Lyrics

I (C5)can’t get you out of the (Am7)sun light.

I (Fsus2)can’t get you out of the (C5)rain.

I (C5)can’t can’t get you back to that (Am7)one time ’cause (Fsus2)you and me are still re cov er (Am7)ing.

So let’s just (C5)try to cool it (Fsus2)down;

the fight ing is feed ing the (Am7)flames.

So let’s just (C5)try to slow it (Fsus2)down;

we crash when we race.

Oh, this is not the way that it should (G)end.

It’s the way it should be (Am)gin, it’s the way it should be (F)gin a gain.

No, I nev er wan na fall a (G)part, nev er wan na break your (Am)heart, nev er wan na let you (F)break my own.

Yes, I know we said a lot of (G)things that we prob ’ly did n’t (Am)mean, but it’s not too late to (F)take them back.

So be fore you say you’re gon na (G)go, I should prob ’ly let you (Am)know that I nev er knew (F)what I had.

I nev er knew (G)what I had.

See, (C5)I look for you in the (Am7)morn ing ’cause (Fsus2)that’s where my mind al ways (C5)goes.

And (C5)can’t can’t get you get to the (Am7)eve ning ’cause (Fsus2)that’s and when I want re you the (Am7)most.

So let’s just (C5)try to cool it (Fsus2)down;

the fight ing is feed ing the (Am7)flames.

So let’s just (C5)try to slow it (Fsus2)down;

we crash when we race.

Oh, this is not the way that it should (G)end.

It’s the way it should be (Am)gin, it’s the way it should be (F)gin a gain.

No, I nev er wan na fall a (G)part, nev er wan na break your (Am)heart, nev er wan na let you (F)break my own.

Yes, I know we said a lot of (G)things that we prob ’ly did n’t (Am)mean, but it’s not too late to (F)take them back.

So be fore you say you’re gon na (G)go, I should prob ’ly let you (Am)know that I nev er knew (F)what I had.

I nev er knew (G)what I had.

But I know it now.

I wish I would have known be fore how good

we were.

Is it too late to come back,

or is it real ly o ver?

And (Am)if it’s real ly o ver,

then this (G)what I had.

I nev er knew (F)what I had.

I nev er knew (G)what I had.

I nev er knew (F)what I had.

(I nev er knew (G)what I had.)

(I nev er knew (G)what I had.)
