Intro: Bm  G  D  G

Verse:
Bm                        G
i tried to paint you a picture, the colors were all wrong
D                         G
black and white didn't fit ya, and all along
Bm                     G
you were shaded with patience, and strokes of everything
D                       G
that i need just to make it, but i can see that

Pre-chorus:
A             G
Lord knows i failed you time and again
A                    G     
but you and me are alright

Chorus:
Bm          G            D               A  
we won't say our goodbyes, you know it's better that way
Bm            G            D             A  
we won't break we won't die, it's just a moment of change
Bm         G           D        A             
all we are, all we are, is everything thats right
Bm          G            D          A    C - A
all we need, all we need, a lover's alibi

Verse ( same as verse 1 ):
i walked a minute in your shoes, they never would have fit
i figured there's nothing to lose, i need to get
some perspective on these words, before i write them down
you're an island and my ship has run aground

Pre-chorus:
A             G
Lord knows i failed you time and again
A                    G     
but you and me are alright

Chorus:
Bm          G            D               A  
we won't say our goodbyes, you know it's better that way
Bm            G            D             A  
we won't break we won't die, it's just a moment of change
Bm         G           D        A             
all we are, all we are, is everything thats right
Bm          G            D          A    C - A
all we need, all we need, a lover's alibi

Bridge:
C
and every single day that i can breathe
A

    D                          A  
i'm never gonna let you pass me by
