Verse 1:
Em        Am           Dm             G
  Saw you singing your song the other day
Em            Am                   Dm               G
  It's been a long time since your eyes lit up that way
Em           Am                Dm                G
  I felt the guilt build up as I looked back how things went wrong
Em              Am           Dm
  Did I have to sweep in and scar you?
Em     Am                   Dm              G
  Five years, we shared the bittersweetness of our youth
Em              Am              Dm              G
  Then we broke up, because sometimes it is the best thing to do
Em            Am                   Dm        G
  Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too?
Em            Am         Dm
  But I'm not taking it against you

Pre-Chorus:
F
Since the beginning
        G
I nevеr wanted anything
       Em
But to see you reach your dreams
            Am
I knеw that you just wanted me
          Dm
But I had dreams of my own
           G
And I just couldn't let them go

Chorus:
      D                    Em
So I apologize, for coming into your life
        Am
Just to break your heart in pieces
         G
And then leave you in the night
D                   Em
 I tried my best to stay by your side
        Am
But who knew the rolling seasons
        G
Would reveal that sometimes
          Em              Am
We aren't meant to be the one
   F              G                  D
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

Verse 2:
Em           Am        Dm           G
  Things got heavy and you expected more from me
Em           Am           Dm             G
  I tried to be there, to take away your tears
Em             Am          Dm              G          Em        Am
  But I didn't notice that I was chipping away pieces of myself
               Dm
'Til there was nothing left to give
         G
I didn't even wanna live

Chorus:
       D
But I apologize, for coming into your life
        Am
Just to break your heart in pieces
         G
And then leave you in the night
D                   Em
 I tried my best to stay by your side
        Am
But who knew the rolling seasons
        G
Would reveal that sometimes
          Em              Am
We aren't meant to be the one
   F              G
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

Bridge:
Am                     E7
  I realized it wasn't anyone's fault at all
               Am                          Dm
It's just that I wasn't built to build you up when you fall
F
Maybe we were meant to be a lesson to each other
      G
But I wish you well
        G
And I'm sorry

Chorus:
       D                    Gbm
Oh, I apologize, for coming into your life
        Bm
Just to break your heart in pieces
         G
And then leave you in the night
D                   Gbm
 I tried my best to stay by your side
        Bm               A
But who knew the rolling seasons
        G
Would reveal that sometimes
          Em              Am
We aren't meant to be the one
   G              A
So goodbye to the one

Outro:
         Em              Am
I wasn't meant to be the one
       G          A                  D
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

Sydney

either +4 or -1 worked really well for me and I have a tiny hand.

Daniela Swei Lo

Is it just me or does Ab sounds awkwardly off?

sisi

-1

elliebellie1365

-3 is best for my lower voice

khaleesi

I prefer +4, it’s easier to sing this way!

MADMAX

This song hurt my voice a bit. Also, if you want to do Dd for -1 it is hard to do it with the capo. I just changed it to D.

jeanenchanted

For the GRAMMY version, do -1 but without a capo. Sounds amazing

Julia

I do the traditional island strum for this songs which is: UUDUDU
Love you all! <3

Liz_garvey

transpose -1 and put the capo on fret 3.

ooopsnevermind

On the line “He’s so bad but he does it so well”, I prefer playing D instead of G, and during the bridge I prefer Em to G, such as in “You see me in hindsight.”
