CI fell by the wayside, like everyone Amelse
AmI hate you, I Dhate you, I hate Amyou
AmBut I was just kidding myself
AmOur Fevery moment, I start to replace
F'Cause now that Gthey're gone
GAll I hear are the words that I needed to say
GWhen you hurt Cunder the surface
CLike troubled water Amrunning cold
AmWell, time can Dmheal, but Fthis won't
FCSo, Gbefore Cyou go
CWas there Gsomething I could've Csaid
CTo make your heart beat better?
CIf Amonly I'd have known you had a storm to weather
AmSo, Fbefore you go
FWas Cthere something I could've said
CTo Gmake it all stop Churting?
CIt kills me how your mind can Ammake you feel so worthless
AmSo, Fbefore you go
FWas never Gthe right time, whenever you Ccalled
CWent little, by little, by little until there was nothing at all
COur every moment, I start to Amreplay
AmBut all I Dmcan think about is Dseeing that look on Cyour face
CWhen Fyou hurt under the surface
FLike Gtroubled water running cold
GCWell, time can heal, but this won't
CAmSo, Cbefore Fyou go
CWas there something GI could've said
GTo make your heart beat Cbetter?
CIf only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
GSo, Cbefore you Amgo
AmWas there something I Fcould've said
FTo make it all stop hurting?
FIt Ckills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
CSo, Gbefore you Cgo
CAmWould we be better off by now
AmIf I'd Flet my walls come down?
FMaybe, I guess Gwe'll never know
GYou know, you Amknow
AmFBefore Cyou Ggo
GWas there something I Amcould've said
AmTo make your Fheart beat better?
FIf only I'd have Gknown you had a storm to weather

How to play Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 3 you play C, Am, D, F, G, Dm, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has four main chords: D#, Cm, A# and G#. It also catches F and Fm in passing, and you can leave those out at first. All of them are usually barre chords, so check whether a capo gives you easier shapes. The change you will play most is A# to D#, 10 times in the chart, so practise that one first.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
