Intro C#m F#m E G#m Verse 1

^C#mI've never ^F#mbeen the kind to ^Ehold back, ^G#mThough I've ne^C#mver fe^F#mlt the bu^Erden before,^G#m ^C#mAnd all these y^F#mears I begged for ve^Engeance, W^G#mas only l^C#meft with wa^F#mnting mo^Ere, ^G#m

Pre-Chorus

But ^AI c^C#man't be whole, 'ti^El I let all this a^Bnger go, The si^Alent strain I've carr^Eied long enoug^Bh.

Chorus

And ^EI can't be with y^Bou, I don't even w^F#mant to, I just w^Aish your ghosts were go^Bne, Cause I^E'm ready to lo^Bve, I've been g^F#muarded l^Aong enough.

C#m F#m E G#m It's taken a lot to forgive you, Oh it's taken me so long, I tried in vain to forget you, Oh I tried everything, But I won't be free, 'til I've made peace with never knowing, What went wrong and was the fault in me. And I can't be with you, I don't even want to, I just wish your ghosts were gone, Cause I'm ready to love, I've been guarded long enough.

^C#mI've be^Aen gua^Erded^B long enough, ^C#mI've be^Aen gua^Erded^B long enough, ^C#mI've be^Aen gua^Erded^B long enough to know, ^C#mI'm rea^Ady, I'^Em re^Bady, ^C#mI'm rea^Ady, I'^Em re^Bady, ^C#mI'm rea^Ady, I'^Em re^Bady, ^C#mI'm rea^Ady, I'^Em re^Bady now.
