Am F C G C

[Verse 1]
C
Dark spots on the pages are marks of the love
    Am
That I tried to give but it wasn't enough
   F                G                 C
But must we see the truth through our eyes
C
It feels like I've written you a hundred times before
             Am
Cause I don't wanna cage your heart I want it to soar
           F                           G                 C
But it's engraved in your mind that you must stand by my side

[Chorus]
C               Am       F
But go ahead and leave me
                     C       G
I'm telling you, you should
           Am         F
She's gonna love you
             C  G
Like I never could
             Am      F
Go ahead and leave me
           C   G
Tear me apart
                    Am     F
I'll take back the pieces
            C      G   C
Of my paper heart

[Verse 2]
C
You've been better to me than I ever deserved
   Am
And given me love that I can't return
     F              G                 C
So I have to let go, even though it hurts

[Chorus]
C               Am       F
But go ahead and leave me
                     C       G
I'm telling you, you should
           Am         F
She's gonna love you
             C  G
Like I never could
             Am      F
Go ahead and leave me
           C   G
Tear me apart
                    Am     F
I'll take back the pieces
            C      G 
Of my paper heart

[Bridge]
    Am
I'm trying to give you heaven
    F
By saying this farewell
             Am
I guess it's just a silver lining
        F         G
Of what feels like hell

[Chorus]
            Am       F
Go ahead and leave me
                     C       G
I'm telling you, you should
           Am         F
She's gonna love you
             C  G
Like I never could
                Am     F
Please just believe me
                   C     G
You've played your part
                 Am    F
I can take the pieces
                C  G
Of my paper heart

[Outro]
                    Am     F
Oh, I can take the pieces
                C    G  Am
Of my paper heart
