[Intro] [steel-string acoustic guitar enters with alternating thumb bass pattern] [syncopated melody line with hammer-ons] [Main Theme] [steady 4/4 folk picking pattern] [descending bass walk-down] [sustained G major chord ring out] Verse 1 Fm7 We were counting wins like keeping score was life D Every little difference turned into a fight G Words like weapons, cutting just to prove Fm7 Who was right, who would win, who would never lose Fm7 I remember slamming doors to make my case D Turning love into a courtroom face to face G Now the echoes linger louder than before Fm7 But I don’t hear the reasons anymore Pre-Chorus Em All those lines we drew in the sand G Slip right through your hands Chorus D It doesn’t matter… who was wrong or right G All those endless arguments we held so tight Fm7 Now they drift like smoke I can’t quite gather D It doesn’t matter… it doesn’t matter D It doesn’t matter… every point I made G Every harsh word hanging in the air we made Fm7 When the silence comes, there’s nothing sadder D All you’ve got is love… live in the latter Verse 2 Fm7 I can see your face in the things I said D Little fires burning where the warmth had been G Every moment lost to being understood Fm7 When I should’ve just held you like I could Fm7 We were so convinced we had to win D Never seeing what we’re losing in the end G Now I’d trade every word I threw away Fm7 For one more chance to let it fade Pre-Chorus Em All those walls we built so high G Never asking why Chorus D It doesn’t matter… who was wrong or right G All those endless arguments we held so tight Fm7 Now they drift like smoke I can’t quite gather D It doesn’t matter… it doesn’t matter D It doesn’t matter… all the things we said G All the restless nights replaying in my head Fm7 When the final truth comes walking through the door D You don’t keep score anymore Bridge (emotional lift, sparse at first) G If I could go back, I’d let you win D Let the silence say what love had been Fm7 All the time we lost to pride and anger G Was the only thing that really mattered (build slightly, breath in vocal) Em Now I stand here, nothing left to prove G Just a fragile heart and the truth I never used Final Chorus (peak, harmonies bloom) D It doesn’t matter… who was wrong or right G All those endless arguments we held so tight Fm7 Now they fade like words we couldn’t gather D It doesn’t matter… it doesn’t matter D It doesn’t matter… all I thought I knew G Every broken moment I put you through Fm7 With trembling before your hands, I see it clearer D All you’ve got is love… live in the latter
