Tone: [E]
Verse:
[E]There is not a single [Dbm]word
In the whole [E]world
That could describe the [Dbm]hurt
The dullest knife just [A]sawing back and forth
Ripping through the [B]softest skin there ever was
How were you to [A]know?
How were you to [B]know?
Chorus:
And [E]I, I hate to see your [Dbm]heart break
I hate to see your [A]eyes get darker as they close
But [B]I've been there before
And [E]I, I hate to see your [Dbm]heart break
I hate to see your [A]eyes get darker as they close
But [B]I've been there before
Verse:
[E]Love happens all the [Dbm]time
To people who aren't [E]kind
And heroes who are [Dbm]blind
Expecting perfect [A]scripted movie scenes
Who wants an awkward [B]silence mystery?
How were you to [A]know?
How were you to [B]know?
Chorus:
And [E]I, I hate to see your [Dbm]heart break
I hate to see your [A]eyes get darker as they close
But [B]I've been there before
And [E]I, I hate to see your [Dbm]heart break
I hate to see your [A]eyes get darker as they close
But [B]I've been there before [A]
Verse:
For all the [Dbm]air that's in your l[B]lungs [A]
For all the [Dbm]joy that is to c[B]come
For all the things that [A]you're alive to feel
Just let the pain re[B]remind you hearts can heal
How were you to [A]know?
How were you to [B]know?
Chorus:
And [E]I, I hate to see your [Dbm]heart break
I hate to see your [A]eyes get darker as they close
But [B]I've been there before
And [E]I, I hate to see your [Dbm]heart break
I hate to see your [A]eyes get darker as they close
But [B]I've been there before
