[Intro]
| F    C  | G  |

[Verse 1]
F               C
 I thought it'd only be a moment
G
 Like a night of summer rain
   F
But it’s like a landslide
     C     G          C/E
of emotion every day
F                       C
 I've been trying to recover
         G
I put you to the back of my brain
F                          C
 Now I'm just trying to remember you
        G
In the best way

[Pre-Chorus]
  C/E  F
I,     I go from feeling numb
    C                         G
to feeling everything at once
                    F
And I don’t know if I wanna cry
C
One of the hardest things
     G
I've ever had to learn

[Chorus]
                   F
Is how to lose someone
       C
First you don't have the words
G
It's the kind of flame you
don't see 'til it burns
      F              C
And it hurts 'til it eats you alive
  G
Changes you forever in
                C/E
the blink of an eyе
        F
And it's not something that
      C
just fades overnight
      G
It’s somеthing that stays
for the rest of your life
          F                 C
When you lose somebody you love
          G
When you lose somebody you love

[Verse 2]
F                               C
 It comes and goes like it’s a season
G
 But the clouds are always grey
F
 And late at night when
       C
 I'm alone with my thoughts
    G                          C/E
It feels like a Ferrari racing

[Pre-Chorus]
F                          C
I go from feeling numb to feeling
                   G
everything at once
                    F
And I don’t know if I wanna cry
C
One of the hardest things
     G
I've ever had to learn

[Chorus]
                   F
Is how to lose someone
       C
First you don't have the words
G
It's the kind of flame you
don't see 'til it burns
      F              C
And it hurts 'til it eats you alive
  G
Changes you forever
                   C/E
in the blink of an eyе
        F
And it's not something
           C
that just fades overnight
      G
It’s somеthing that stays
for the rest of your life
          F                 C
When you lose somebody you love
(Lose somebody you love)
          G                      C/E
When you lose somebody you love
