I Guess It Wasn't Meant To Be

Verse 1
C G
I thought we had it all,
Am F
A fire burning strong and tall.
C G
But somewhere down the line,
Am F
We lost the rhythm, lost the rhyme.
Pre-Chorus
Dm Am
Now I’m standing in the empty light,
G F
Watching memories fade out of sight.

Chorus
C G
I guess it wasn’t meant to be,
Am F
Some things aren’t ours to see.
C G
We tried so hard to make it right,
Am F
But we drifted in the night.
Dm G
So I'll let go, and set you free,
F C
I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

Verse 2
C G
I still hear your voice at times,
Am F
Echoing in these lonesome lines.
C G
Every laugh and every tear,
Am F
Fades like smoke that disappears.
Pre-Chorus
Dm Am
Though it hurts to walk away,
G F
I know there’s nothing left to say.

Chorus
C G
I guess it wasn’t meant to be,
Am F
Some things aren’t ours to see.
C G
We tried so hard to make it right,
Am F
But we drifted in the night.
Dm G
So I'll let go, and set you free,
F C
I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

Bridge
Dm Am
All the promises we swore to keep,
G F
Now lie broken in a quiet heap.
Dm Am
But I’ll remember what we had,
G F
The good with the heartache, happy and sad.

Chorus
C G
I guess it wasn’t meant to be,
Am F
Some things aren’t ours to see.
C G
We tried so hard to make it right,
Am F
But we drifted in the night.
Dm G
So I'll let go, and set you free,
F C
I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

Outro
C G
Maybe someday, we’ll understand,
Am F
Why some things slip right through our hands.
C G
But until then, I'll just agree,
Am F C
I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
