E   E   E   A

[Verse 1]
E                     B                A
I can't take back the things I said to you in the past
   E                   B           A
Or make you forget the reasons why we didn't last

[Pre-Chorus]
B                   A
I'm haunted by what might have been
B                          A   E    A
Still I can't change who I was back then

[Chorus]
E
But if I could hold you now, you'd see I've turned myself around
                                         A
And now I'm someone you'd be proud to love
E                                 B
I'd do all the right things, make promises that I'd keep
   A
It hurt too much to let you down
    E                  B              A
And in my arms there'd be no room for doubt
           A    B   E
If I could hold you now

[Verse 2]
E                   B                   A
It's funny how this empty room makes it all too clear
       E               B          A
When I let you leave a part of me just disappeared
       B                        A
But if I'd known then what I've come to know
B                           A   E   A
There's no way I could have let you go

[Pre-Chorus]
       E
But if I could hold you now you'd see I've turned myself around
                                       A
And now I'm someone you'd be proud to love

[Chorus]
E                                 B
I'd do all the right things, make promises that I'd keep
   A
It hurt too much to let you down
    E                  B              A
And in my arms there'd be no room for doubt
           A    B   E
If I could hold you now

[Break]  
E  E  E  A,   E  E  E  A

[Pre-Chorus]
       B                        A
But if I'd known then what I've come to know
B                           A   E   A
There's no way I could have let you go

[Chorus]
       E
But if I could hold you now you'd see I've turned myself around
                                       A
And now I'm someone you'd be proud to love
E                                 B
I'd do all the right things, make promises that I'd keep
   A
It hurt too much to let you down
    E                  B              A
And in my arms there'd be no room for doubt
           A    B   E
If I could hold you now 

[Outro]
           A    B   E
If I could hold you now
           A       E              A
If I could ho----- ---ld you now
