[Verse 1]
A                   E           B
They never tell you before they try and sell you
A                          B
Wanna see how well you can swim
A                E        B
I never told you before I went and sold you
A                      B
I was only gold on the rim

[Pre-Chorus 1]
       A                        E
It's a one, two, three, pull it off and see
       A         E          B
That a stitch in time saves nine
        A                         E                              D
And you won't unravel when you're thrown from the saddle and you won't unwind

[Chorus]
  B                         A  E
I never meant to break your heart
  B                         A  E
I never meant to break your heart
  B                        A            E         B    C#m
I never meant to pull you apart but I'd do it all over again
  D                         B                     A E B
I never meant to break your heart, but I'd do it again
           A E B
I'd do it again

[Verse 2]
A                  E           B
I know I meant it, although I never said it
A                     B
I was only buying the time
A           E     B
Just take a second to wind your watch and set it
A                      B
We were only running behind

[Pre-Chorus 2]
       A                             E
It's a one, two, three, count it out with me
            A       E              B
When you're in it a minute, you're mine
      A                       E                          D
I'm a quick controller so you won't fast forward and you won't rewind

[Chorus]
  B                         A  E
I never meant to break your heart
  B                         A  E
I never meant to break your heart
  B                        A            E         B    C#m
I never meant to pull you apart but I'd do it all over again
  D                         B                     C G D
I never meant to break your heart, but I'd do it again
           C G D
I'd do it again
           C G D
I'd do it again
               B
But I'd do it again

[Chorus]
  B                         A  E
I never meant to break your heart
  B                         A  E
I never meant to break your heart
  B                        A            E         B    C#m
I never meant to pull you apart but I'd do it all over again
  D                         B
I never meant to break your heart, but I'd do it again
