Verse 1:
F                  C   
  Long hours and a few dying flowers
         Dm                   Bb   Bbsus2
But you never seem to stick around
F                   C   
  How could you let something so good
         Dm                       Bb
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Dm                             C
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Am
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              Bb
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Dm                                  C
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Am
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          Bb
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                F
I wish I could say
C                           Dm
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
Bb                           F    C
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Dm                  Bb
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Dm                              C      Bb
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   F
Away
 
Verse 2:
F                           C   
  She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
             Dm                      Bb   Bbsus2
You had your mind set out on other things
     F                           C   
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
         Dm                             Bb
You let another come and take your place
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Dm                             C
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Am
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              Bb
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Dm                                  C
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Am
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          Bb
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                F
I wish I could say
C                           Dm
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
Bb                           F    C
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Dm                  Bb
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Dm                              C      Bb
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   Bb   
Away
