Standard tuning.  Stanza is more like C/F and C/G
plucked from strings 2 to 5 instead of chords
FM7 and Gsus.

Intro: FM7-G6(sus)-2x

      FM7                       Gsus
A strangled smile fell from your face
      FM7                      G6(sus)
It kills me that I hurt you this way
       FM7                          Gsus
The worst part is that I didn’t even know
               Am                   G   D
Now there’s a million reasons for you to go
Am                                 F
But if you can find a reason to stay

Chorus:
                      C                    Em  
I’ll do whatever it takes to turn this around
                    Am                            FM7
I know what’s at stake, I know that I’ve let you down
                        C                         Em
And if you give me a chance, believe that I can change…
                 Am                FM7
I’ll keep us together whatever it takes

               FM7               Gsus
She said if we’re gonna make this work
            FM7                        G6sus
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
                    FM7                  G6sus 
Don’t hide the broken parts that I need to see
                    Am                           D
She said like it or not it’s the way it’s gotta be…
          Am                             G   FM7
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me

Chorus:
                      C                    Em
I’ll do whatever it takes, to turn this around
                  Am                              FM7
I know what’s at stake, I know that I’ve let you down
                        C                   Em
And if you give me a chance, and give me a break
               Am                              G
I’ll keep us together, I know you... deserve this much better

Bridge:
         F                          C             G  
But remember the time I told you the way that I felt…
        F                            C         G
That I’d be lost without you and never find myself
  F                                 C        G
Let’s hold onto each other above everything else
 Dm           F
Start over, start over

Chorus:
                   C                      Gm
I’ll do whatever it takes, to turn this around
                   F
I know what’s at stake, I know I’ve let you down
                       C                              Em
And if you give me a chance, and believe that I can change
                Am                  FM7-G6sus-(2x)-FM7
I’ll keep us together, whatever it takes...
