Verse 1:
C                  G   
  Long hours and a few dying flowers
         Am                   F   Fsus2
But you never seem to stick around
C                   G   
  How could you let something so good
         Am                       F
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Am                             G
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Em
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              F
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Am                                  G
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Em
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          F
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                C
I wish I could say
G                           Am
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
F                           C    G
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Am                  F
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Am                              G      F
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   C
Away
 
Verse 2:
C                           G   
  She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
             Am                      F   Fsus2
You had your mind set out on other things
     C                           G   
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
         Am                             F
You let another come and take your place
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Am                             G
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Em
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              F
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Am                                  G
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Em
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          F
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                C
I wish I could say
G                           Am
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
F                           C    G
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Am                  F
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Am                              G      F
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   F   
Away

  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Am                  F
I guess somebody else's loss is another's

Oh I wish I could say
G                           Am
