Carefully — Ben Platt

[Intro]
Fmaj7   C   Am   G


[Verse 1]
                  Fmaj7
I always found it funny
          C
That your favorite part of a movie
    Am                               G
Was trying to guess the end before I could
                      Fmaj7
I should have seen it coming
      C
But I got so lost in the story
       Am                      G
It was over long before I understood


[Pre-Chorus]
    Fmaj7                        Am
And I can't stop your storm from rollin' in

And wrecking things
    C                     G
But shelter me until it's through
    Fmaj7                      Am
And all this time you've had a gentle way of holding me
   C                                    G
So could you please release me that way too?


[Chorus]
            Fmaj7
'Cause it's okay to say goodbye
            C
Some things live, but all things die
              Am                                   G
And I can let Go of all of the things I hoped we'd be
            Fmaj7
And I don't need the reasons why
               C
'Cause we both know how hard wе tried
          Am                                      G
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need
                 Fmaj7     C             Am      G
Brеak it carefully,         break it carefully


[Verse 2]
                           Fmaj7
Well, don't you think it's funny?
          C
That I'm asking you for your mercy
      Am                                 G
After all the nights you asked me for a dance
                  Fmaj7
I guess I'm kinda lucky
        Cmaj7  C
That we got so close to the real thing
        Am                        G
When so many never even get the chance


[Pre-Chorus]
    Fmaj7                        Am
And I can't stop your storm from rollin' in

And wrecking things
    C                     G
But shelter me until it's through
    Fmaj7                      Am
And all this time you've had a gentle way of holding me
   C                                    G
So could you please release me that way too?


[Chorus]
            Fmaj7
'Cause it's okay to say goodbye
            C
Some things live, but all things die
              Am                                   G
And I can let Go of all of the things I hoped we'd be
            Fmaj7
And I don't need the reasons why
               C
'Cause we both know how hard wе tried
          Am                                      G
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need

Brеak it carefully


[Bridge]
              Fmaj7
I could leave all this behind me
             C
If I could remember you kindly
              Am
I could leave all this behind me
             G
If I could remember you kindly
                  Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             C
If I could remember you kindly
                  Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             G
If I could remember you kindly
                  Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             C
If I could remember you kindly
                  Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             G
If I could remember you kindly
                  Fmaj7
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             C
If I could remember you kindly
                  Am
Oh, I could leave all this behind me
             G
If I could remember you kindly

Fmaj7   C


[Outro]
          Am                                      G
If coming apart and breaking my heart is what you need
               Fmaj7   C               Am    G
Break it carefully,    break it carefully
