Lyrics

It’s been sev en whole (Am)days, sev en whole (C)days since you par a lyzed me;

sev en whole (Am)days, sev en whole (C)days since you lost

your fight.

And I can’t get the (Am)last words that you (C)said, can’t get (F)those words out of my head.

It’s been Sev en whole (Am)days, sev en whole (C)days, and four words.

And I (Am)can’t get a (G)way from the burn ing (Csus2)pain; I lie

a wake.

And the (Am)fall en he ro haunts my thoughts.

How could you leave me this way?

It’s been sev en whole (C)days

with out your em brace.

I wan na see your face.

I got some things to say.

Was just a week a go,

you said, “I love you girl,”

I said, “I love you more,”

then a breath, a pause, you said, if you say

so,

if you say so,

if you say

so,

if you say so.

It’s been sev en whole (Am)days, sev en whole (C)days since I heard the phone ring;

sev en whole (Am)days, sev en whole (C)days since I heard

your voice.

And I can’t get the (Am)last words that you (C)said, can’t get (F)those words out of my head.

It’s been sev en whole (Am)days, sev en whole (C)days of pure hurt.

And I (Am)can’t get a (G)way from the burn ing (Csus2)pain; I lie

a wake.

And the (Am)fall en he ro haunts my thoughts.

How could you leave me this way?

It’s been sev en whole (C)days

with out your em brace.

I wan na see your face.

I got some things to say.

Was just a week a go,

you said, “I love you girl,”

I said, “I love you more,”

then a breath, a pause, you said, if you say

so,

if you say so,

if you say

so,

if you say so.

It’s been sev en whole so,

if you say so.

I can’t be lieve it’s true.

I keep look ing for you.

I check my (Fmaj7)phone and wait to hear from you.

In the crowd ed (C)room,

the jok er is so (F)cruel.

And now I’ll nev er know if all I’ve been told is just a lie (Fmaj7)so (G)bold.

I thought we would grow old.

Mir rors in the (C)smoke

left me here to (F)choke.

It’s been sev en whole so,

if you say so.
