when I kiss away your tears

You really had me going,

wishing on a star

Dsus2 chordDsus2
are heavier by far
Em chordEm
I believed in your confusion,
A chordA
you were so completely torn

was the day that I was born

if you have to ask me why

I say good-bye...

Imagining you care

And I could stand here waiting

A chordA fool for another day

But I don't suppose it's worth the price,

worth the price

The price that I would pay

I only feel the pain

There's nothing left to reason

and only you to blame

Will it ever change?

But I'm thinking it over anyway...

I've come to find

I may never know

Your changing mind

Is it friend or foe?
D chordD
I rise above
Am chordAm
Or sink below
G chordG
With every time
F chordF
You come and go
F chordF Em chordEm
Please don't come and go

*CHOURS*
Em chordEm
Well, i know what your doin,

I see it all too clear

There are some wonky sounding chords in there. The one that stood out the most is your C. Sounds like it should be a Cmaj7. Sounds closer that way.
