Tempo: Slow, emotional (around 65 BPM)
[Intro]
C – G – Am – F
[Verse 1]
C G
I gave you all the light I had
Am F
Hoping you'd hold it in your hands
C G
But you just watched it flicker out
Am F
Like it never meant a thing somehow
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
I stayed when it got cold
F C
You left like it was nothing at all
Dm Am
Now every night, I lie awake
F G
Wishing I could make you stay
[Chorus]
C G
I wish you could love me like I loved you
Am F
Feel the fire I walked through
C G
I was all in, heart so true
Am F
But I was never enough for you
Dm Am
You were my sky, my every hue
F G
Now I'm just fading, missing you
C G
Oh, I wish you could love me like I loved you
[Instrumental]
Am – F – C – G
[Verse 2]
C G
You smiled like I meant the world
Am F
Said the words I longed to hear
C G
But I could feel the silence grow
Am F
Every time you pulled me near
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
You took the best of me
F C
And left behind a memory
Dm Am
Now all I have is empty space
F G
And the ghost of your embrace
[Chorus]
C G
I wish you could love me like I loved you
Am F
Feel the fire I walked through
C G
I was all in, heart so true
Am F
But I was never enough for you
Dm Am
You were my sky, my every hue
F G
Now I'm just fading, missing you
C G
Oh, I wish you could love me like I loved you
[Bridge]
Am G
Maybe in another life
F C
We would’ve got it right
Am G
But this one left me torn
F G
And you don’t miss me anymore
[Final Chorus – soft, build up]
C G
I wish you could love me like I loved you
Am F
Feel the fire I walked through
C G
I was all in, heart so
But I was never enough for you
You were my sky, my every
Now I'm just fading, missing you
Oh, I wish you could love me...
Like I loved you
