Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse1

I thought I saw an angel

 Calling me across the yard

 She said baby, it's been real

 Now I'm gone

I should've known much better

 You can't tame something that wild

 When I asked her if she loved me

 She just smiled

Chorus

 But it's my fault

 I don't care

 I can't hate you if you're not here

 Once you go, never ever turn around

 I have sacrificed and I burned

 Oh, you gotta live before you learn

 And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts

Verse2

 And my angel with her dirty wings

 She used to make me smile

 She kept all of her secrets locked inside

In a place I could not reach her

 Though I tried with all my might

 When I begged for something real she said goodbye

Chorus

 And it's my fault

 I don't care

 I can't hate you if you're not here

 Once you go, never ever turn around

 I have sacrificed and I burned

 Oh, you gotta live before you learn

 And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts

Bridge

 And I am sure it'll be just fine

 If I remember, she wasn't ever mine

 And I am sure it'll be just fine

 If I remember, she wasn't ever mine

Verse3

 And the truth about the two of us

 Is we don't make no sense

 When we made love, our love was just pretend

And now I'm trying to forget her

 But I feel her in my bones

 And I wonder if she thinks of me at all

Chorus

 But it's my fault

 I don't care

 I can't hate you if you're not here

 Once you go, never ever turn around

 I have sacrificed and I burned

 Oh, you gotta live before you learn

 And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts

 And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
