Tom: Am
Am F C G C
[Verse 1]
C
Dark spots on the pages are marks of the love
Am
That I tried to give but it wasn't enough
F G C
But must we see the truth through our eyes
C
It feels like I've written you a hundred times before
Am
Cause I don't wanna cage your heart I want it to soar
F G C
But it's engraved in your mind that you must stand by my side
[Chorus]
C Am F
But go ahead and leave me
C G
I'm telling you, you should
Am F
She's gonna love you
C G
Like I never could
Am F
Go ahead and leave me
C G
Tear me apart
Am F
I'll take back the pieces
C G C
Of my paper heart
[Verse 2]
C
You've been better to me than I ever deserved
Am
And given me love that I can't return
F G C
So I have to let go, even though it hurts
[Chorus]
C Am F
But go ahead and leave me
C G
I'm telling you, you should
Am F
She's gonna love you
C G
Like I never could
Am F
Go ahead and leave me
C G
Tear me apart
Am F
I'll take back the pieces
C G
Of my paper heart
[Bridge]
Am
I'm trying to give you heaven
F
By saying this farewell
Am
I guess it's just a silver lining
F G
Of what feels like hell
[Chorus]
Am F
Go ahead and leave me
C G
I'm telling you, you should
Am F
She's gonna love you
C G
Like I never could
Am F
Please just believe me
C G
You've played your part
Am F
I can take the pieces
C G
Of my paper heart
[Outro]
Am F
Oh, I can take the pieces
C G Am
Of my paper heart
