There, is not a single word,

In the whole world

How were you to know
B
Oh how were you to know

And I,
I hate to see your heart break
ABC#m
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
AC#mB
But Iʼve been there before
E
And I,
I hate to see your heart break
ABC#m
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
AC#mB
But Iʼve been there before

E
Love,
C#m
Happens all the time
E
To people who arenʼt kind,

Expecting perfect scripted movies scenes

Who wants an awkward silent mystery (?)
A
How were you to know

Oh how were you to know

Oh how are you to know
(How are you to know)
B
Oh how are you to know
