D-DU-UDU
If  you ever turn, if  you ever stop,  and ask the question
If  you only knew the  right question
Take  a look around,  you're the only one still here
And  the lights went out hours ago
It  all started out, so innocent
Is  where we are so wrong?
Don't  cry, I only hurt  you once and then you  walk away
Just  try to learn  to stay
If  you ever go to  another place just know  I'm trying
To  keep what I can  together
I'm  seeing for a time, I can  never fill the empty space  that you
Keep  inside  to be more alone
It  all started out so innocent
Is  where we are so wrong?
Don't  cry, I only  hurt you once and then  you walk away
Just  try to learn  to stay
I  know the clouds are coming (but it's  not enough to tell)
The  way the sunlight's burning (it brings  another day)
Don't  go (don't go) no matter what  I say
 Just play
 Then there's kind of an ending verse
I  wanted to see  you just one last  time before your flight
I  wanted to be  your fuse on the  fourth of July
I  wanted to see  you just one  last time before  you go
I  wanted to only,  let you  know
 Then play G Em C a few times repeating the words "let you know" every once in a while, and then end on G.
