Verse 1:
B                  Gb   
  Long hours and a few dying flowers
         Abm                   E   Esus2
But you never seem to stick around
B                   Gb   
  How could you let something so good
         Abm                       E
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Abm                             Gb
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Ebm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              E
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Abm                                  Gb
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Ebm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          E
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                B
I wish I could say
Gb                           Abm
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
E                           B    Gb
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Abm                  E
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Abm                              Gb      E
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   B
Away
 
Verse 2:
B                           Gb   
  She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
             Abm                      E   Esus2
You had your mind set out on other things
     B                           Gb   
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
         Abm                             E
You let another come and take your place
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Abm                             Gb
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Ebm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              E
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Abm                                  Gb
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Ebm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          E
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                B
I wish I could say
Gb                           Abm

E                           B    Gb
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Abm                  E
