[Verse 1]
G
 Heartbreak, it's
the word right now
Bm
  We took it all for
 D
granted
G
 And sorry don't
really work right now
Bm
  Guess I'm all out
     D
 of chances
G
 Don't even know where to
 search right now
Bm
  Can't see it all through
     D
 the damage
     G
That we tried so hard to
   Bm     D
 relieve, but

[Chorus]
             G
Things don't always go
 like we planned them
        Bm
And sometimes we don't
       D
 understand them
            G
Like how we made love
and it faded
      Bm
Maybe we couldn't see it
     D
That we should just
           G
 leave it alone
 G
Alone
Maybe wе're best
        Bm
 on our own
 D    G Bm D
Alone

[Verse 2]
G
 Mеmories are the worst
 right now
Bm
  In my mind we're still
  D
 dancing
G
 To a song that we can't
 make out
Bm
  And your hand was in
 D
 my hand
Forgiveness ain't part
of the budget right now
Bm                   D
  We're all out of advances
    G
But we should've known that
     Bm                D
 in love there's no receipts

Like how we made love

  G               Bb
Oh, who said that time
was enough?

'Cause I still can't

get over your love
     G            Gm
It's hard to see, to

That things don't always

Most of the song cycles through G – Bm – D – G (IV – vi – I – IV in D major). In solfa, that is fah – lah – doh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
