Capo 1

Intro:
D, A, Bm, G

Carrie:
           Bm             G
Piercing words, eyes are red 
               D                A
Watched your taillights in the rain 
       Bm                G
Empty heart filled with regret 
       D                 A
I know we were both to blame 

              Bm              G
And i'm not sorry that it's over 
             D             A
But for the way we let it end 
            G            Bm
So I said all I had to say 
             G             Bm  A
In letters that I threw away 

       D                    A
And you should know, please believe me 
            Bm
I've picked up the phone a thousand times 
      G                  A                 D
And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long 
           A                 Bm                 A            G   A
It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way 
         D       A
What can I say? 

Guy:
        Bm           G
How did it come to this? 

Guy and Carrie:
          D                 A
I think about you all the time 
           Bm           G
It's no excuse, but I wish 
          D            A
That I never made you cry 

          Bm             G
I'm not sorry that it's over 
             D             A
But for the way we let it end 
             G                 Bm  A G A
I couldn't find the words to say 

     D                    A
And you should know, please believe me 
            Bm
I've picked up the phone a thousand times 
      G                  A                 D
And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long 
           A                 Bm                 A            G   A
It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way 
                        Bm G D A   
Carrie: So What can I say? 
Guy: (What can I say?) 
                     Bm G D A

               G              Bm
Carrie:(I said all I had to say) 
            Bm           G           Bm     
Guy: Is a memory I left you, space between 
           G
what was meant to be 
                     G            Bm A
Carrie:(In letters that I threw away) 
         Bm                 A        G
Guy: And the mess that it turned into 

     D                    A
And you should know, please believe me 
            Bm
I've picked up the phone a thousand times 
      G                  A                 
And tried to dial your number!!!
               D
But it's been so long 
           A                 Bm                 A            G   A
It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way 
                  Bm                A         G      A
