(Bb)Don’t you ev er say (Dm)I just walked a way.

(F)I will al ways want you.

(Bb)I can’t live a lie, (Dm)run ning for my life.

(F)I will al ways want you.

(CN.C.)I came in like a (F)wreck ing ball.

I nev er hit so (Dm)hard in love.

All I want ed was to (F)break your walls.

All you ev er did was

wreck (Bb)me.

Yeah, you, you wreck (Bb)me.

I (Dm)put you high up (F)in the sky, and now

you’re not com ing down.

It (Dm)slow ly turned.

You (F)let me burn, and now we’re ash es on the ground.

(Bb)Don’t you ev er say (Dm)I just walked a way.
