[Intro]
C G/D Am C G  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                       G
Hard to believe I won't see you again
Am                         Em
We were just fighting when winter began
F
The coldness of our words
G                                C     G
Competing with the wind from the north
 
 
[Bridge 1]
C
Still they make me shiver
         G
But in a very different way
    Am                         Em
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
  F
I have some better words now
         G                       C   G
But it's too late to say them to you
 G  G  G
 
 
[Verse 2]
   C
My dream of all dreams
       G
And my hope of all hopes
    Am                  Em
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
F                       G                 C   G
How much I love you and how much I always did
    C
And yes, I know you loved me
        G
I could see it in your eyes
    Am                          Em
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
    F                       G                    C   G
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid
 
 
[Chorus]
           C      Am       G
Feels like no one understands
    C      Am    G        F       G
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Am      G  F
Through my prayers
F                G            C G Am C G
I only wanted to tell you I cared
C G Am C G
 
 
[Bridge 2]
C                     G
Every night after and every day since
  Am                           Em
I found myself crying when the memory hits
    F
Sometimes it knocks me down
     G                          C  G
Sometimes I can just put it away
C                       G
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
    Am                  Em
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
F                        G
If you have love in your heart
                      C  G
Let it show while you can
 
 
[Chorus]
    C     Am       G
Yes now I understand
    C      Am   G         F       G
But now my only chance to talk to you is
Am      G  F
Through my prayers
F                G               Am
I only wanted to tell you I cared
       F         G            C G/D Am C G
I only wanted to tell you I cared
 
 
[Outro]
