And every single breath you breathe

It’^Bs hard to find the word^C#s to say When we both ^Bhurt like this So I close ^F#mmy eyes and pray Time w^G#mill heal what we’re bound to miss

Pre Chorus:

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

Chorus: Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get

Sometimes what we get ain’t really w^D#mhat we want Sometimes what we want isn’t what we get Sometimes ^Bwhat we get ain’t really what we want

It seems for every one we win

^EThere’s another three we lose We’ve waited for^D#m the answer here ^BOnly just to^G#m leave confused ^BYou know you’re forever mine

And baby, I’m forever yours

^F#I’ve waited in the darkest rooms ^G#mOoh, waiting in the open^B door

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