Verse 1:
E                  B   
  Long hours and a few dying flowers
         Dbm                   A   Asus2
But you never seem to stick around
E                   B   
  How could you let something so good
         Dbm                       A
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Dbm                             B
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Abm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              A
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Dbm                                  B
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Abm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          A
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                E
I wish I could say
B                           Dbm
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
A                           E    B
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Dbm                  A
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Dbm                              B      A
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   E
Away
 
Verse 2:
E                           B   
  She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
             Dbm                      A   Asus2
You had your mind set out on other things
     E                           B   
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
         Dbm                             A
You let another come and take your place
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Dbm                             B
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Abm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              A
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Dbm                                  B
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Abm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          A
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                E
I wish I could say
B                           Dbm
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
A                           E    B
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Dbm                  A
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Dbm                              B      A
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   A   
Away

  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Dbm                  A

Oh I wish I could say
B                           Dbm
