I hope this is close to correct. I think it’s in the right key, the outro may however
on the C# rather than the D# (move it all back two frets), and I didn’t listen to the
change in the interlude, so Dan’s chords are missing there.

Verse 1:
B
From the littlest things
C#
and the pain that it brings
E
down to the things you miss the most
D# F#
but you wont let yourself go
E
No you wont let yourself
B C#
Cause time and time again
E
You feel the load a little more
D# F#
But if you let yourself go
E
Then we wont hit that road
Verse 2:
Cause I cant see the sky
But its yours to be seen
If you can let yourself go
If you can let yourself
Chorus:
B
But is this the time
F#
Is this the place?
G#m
And "is the the end?"
E
is all I can say
B F#
I promise I never meant to turn you away
E B
Why did you trust me with you heart?
Verse 2:
So consider the things
and the pain that it brings
Down to the things you miss the most
And if you let yourself go
the next thing you know
Cuz I have seen this guy
He's looking at me
Yeah and he thinks I'm something else
So you can walk yourself home
Yeah you can go
Interlude:
Even though,
you waited,
I know you can begin on your own,
you can begin on your own...
Chorus 2:
But is this the time
Is this the place?
And "is the the end?" is all I can say
I promise I never meant to turn you away
Why did you trust me with you heart?
Outro:
I promise I never meant to turn you away,
Why did you trust me with your heart?
