Lucy Spraggan – As The Saying Goes chords

[Intro]

F/E  F  F/E  F  F/E  F  F/E  F  Am

[Verse 1]

      F/E                    FYou stood and cleared your throat
       F/E            FThen every word you spoke
          F/E                F             F/E         FSeemed to fall out of your mouth hit the ground and explode
AmSomething about the truth and that you wanted me to know
AmI was working all the time and that you hadn't been alone
     F/E                 F        F/E          FYou said that you were sorry, how it had been hell
    F/E            F                     F/E    FIT hadn't been at home, cause you'd been in a hotel
AmTurned your phone towards me
AmAnd I felt the world melt
AmCause I was looking at a picture of you and someone else

[Pre-Chorus]

F/E  F     F/E      F     F/E   FCliched, cliched I know
          F/E      F      GBut it's hard to give up hope
GAs the saying goes

[Chorus]

                        FIt's better late than never
                        GThere's pride before a fall
                      Am                   G             CIt's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all
             Em          FHearts were built for breaking
                           GIf you love them set them free
                     AmTimes the greatest healer
     G                 DAnd what will be will be
                    FI just know that I miss you
                         GAnd none of it helps
                    F/E  F  F/E  F  F/E  F  F/EPlease come back to me

[Verse 2]

     F              AmI walked from the front door to my car
AmAnd drove straight to the bar
AmSat down
AmLooked at the scars across my arms
    F/E               F                 F/E            FIt all came flooding back, like I was sitting in the dark
      F/E        F        F/E            FHow quickly I forgot that I had come so far
AmYou were more than this
          AmSaid I'd never do it again
          Am                                 AmBecause you said it hurt to see me do it to myself
     F/E        FBut that's all gone now
     F/E                FAnd you're not here to help
  F/E               F                  F/E      GBecause you gave up on me just like everybody else
AmI wish that I'd been better
AmThe person that you needed
                                CI'm so much better than just sitting here and bleeding
F/E            F            F/E            FI'm not gonna let this get worse and take hold
           F/E        F          F/E           F       GI made a promise to myself, and I'll make it home
GWell as the saying goes
