God knows. I tried,
Tried to hold you with all my might
But time has won,
And I could never be that strong.
Chorus
[G][C](Don't cry) [G]I [D]couldn't be that strong,
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Fill my eyes whenever we meet,
A G (On the A they hit 3rd and 4th fret on the A
string also here)
It's always bittersweet.
Verse
[D]I [G]cut and [C]I [G]bleed.
You seem to find that so hard to believe!
That's just too, too bad.
You could never touch the love that we had.
Chorus
[D][G](Don't [C]cry) [G]For the love we had,
(Don't cry) Sometimes we try to take it back.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Kiss my cheeks whenever we meet.
A G (On the A they hit 3rd and 4th fret on the
A string also here)
It's always bittersweet.

Anyway...
Verse
[E][A]We've [D]grown [A]and times change.
When we meet now it feels so strange.
I hold you like a sword
You won't cut me like you did before.
It's always bittersweet.
