Intro: Am G C F (x2)

Verse 1:
        Am         G           C        F
We open up at the station on a freezing night
                 Am         G           C         F
He said, "Honey, I can't do more than a brief goodbye
          Am       G           C            F
How could our farewell mean as much as our time?
         Am        G
Honey, I'll be gone
                   C              F
It's better if I'm something that
            Am       G   C     F
That you leave behind
            Am       G   C     F
That you leave behind
             Am
See, what it was
G               C           F
Was a reason to believe in life
           Am
What it was
      G                C          F
Was a week spent under sleepless skies
               Am        G
But sometimes life ain't fair
       C           F
And a love has to die"
             Am
Her sunny smile was gone
G                     C              F
Started feeling like something that
             Am      G  C    F
That she needs to hide
            Am       G  C    F
That she needs to hide

Chorus: C Am G

                             C Am G
Oh, what a beautiful feeling
                                C Am G
To love and know love in return
                                     F
Oh, but when time gets to stealing now
                                      Am
Two hearts, and one love for one girl

Verse 2:
               Am           G
She says, "I'm stuck in the spaces
           C      F
Where the demons hide
          Am                G
I've got love, and I've got patience
            C      F
Don't I deserve to smile?
           Am              G
I used to paint these trees
            C             F
Now I just scream at the sky
         Am       G
Honey, I was wrong
                      C               F
Guess there's certain things you never
           Am        G   C   F
You never leave behind
           Am        G   C   F
You never leave behind"

Chorus: C Am G

                             C Am G
Oh, what a beautiful feeling
                                C Am G
To love and know love in return
                                  F
Oh, but when time gets to stealing now
                                      Am
Two hearts, and one love for one girl

Outro:
             Am          G
And so we jump to the theatre
         C        F
In that same old town
             Am                G
She sees his face, and he sees her
        C         F
As the lights go down
              Am               G          C               F
The life that they should have had sat between them that night
                    Am             G
She left before the lights came on
                     C       F
Through the snow she saw him
                   Am       G  C
Already waiting outside
F                        Am         G   C     F
Could love outweigh the pain tonight?

Interlude: C Am G

                              C Am G
Oh, what a beautiful feeling
