D 
As sure as the sun will rise  you made your way in to my  
Bm 
life had never been so sweet  
G                     G#m 
as we fell head first in to our  
D 
dreams, hopes, and where we'd go,  we laughed at everything we didn't 
Bm 
know or care what they would say,  
G                       G#m 
just that we had never felt this way

about anyone or anything.

I blinked once, I thought twice,

I watched you walk away,

D 
I live life day to day  trying to except the change.

I cling to every second glance but it's

quick sand. I know I had my 
D 
chance to treat you right,  now I'll never sleep at night

knowing that it's all my

fault.

I can't believe I let you slip  right though my finger tips.
