[C]Maybe one day I won’t sing about you
I’ll sing a song about [G]someone [Am]new
[C]But right here, right now, you are on my mind
And I think [G]about you all the [Am]time


[Dm]I’m sending a message to you
And [G]I’m hoping that it will get through


When it was [C]good, it was bittersweet, honey
You made me [C]sad ’til I [E7]loved the shade of [Am]blue
I know you [C]don’t want to [E7]talk to me, so [Am]this is what I will [F]do
Maybe you’re [C]listening, so here’s [G]one last song for [C]you
Here’s [G]one last song for [C]you


And I [C]hope it makes you feel
And I [C]hope it makes you burn
[C]And I hope it re[G]minds you of how much it [Am]hurt


[Dm]I’m sending a message to you
And [G]I’m hoping that it will get through


When it was [C]good, it was bittersweet, honey
You made me [C]sad ’til I [E7]loved the shade of [Am]blue
I know you [C]don’t want to [E7]talk to me, so [Am]this is what I will [F]do
Maybe you’re [C]listening, so here’s [G]one last song for [C]you
Here’s [G]one last song for [C]you


[Am]In case you h[G]ear this, then k[C]now you’re the love of my life [F]
Want to [Am]tell you I’m [G]sorry, I [C]miss having you by my [F]side [D7]
When you [G]were mine


When it was [C]good, it was bittersweet, honey
You made me [C]sad ’til I [E7]loved the shade of [Am]blue
I know you [C]don’t want to [E7]talk to me, so [Am]this is what I will [F]do
Maybe you’re [C]listening, so here’s [G]one last song for [C]you
Here’s [G]one last song for [C]you
