Artist: Sara Bareilles
[VERSE 1]
[A] You tell me that you're leavin'
You say that t[F#m]ime will slow the bleedin'
Of this heart that I'[D]ve placed into your hands
I held it out to you [Bm]
Now you give it back,[E] what am I supposed to do?
[A] Oh, I had a feeling
This day would c[F#m]ome and leave me reeling
I just want to ru[D]n back in your arms again
But they're no longer there [Bm]
To hold me safe inside,[E] to hold me anywhere
[CHORUS]
[A]Ooh, if I [Bm]can't [F#m]have [C#m]you
Then I'll [D]have to find a way to get thr[A]ough
Though I [Bm]don't [F#m]want [C#m]to
I h[D]ave to do my best to rec[Bm]all
That I'[E]m thankful that I held you at a[A]ll
[VERSE 2]
[A] I miss you every morning and in the evening rain
[F#m] Tonight, it's pouring, and I'm alone again
[Bm] I count the seconds between the thoughts of you
[Bm] I'm getting better, baby,[E] I'm almost up to two
[A] Oh, you had your reasons, and I know
[F#m] Some folks are seasons, they got to come and go
[Bm] But I'm still tender (Still tender), I miss the summertime
[Bm] When I could feel your love[E] and I could still feel mine
[CHORUS]
[A]Ooh, if I [Bm]can't [F#m]have [C#m]you
Then I'll [D]have to find a way to get thr[A]ough
Though I [Bm]don't [F#m]want [C#m]to
I h[D]ave to do my best to re[Bm]call
That I'[E]m thankful that I held you at all
[BRIDGE]
[G] You gave me everything
[Bm] That I will need to walk th[A]is long road (Show me the way to get back)
[G] Gave me a sense of pride
[Bm] That I will carry with me [E]all the way back home
[CHORUS]
[B]Ooh, if I [C#m]can't [G#m]have [D#m]you
Then I'll [E]have to find a way to get thr[B]ough
Though I [C#m]don't [G#m]want [D#m]to
I [E]have to do my best to re[C#m]call
That I'[F#]m thankful that I held you at a[B]ll
[OUTRO]
