A heart forlorn, a heart that’s scorned

A new love born


[Verse 1]
                           Bm

Heard it pounding knocking on the door, yeah

When I knew I had to let it go
                                    Bm
Don’t you know I wish that I could help it
                                   D
Don’t you know I wish that I could forget
                         Bm

I’ve been wishing things had been different
                                     D
But I guess the cards, they fall the way they're meant
                                 Bm
Win or lose or draw you play the hand you’rе sent
