Pre-Chorus]
C
When you hurt under the surface
Am F
Like troubled water running cold
G
Well, time can heal but this won't

[Chorus]
C Em
So, before you go
Am
Was there something I could've said

To make your heart beat better?
F G
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
C Em
So, before you go
Am
Was there something I could've said

To make it all stop hurting?
F
It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
G C
So, before you go

[Verse 2]
C
Was never the right time, whenever you called
Am
Went little by little by little until there was nothing at all
F
Our every moment, I start to replay
G
But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face

[Pre-Chorus]
C
When you hurt under the surface
Am F
Like troubled water running cold
G
Well, time can heal but this won't

[Chorus]

So, before you go
Am
Was there something I could've said

To make your heart beat better?

If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
C Em
So, before you go
Am
Was there something I could've said

To make it all stop hurting?

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
G Am
So, before you go

[Bridge]
C
Would we be better off by now
Am
If I'd have let my walls come down?
G
Maybe, I guess we'll never know
G C
You know, you know

[Chorus]
Em
Before you go
Am
Was there something I could've said

To make your heart beat better?
F G
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
C Em
So, before you go
Am
Was there something I could've said

To make it all stop hurting?

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless

So, before you go
