[Verse 1]
C G F C
In the darkness of the night, all I hear is a ringing in my ears
F C G
And my eyes are full of tears that I can't see
Am Em Am G Am
And I'll see comfort in bad places, and I'm trying to forget the faces
F C G C
But the many friends will say, that it was never meant to be
[Chorus]
C G F C
And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be
F C G
Though you once told me we'd always be as one.
Am Em Am G Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
F C G C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."
[Interlude]
C G F C F C G Am Em Am G Am F C G C
[Verse 2]
C G F C
Well, it left some damage in my wake, but I have the liberty to take the time to say
F C G
"It ain't all my fault alone”
Am Em Am G Am
I've been deceived and I've been forced to leave, my anger and my greaving
F C G C
In a heart that’s still believing, it was always meant to be."
[Chorus]
C G F C
And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be
F C G
Though you once told me we'd always be as one.
Am Em Am G Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
F C G C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."
[Interlude]
C G F C F C G Am Em Am G Am F C G C
[Verse 2]
C G F C
You have turned your beauty and your charme into a weapon of badly harm, the man you said,
F C G
Was the best friend you've been knowing
Am Em Am G Am
Then, your ways are justified, by stubborn foolish pride.
F C G C
And the price is payed by me, because that’s the way it’s meant to be.
[Chorus]
C G F C
And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be
F C G
Though you once told me we'd always be as one.
Am Em Am G Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
F C G C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."
[Interlude]
C G F C F C G Am Em Am G Am F C G C
[Verse 3]
C G F C
There is no dignity in remaining; love ain't worth retaining, anymore
F C G
So let’s just do each other in.
Am Em Am G Am
And leave the sadness and the fury, the judgement of a jury
F C G C
And the signature that’s saying, "it was never meant to be."
[Chorus]
C G F C
And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be
F C G
Though you once told me we'd always be as one.
Am Em Am G Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
F C G C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."
[Outro]
Am Em Am G Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
F C G F F F C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."
