Budding Romance Lyrics and Chords
[Verse 1]
F#
I was given a chance at a budding romance
D#m
But cowered away and took a defensive stance
B
I don’t know what to say
C# F#
I don’t know how to play this game
[Verse 2]
F#
I said don’t jump the gun, you know true love will come
D#m
Even the early bird waits for the sun
B
I don’t know what to feel
C# F#
Maybe true love just isn’t for everyone
Bb D#m
[Chorus]
Bb
I can’t say I’ve lost
B
I can’t say I’ve gained
F#
Cause every possession has only remained
Bb
I wish I could lose
B
Something so dear
C# F#
At least then I’d know there was a time it was here
[Bridge]
(Repeat F#)
F# D#m
And I, I thought I was a scholar
B
Withdrawn from love
D# G#m
Why would I even bother
F#
But no one called my bluff
D#m
I let my novel rust
B
My heart was here wasting away in this constant decay
G#m C#
Half lives passing by day by day
[Chorus]
I can’t say I’ve lost
B
I can’t say I’ve gained
F#
Cause every possession has only remained
Bb
I wish I could lose
B
Something so dear
C# F#
At least then I’d know there was a time it was here
[Verse 1]
F#
I was given a chance at a budding romance
D#m
But cowered away and took a defensive stance
B
I don’t know what to say
C# F#
I don’t know how to play this game
[Verse 2]
F#
I said don’t jump the gun, you know true love will come
D#m
Even the early bird waits for the sun
B
I don’t know what to feel
C# F#
Maybe true love just isn’t for everyone
