|B    F#/A#   |G#m   B/F#    |C#m   B/D#    |F#sus4   F#   |

|B          F#/A#     |G#m          B/F#   |C#m              B/D#       |F#sus4  F#  |
   I had it all, but I let it slip away,      couldn’t see I treated you wrong
|B               F#/A#         |G#m      B/F#   |C#m           B/D#      |F#sus4     F#  |
   Now I wander around, feeling down and cold,     trying to believe that you're gone

|E          F#      |D#m                         G#m                    |
 Love takes time, to heal when you're hurting so much, couldn't see that
|E     F#       |D#/G       3eG#m    4F#              |
 I was blind, to let you go, I      can't escape the
|E      F#          |D#/G       G#m  |C#m                    |E/F#                   |
 pain inside, ’cause love takes time,   I don't wanna be here,  I don't wanna be here

|B    F#/A#   |C#m  D#m  E   -  |
alone,     ooh-ooh

|B           F#/A#         |G#m          B/F#   |C#m         B/D#   |F#        |
   Losing my mind from this hollow in my heart,    suddenly, I'm so  incomplete
|B                       F#/A#       |G#m    B/F#         |
   Lord, I'm needing you now, tell me how to stop the rain
|C#m                 B/D#       |F#       |
   Tears are falling down endlessly, oh-oh

|E          F#      |D#m                         G#m                    |
 Love takes time, to heal when you're hurting so much, couldn't see that
|E     F#       |D#/G       3eG#m    4F#              |
 I was blind, to let you go, I      can't escape the
|E      F#          |D#/G       G#m  |C#m                        |E/F#                   |
 pain inside, ’cause love takes time,   and I don't wanna be here,  I don't wanna be here

|B   -  C#m  B/D#   |
Alone

|D#7sus4     D#7          |G#m  |D#7sus4     D#7         |G#m       |
   You might say that it's over,   you might say that you don't care
|D#7sus4     D#7          |G#m                       |
   You might say you don't miss me, you don't need me
     |C#m                                        |E/F#        |
But I know that you do, and I feel that you do, inside, oh, oh

|E          F#      |D#m                         G#m                    |
 Love takes time, to heal when you're hurting so much, couldn't see that
|E     F#       |D#/G       3eG#m    4F#              |
 I was blind, to let you go, I      can't escape the
|E      F#          |D#/G       G#m  |C#m                     |E/F#                    |
 pain inside, ’cause love takes time,   I don't wanna be there,  I don't wanna be there

|B    F#/A#   |C#m  B/D#   E   -  |B     |
Alone
