Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
Em        Am           Dm             G
  Saw you singing your song the other day
Em            Am                   Dm               G
  It's been a long time since your eyes lit up that way
Em           Am                Dm                G
  I felt the guilt build up as I looked back how things went wrong
Em              Am           Dm
  Did I have to sweep in and scar you?
Em     Am                   Dm              G
  Five years, we shared the bittersweetness of our youth
Em              Am              Dm              G
  Then we broke up, because sometimes it is the best thing to do
Em            Am                   Dm        G
  Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too?
Em            Am         Dm
  But I'm not taking it against you
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Since the beginning
        G
I nevеr wanted anything
       Em
But to see you reach your dreams
            Am
I knеw that you just wanted me
          Dm
But I had dreams of my own
           G
And I just couldn't let them go
 
 
[Chorus]
      C                    Em
So I apologize, for coming into your life
        Am
Just to break your heart in pieces
         F
And then leave you in the night
C                   Em
 I tried my best to stay by your side
        Am
But who knew the rolling seasons
        F
Would reveal that sometimes
          Em7             Am
We aren't meant to be the one
   F              G                  C
So goodbye to the ones we once loved
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em           Am        Dm           G
  Things got heavy and you expected more from me
Em           Am           Dm             G
  I tried to be there, to take away your tears
Em             Am          Dm              G          Em        Am
  But I didn't notice that I was chipping away pieces of myself
               Dm
'Til there was nothing left to give
         G
I didn't even wanna live
 
 
[Chorus]
      C                    Em
So I apologize, for coming into your life
        Am
Just to break your heart in pieces
         F
And then leave you in the night
C                   Em
 I tried my best to stay by your side
        Am
But who knew the rolling seasons
        F
Would reveal that sometimes
          Em7             Am
We aren't meant to be the one
   F              G
So goodbye to the ones we once loved
 
 
[Bridge]
Am                     G#m7
  I realized it wasn't anyone's fault at all
               Gsus                          F#m6
It's just that I wasn't built to build you up when you fall
F
Maybe we were meant to be a lesson to each other
      G
But I wish you well
        G
And I'm sorry
 
 
[Chorus]
       D                    F#m
Oh, I apologize, for coming into your life
        Bm
Just to break your heart in pieces
         G
And then leave you in the night
D                   F#m
 I tried my best to stay by your side
        Bm               A
But who knew the rolling seasons
        G
Would reveal that sometimes
          Em              Bm
We aren't meant to be the one
   G              A
So goodbye to the one
 
 
[Outro]
         Em              Bm
I wasn't meant to be the one
       G          A                  D
So goodbye to the ones we once loved
              Saw you singing your song the other day
It's been a long time since your eyes lit up that way
I felt the guilt build up as I looked back how things went wrong
Did I have to sweep in and scar you?

Five years, we shared the bitter-sweetness of our youth
Then we broke up, because sometimes it is the best thing to do
Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too?
But I'm not taking it against you

Since the beginning I never wanted anything
But to see you reach your dreams
I knew that you just wanted me
But I had dreams of my own, and I just couldn't let them go

So I apologize
For coming into your life
Just to break your heart to pieces
And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side
But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
We aren't meant to be the one
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

When things got heavy, and you expected more from me
I tried to be there to take away your tears
But I didn't notice that I was chipping away
At pieces of myself 'til there was nothing left to give
I didn't even want to live

But I apologize
For coming into your life
Just to break your heart to pieces
And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side
But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
We aren't meant to be the one
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

I realized it wasn't anyone's fault at all
It's just that I wasn't built to build you up when you fall
Maybe we were meant to be a lesson to each other
But I wish you well
And I'm sorry

Oh I apologize
For coming into your life
Just to break your heart to pieces
And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side
But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
We aren't meant to be the one
So goodbye to the ones
I wasn't meant to be the one
So goodbye to the one I once loved
