Verse 1:
Bb                  F   
  Long hours and a few dying flowers
         Gm                   Eb   Ebsus2
But you never seem to stick around
Bb                   F   
  How could you let something so good
         Gm                       Eb
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Gm                             F
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Dm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              Eb
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Gm                                  F
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Dm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          Eb
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                Bb
I wish I could say
F                           Gm
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
Eb                           Bb    F
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Gm                  Eb
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Gm                              F      Eb
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   Bb
Away
 
Verse 2:
Bb                           F   
  She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
             Gm                      Eb   Ebsus2
You had your mind set out on other things
     Bb                           F   
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
         Gm                             Eb
You let another come and take your place
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Gm                             F
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Dm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              Eb
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Gm                                  F
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Dm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          Eb
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                Bb
I wish I could say
F                           Gm

Eb                           Bb    F
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Gm                  Eb
