Verse 1:
Eb                  Bb   
  Long hours and a few dying flowers
         Cm                   Ab   Absus2
But you never seem to stick around
Eb                   Bb   
  How could you let something so good
         Cm                       Ab
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Cm                             Bb
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Gm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              Ab
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Cm                                  Bb
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Gm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          Ab
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                Eb
I wish I could say
Bb                           Cm
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
Ab                           Eb    Bb
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Cm                  Ab
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Cm                              Bb      Ab
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   Eb
Away
 
Verse 2:
Eb                           Bb   
  She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
             Cm                      Ab   Absus2
You had your mind set out on other things
     Eb                           Bb   
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
         Cm                             Ab
You let another come and take your place

You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Gm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              Ab
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Cm                                  Bb
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Gm
Now I'm picking up every piece

You must be so hard to please

                Eb
I wish I could say
Bb                           Cm
