The Ones We Couldn't Be Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It'[Em]s har[D]d[C][Am][G]
to say now who [Am]left first
[G]It [C]used to seem so [Dsus4]clear
[C]You and I wer[Am]e tangled
from the [D]start[Em]
[D]Somehow[G] the scales just fell away
And I'm [C]left [D]standing [Em]here
[Am]Blown open in the hole
that was my [Dsus4]part[D]

[Verse 2]
I [C]wrap the dark [G]around [Dsus4]me
There's no [Em]solace here tonight
[D]There's just wis[C]hing and
[G]regret [Am]for company
[D]My [Em]glass[F#dim][G]
is raised for all the ways
We [C]tried to [D]get [Em]it right
And I'm [Am]sorry for the [Dsus4]ones
we couldn't [D]be[Em][Am]
I'm so sorry for [G]the [D]ones
we couldn't [Dsus4]be
[G]

[Verse 3]
Looking through these
[Am]photo[G]graphs
[C]Searching for a [Dsus4]clue[C]
How you and I [Am]got tangled from
[D]the start[Em]
[F#dim]Not even bloo[G]d could forge a bond
[C]Enough to [D]get us [Em]through
Or [Am]stem the tides that pulled us far apart

[Verse 4]
[D]I'm [Em]sorr[F#dim]y for the [D]ways
[G]I couldn't give you
[Am]What [C]you needed
For [D]all the ways I [G]strung us
[C]both [G]along[Am]
They [Eb]say it goes both [G]ways and I sup[C]pose
I [G]could concede [Am]it[Bb]
Seems to matter more,
now [Gm]that you're [Am]gone[C]

[Verse 5]
And [G]though it seems much [Am]kinder[G]
Just to [C]leave some things
un[Dsus4]said[C]
Like all the ways [Am]I tore
myself [D]apart[Em]
[F#dim]If you really wa[G]nt forgiveness, better
[C]Try the truth [D]instead
[Em]It m[Am]ay not be eno[Dsus4]ugh, but it's a start

[Verse 6]
[G]I w[C]rap t[G]he dark around me
There's [Em]no solace here to[G]night[D]
There's [C]just wishing and re
[Am]gret for company
[D]My [Em]glass[D] is ra[G]ised
for all the ways
We [C]tried to [D]get [Em]it right
And I'm [Am]sorry for the ones
[D]we couldn't be[Em][Am]
I'm so sorry for [G]the [D]ones[Dsus4]
[Am]Sorry [G]for [D]the ones
I'm so [Am]sorry for [G]the [D]one I [Dsus4]couldn't [D]be
