Intro
[Em] [D]
[Verse}
[Em] [D]
Tiny little words
[Em] [D]
Cutting through my skin
[Em] [D]
Papercuts at first
[C] [Bm]
But knife wounds in the end
[Em] [D]
Gave you a second chance
[Em] [D]
And you wasted it away
[Em] [D]
Did you think that it was easy
[C] [Bm]
Giving my heart back away
[Prechorus]
[Em] [G]
Cause you took it And you broke it
[Am] [C]
And I mended and I bended
[Em]
And you shattered all the pieces
[Am]
I presented open ended
Chorus
[D] [Em] [G] [D]
And I tried To forgive you but I can't
[D] [Em] [G] [D]
Denial I wanted to pretend
[Em]
That we weren't broken That we could make it
[G]
The risk I took that I could take it
[Em]
All these nights you left me hollow
[G]
It'd be okay by tomorrow
[Postchorus]
[D]
And I shouldn't have believed you
[Em]
when you said you'd changed
[C]
Cause all that really led me
[Em]
to a second heart break
[D] [Em]
I tried to hold on for as long as I could
[C]
And now all I have left are would be's and shoulds
[D] [Em] [D] [Em] [D]
And those Tiny little words
Verse
[Em] [D]
Tiny little words
[Em] [D]
Cutting through my skin
[Em] [D]
Papercuts at first
[C] [Bm]
Knife wounds in the end
[Em] [D]
I said that I would leave you
[Em] [D]
If you messed this one up
[Em] [D]
Guess you thought I was joking
[C] [Bm]
The first time wasn't enough
[Prechorus]
[Em] [Em/G]
All these problems You could fix them
[Am]
But you chose to dismiss them
[Em] [Em/G]
Was the problem the distance
[Am]
Or the timing did we miss it
Chorus
[D] [Em] [G] [D]
Was I The only one who cared
[D] [Em] [G] [D]
Pushed aside You thought 'd always be there
[Em]
When you had issues When you didn't listen
[G]
When you didn't make the right decisions
[Em]
You thought my heart that you had stolen
[G]
Would still be yours even when it was broken
[Postchorus]
[D] [Em]
And I can't help that everywhere I look I see your face
[C] [Em]
Four years of my life is kinda hard to erase
[D] [Em]
And I can't move on can't seem to forget
[C] [Em]
All the things you did that made my heart forfeit
[D] [Em]
And I can't say I don't miss you but I don't regret
[C] [Em]
That leaving you behind was my best decision yet
[D] [Em]
Sometimes I wish you were here but I'll never go back
[C]
To loving you alone draining me to I collapse
[D] [Em] [D]
With those Tiny little words
