[Verse 1] Am Em And you said, "Don't give me nothing Am Em you don't want to lose" Am Em I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got Am Em if I want them to choose" Am Em Then I got on a plane and flew Am Em far away from you Am Em Though unwillingly I left Am Em and it was so, so hard to do F C Em The streets here at home had rapidly filled up Am with the whitest of snow F C And they don't make no excuse for themselves Em Am and there's no need, I know [Chorus] F C Now I miss you more than I can take G F and I will surely break F C And every morning that I wake G F god, it's the same Am Em There's nothing more to it, Am G C I just get through it Am Em Oh, there's nothing more to it Am G C I just get through it [Verse 2] Am Em It always takes me by surprise Am Em how dark it gets this time of the year Am Em And how apparent it all becomes Am Em that you're not close, not even near Am Em No matter how many times I tell myself Am Em I have to be sincere Am Em I have a hard time standing up Am Em and facing those fears F C But Frank put it best when he said Em Am "You can't plan on the heart" F C Those words keep me on my feet Em Am when I think I might just fall apart [Chorus] F C Now I miss you more than I can take G F and I will surely break F C And every morning that I wake G F god, it's the same Am Em There's nothing more to it, Am G C I just get through it Am Em Oh, there's nothing more to it Am G C I just get through it Am Em Oh, there's nothing more to it Am G C I just get through it [Breakdown] D C G And so I ask where are you now D just when I needed you D C I won't ask again G D Because I know there's nothing we can do Am G D Not now, darling, you know it's true D Am G D Oooh...
