capo: 2nd fret
[verse (1)]
G D
long hours and a few dyin' flowers
Em C
But you never seem to stick around
G D
how could you let somethin' so good
Em C
Go to waste and bleed the colours out?
[pre-chorus]
Em
You don't-- know what you got
D
'til it's gone-- know when it's right
Bm
'til it's wrong-- in search of perfect
C
When you had it with you all along
Em
you broke her heart down with ease
D
now i'm pickin' up every piece
Bm
you must be so
C
Hard to please
[chorus]
G D
I wish i could say
Em C
"thank you for all the mistakes
G D
Thank you for all of the pain"
Em
I guess somebody else's loss
C
Is another's gain
Em
I'm sayin' thank you to the one
D C G
Who let her get away-- away--
[verse (2)]
G
she gave you love
D
But it wasn't enough
Em
You had your mind
C
Set out on other things
G
Can't-- sleep at night
D
Now you're payin' the price
Em
You let another come
C
And take your place
[pre-chorus]
Em
You don't-- know what you got
D
'til it's gone-- know when it's right
Bm
'til it's wrong-- in search of perfect
C
When you had it with you all along
Em
you broke her heart down with ease
D
now i'm pickin' up every piece
Bm
you must be so
C
Hard to please
[chorus]
G D
I wish i could say
Em C
"thank you for all the mistakes
G D
Thank you for all of the pain"
Em
I guess somebody else's loss
C
Is another's gain
Em
I'm sayin' thank you to the one
D C
Who let her get away-- away
[bridge]
Em
Thank you to the one who caused her heart to break
D
I'm thankin' you for givin' me a soul to save
Em
Thank you to the one
D
Who let her get away
[chorus]
G D
You know, i wish i could say
Em C
Thank you for all the mistakes
G D
Thank you for all of the pain"
Em
I guess somebody else's loss
C
Is another's
G D
Oh, i wish i could say

Thank you for all of the pain
Em
I guess somebody else's loss
C
Is another's gain
Em

Who let her get away-- away
Long hours and a few dyin' flowers
But you never seem to stick around
How could you let something so good
Go to waste and bleed the colours out
You don't know what you got till it's gone
Know when it's right till it's wrong
In search of perfect
When you had it with you all along
You broke her heart down with ease
Now I'm pickin' up every piece
You must be so hard to please
I wish I could say
Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm saying thank you to the one
Who let her get away, away
She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
You had your mind set out on other things
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
You let another come and take your place
You don't know what you got till it's gone
Know when it's right till it's wrong
In search of perfect
When you had it with you all along
You broke her heart down with ease
Now I'm pickin' up every piece
You must be so hard to please
I wish I could say
Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm saying thank you to the one
Who let her get away, away
Thank you to the one who caused her heart to break
Oh thank you for giving me a soul to save
Thank you to the one who let her get away
You know I wish I could say
Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain
I guess somebody else's loss is another's
Oh I wish I could say
Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm saying thank you to the one
Who let her get away, away
