[Intro]  Am  F  G  F

                Am
I don't want to talk
                      F
Cos it will only hurt more
                Am
I don't want to bring it up again 
                 D    F
Cos it hurt like hell before

                Am
You know me too well
            C                 F
You make my head spin and I'll just say something wrong
                      Am
You pull me out of my shell
         G                    F
And then hate me when I'm done

           G
But if the rain keeps falling
                                  F
And you can't see the tears in my eyes
             G
They say the night is daunting
                             F C Dm
But we all need somewhere to hiiiiide

               Am          C         F
So it could be better if I kept it to myself
            Am          C              F
It could be better if I left it on the shelf
G                                    F
Before I go and say something I don't mean
            Am          C              F
It could be better if I kept it to myself

                Am
Let's wipe the slate clean
                       F
And I'll bottle it up again
                              Am
It's just how I've always been
         F
Even without you

           G
Cos if the rain stops falling
                                     F
And you start to see the tears in my eyes
           G
And if the night stops calling
                               F Em Dm
And we won't have somewhere to hiiiiide

               Am          C         F
So it could be better if I kept it to myself
            Am          C              F
It could be better if I left it on the shelf
G                                    F
Before I go and say something I don't mean
            Am          C              F
It could be better if I kept it to myself

           F                  Dm
I'd rather forget than have to forgive
           Am                          G
I'd rather lose it than live with this memory
              F                         Dm
Don't want to accept the things that you did
             Am                      G
I try not to show it but you know it hurts me
           F                  Dm
I'd rather forget than have to forgive
           Am                          G
I'd rather lose it than live with this memory
              F                         Dm
Don't want to accept the things that you did
                Am             G
Cos you know it hurts me, yeah

F                                    Am     G
Before I go and say something I don't mean
F                                    Am     G
Before I go and say something I don't mean
               Am          C         F
So it could be better if I kept it to myself
            Am          C              F
It could be better if I left it on the shelf
G                                    F
Before I go and say something I don't mean
            Am          C              F
It could be better if I kept it to myself
