Key of G

[Intro]

G  D/F#  Em  C  (staccato, x2)

G  D/F#  Em  C  (x2)


[Verse 1]

G                     D/F#
Days swiftly come and go
                Em
I'm dreaming of her
                    C
She's seeing other guys
               G
Emotions they stir
            D/F#
The sun is gone
                Em
The nights are long
          C
And I am left while the tears fall


[Pre-Chorus]

G
Did you think that I would cry,
Em          C
on the phone?
G
Do you know what it feels like,
Em          C
being alone?
Em        C
I'll find someone new


[Chorus]

G                             D
Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    Em                    C
My heart is crushed by a former love
G        D       Em     C
Can you help me find a way

To carry on again


[Verse 2]

G                  D/F#
Wish cast into the sky
           Em
I'm moving on
                    C
Sweet beginnings do arise
                G
She knows I was wrong
              D/F#
The notes are old
                Em
They bend, they fold
          C
and so do I to a new love


[Pre-Chorus]

G
Did you think that I would cry,
Em          C
on the phone?
G
Do you know what it feels like,
Em          C
being alone?
Em        C
I'll find someone new


[Chorus]

G                             D
Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    Em                    C
My heart is crushed by a former love
G        D       Em     C
Can you help me find a way

To carry on again


[Instrumental]

G  D/F#  Em  C  (x2)


[Bridge]

Em   D/F#  (staccato)
Bury me
  Em                C    (softly)
(you thought your problems were gone)
Em   D/F#
Carry me
  C
(away, away, away...)


[Chorus]

G                             D
Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    Em                    C
My heart is crushed by a former love
G        D       Em     C
Can you help me find a way

To carry on again

G                             D
Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    Em                    C
My heart is crushed by a former love
G        D       Em     C
Can you help me find a way

To carry on again

G                             D
Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
    Em                    C
My heart is crushed by a former love
G        D       Em     C
Can you help me find a way

To carry on again
