[Verse]
     Dm
I'm standing here paralyzed
    Am
So helpless right before your eyes
    Bb                              F     C
And all that you can seem to do is look away
   Dm
I know this weight that's on my shoulders
    Am
Is telling me it's really over
     Bb                                  F       C
And now goodbye's the only thing that's left to say
     Gm
You were always worth the risk
     Bb
But how'd it come to this


[Chorus]
           F
Cause I've opened up my heart to bleed
   C
I let you have the best of me
         Bb
But you wouldn't let me love you
    Dm               C
You couldn't let me love you
    F
I tried to give you what you need
        Am
But it took so long to finally see
          Bb
That you wouldn't let me love you
 Gm              Bb
Couldn't let me love you

[Verse]
    Dm
Somehow you said all the right things
    Am
To cover up the pain you're hiding
     Bb                     F        C
And never let me in close enough to touch
              Dm
You live with all these walls around you
   Am
Impossible for me to break through
     Bb                   F        C
And baby even I can only fight so much
          Gm
And it's cutting me so deep
     Bb
Promises I tried to keep


[Chorus]
           F
Cause I've opened up my heart to bleed
   C
I let you have the best of me
         Bb
But you wouldn't let me love you
    Dm               C
You couldn't let me love you
    F
I tried to give you what you need
        Am
But it took so long to finally see
          Bb
That you wouldn't let me love you
 Gm              Bb
Couldn't let me love you

[Bridge]
               Gm
And you should have been the one
            Gb7
The more I love, the more you run


[Final Chorus]
  F
I opened up my heart to bleed
   C
I let you have the best of me
         Bb
But you wouldn't let me love you
    Dm               C
You couldn't let me love you
    F
I tried to give you what you need
        Am
But it took so long to finally see
          Bb
That you wouldn't let me love you
 Gm              Bb
Couldn't let me love you
F                                C
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me, love you
Bb                               F
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me
     C
You wouldn't let me love you
F                                C
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me, love you
Bb                               F   C
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me,   love you


[Outro]
     Dm
I'm standing here paralyzed
    Am
So helpless right before your eyes
    Bb
And all that you can do is look away
