Baby, we are ^Blying here ^GaugPretending that weâ^Bre both asleep I can hear ^G#myour broken heart

And every single breath you breathe

Itâ?^B?s hard to find the w^C#ords to say When we both ^Bhurt like this So I close ^F#mmy eyes and pray Time w^G#mill heal what weâre bound to miss

Pre Chorus:

No one can e^Gaugver say Why ^Bit goes this way

Chorus: Sometimes what we want isnât what we get

Sometimes what we get ainât reall^D#my what we want Sometimes what we want isnât what we get Sometimes ^Bwhat we get ainât really what we want

It seems for every one we win

^EThereâs another three we lose Weâve waited ^D#mfor the answer here ^BOnly just to^G#m leave confused ^BYou know youâre forever mine

And baby, Iâm forever yours

^F#Iâve waited in the darkest rooms ^G#mOoh, waiting in the open^B door

No one can^E ever say Why it ^Bgoes this way

Sometimes what we want isnât what we get

Sometimes what we ge^Et a^Bin't really want we ^F#want ^BSometimes what we ^Bmwant isnât what we get Sometimes what we get ainât really wha^Bt we want
