(Verse 1)

D

I remember how you laughed in the morning light

G

Coffee in your hand, hair falling just right

D

I swore to God I’d never need another thing

A

You were my reason, you were

(Verse 2)

D

We talked about forever like it couldn’t fade

G

Built our little world in the plans we made

Em

I put my faith in every word you’d say

A

Never thought your love could walk away

(Chorus)

G

And I thought you were all I’d ever need

A

Every breath, every prayer, every dream in me

D

But time has a way of setting things free

Bm

Now I see…

G

You weren’t everything

A

You weren’t everything

D

No… you weren’t everything

(Verse 3)

D

Now the silence hums where your voice would be

G

And the nights feel longer than they used to be

D

But there’s a strange kind of peace I’ve come to know

A

In letting go of what I couldn’t hold

(Bridge)

Em

Maybe I was looking through a hopeful heart

A

Seeing only light, missing all the dark

D

Maybe love ain’t meant to be that way

Bm

Maybe it’s not meant to stay

G

I thought you were all I’d ever need

A

Every breath, every prayer, every dream in me

D

But losing you showed a different side of me

Bm

Now I see…

(Final Chorus)

G

You weren’t everything

A

You weren’t everything

D

No… you weren’t everything

(Outro (very soft, almost spoken)

D

No… you weren’t everything

G

Just the world I couldn’t see beyond

D

Now I’m walking on my own again

A → D

And I’m learning… I’m not alone
