C        Am           C
I waited up for your call
         f                    C
But the phone don't ring no more
          Am                C         F
Tell me, love, where you been?
 C                  Am
I've climbed the walls
             C               F
Probably more times than I've done before
 C       Am           C        F
Can't erase everything


[Pre-Chorus]
                 C         Am                C
Maybe I was chasing something that wasn't there
          F              C               Am           C      F
And I know I left you waiting but I swear I always cared


[Chorus]
            C    Am       C       F
'Cause you matter, you matter to me
          C    Am        C        F
I will treasure every memory I keep
        C                   Am
And I hate the man that I've become
     C                F
I'm praying you can see
          C    Am      C       F
That you matter, it matters to me


[Verse 2]
  C        Am           C
Left you alone in the cold
              F           C
When you needed me the most
           Am             C       F
Broken hearts needed mending
C          Am                  C
I always thought you'd come back
            F                         C
I guess karma slipped through the cracks
             Am               C
Now it's flowers that I'm sending


[Pre-Chorus]
    F           C        Am                  c
Maybe I was chasing something that wasn't there
        F                C            Am              C           F
And I know I left you waiting but I swear I always cared


[Chorus]
          C    Am       C       F
'Cause you matter, you matter to me
         C    Am       C       F
I will treasure every memory I keep
       C                   Am
And I hate the man that I've become
        C              F
I'm praying you can see
         C    Am       C         F
That you matter, it matters to me


[Bridge]
         C    Am           C    F
And it's likely that you moved on
       C                         Am
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
 C                     F
All that I wanted to say is


[Chorus]
    C    Am        C       F
You matter, you matter to me
         C    Am         C        F
I will treasure every memory I keep
        C                    Am
And I hate the man that I've become
        C              F
I'm praying you can see
          C   Am              C      F
That you matter, that you matter to me
