Verse 1:
D                  A   
  Long hours and a few dying flowers
         Bm                   G   Gsus2
But you never seem to stick around
D                   A   
  How could you let something so good
         Bm                       G
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Bm                             A
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Gbm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              G
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Bm                                  A
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Gbm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          G
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                D
I wish I could say
A                           Bm
 "Thank you for all the mistakes
G                           D    A
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Bm                  G
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
           Bm                              A      G
I'm saying thank you to the one who let her get away
   D
Away
 
Verse 2:
D                           A   
  She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
             Bm                      G   Gsus2
You had your mind set out on other things
     D                           A   
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
         Bm                             G
You let another come and take your place
 
Pre-Chorus:
         Bm                             A
You don't  know what you got 'til it's gone
                                     Gbm
Know when it's right 'til it's wrong
                              G
In search of perfect when you had it with you all along
Bm                                  A
  You broke her heart down with ease
                               Gbm
Now I'm picking up every piece
                          G
You must be so hard to please
 
Chorus:
                D
I wish I could say
A                           Bm

G                           D    A
  Thank you for all of the pain"
            Bm                  G
