But I didn't know you were hurting

Didn't know we were broken

There's no CPR that can save us now

Verse 
G            Cadd9          Em         D       G 
When I first met you, I was spellbound by your laughter 
G            Cadd9             Em  D         G 
When I first met you, you were uptight and nervous 
G          Cadd9       Em     D            G 
You didn't know how to act or what to talk about 
G            Cadd9         Em   D           G 
When I first met you, your eyes shined with life

Now they're shrouded by all the pain hidden away 
      Cadd9         Em         D             G 
Now I know that the light that was can never be

Didn't know we were broken

There's no CPR that can save us now
