Intro: Ab    Db    Ab    Db7 Db6
 
Verse:
      Ab          Db
I'm a book of mistakes
         Ab          Db
And it's just getting worse
      Ab          Db
Every new one I make
     Ab          Db
Is a rumour you heard
 

       Cm                  Db
'Cause these days I'm self-destructive
         Ab
The way I love
  Cm              Db
I push away every chance
       Ab
'Cause it's never enough
 

   Eb                      Bbm
My love, you can take the things they say
              Db
As the bitter truth
                   Bbm
But don't throw it all away
              Db        Eb

Chorus:
                  Ab    Db
'Cause if I just let go
                Ab      Db
If my heart could choose
                   Fm           Db
I would burn these Bridges I've built
                  Eb
And find my way back to you
          Fm           Db
No, don't throw it all away
      Eb

Verse:
      Ab          Db
Been a broken machine
          Ab               Db
Since the day you've been gone
     Ab         Db
On a loop in a dream
        Ab              Db
Did you think I'd move on?
 

                 Bbm
You can take the things they say

                  Eb
And find my way back to you
                  Ab    Db
I'd leave it all behind
                Ab      Db
I've got nothing to lose
               Fm             Db
And I know you heard what you heard
               Eb
But it doesn't mean it's true
          Fm           Db
No, don't throw it all away

Crying silent tears in the next door room

'Cause everybody's here but you

So I wrote you out this message

But I stopped myself from sending it off
