Em
   It's been a while since the two of us talked
Em7   
   About a week since the day you walked
C
   Knowing things would never be the same

   With your empty heart and mine full of pain


Em                                  Em7
   So explain to me, how it came to this

   Take it back to the night we kissed
          C
   It was Dublin city on a Friday night
            D                      Em7
   You were vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night 


[Pre-Chorus]

Em
   We were sitting with our backs against the world
                                     C
   Saying things that we thought but never heard
   D
   Who would have thought it would end up like this?
   

Em
   Where everything we talked about is gone 
Em7                               D
   And the only chance we have of moving on 

   Is try to take it back 
                      C
   Before it all went wrong 


[Chorus]

           D                Em
Before the worst, before we mend 
           Em7 
Before our hearts decide
                   C
It's time to love again 
           D                Em
Before too late, before too long 
                     Em7
Let's try to take it back 
                   Em
Before it all went wrong 


[Verse 2]

Em
   There was a time, that we'd stay up all night
Em7
   Best friends talking till the daylight 
C 
   Took the joys alongside the pain

   With not much to loose, but so much to gain


Em                                     Em7
   Are hearing me? Cause I don't wanna miss,

   Set you a drift on memory bliss 
          C
   It was Grafton Street on a rainy night (ooh)
         D                             Em7
   I was down on one knee and you were mine for life 

 
[Pre-Chorus]

Em
   We were sitting with our backs against the world
                                     C
   Saying things that we thought but never heard
   D
   Who would have thought it would end up like this?
  
 
Em
   Where everything we talked about is gone 
Em7                               D
   And the only chance we have of moving on 

   Is try to take it back 
                      C
   Before it all went wrong 


[Chorus]

C          D                Em
Before the worst, before we mend 
           Em7 
Before our hearts decide
                   C
It's time to love again 
           D                Em
Before too late, before too long 
                     Em7
Let's try to take it back 
                   Em
Before it all went wrong 


[Bridge]

C                   Em
If the clouds don't clear
                 D
Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it whoa
C                   Em 
Heaven's gate is so near
               D
Come walk with me through 
                                           
Just like we use to, just like we use to yeah


C   D   Em   Em7  
             Yeah

C   D
             

                     D
Let's try to take it back 
                   C
Before it all went wrong


[Chorus]

C          D                Em
Before the worst, before we mend 
           Em7 
Before our hearts decide
                   C
It's time to love again 
           D                Em
Before too late, before too long 
                     Em7
Let's try to take it back 
                   Em
Before it all went wrong (it all went wrong)


C   D   Em   Em7   (x2)


C                       D
   Let's try to take it back 
                   C
Before it all went wrong.
