Tone: [G]
Capo: 1
Verse:
[G]You look older than I [D]remember
[G]And I guess that some of [C]that wear may be my fault
And I [G]can’t quite figure out which [C]fight had been our last
Or if that one even [D]mattered much at a[C]all
[C]Disillusioned as snow[G]snow angels who thought their wings were permanent
In s[C]seclusion you were faithful or at least hid your finer print
How d[G]dumb I was in hindsight to think that I could really know
Much of anything ab[C]about anything though
Chorus 1:
And does b[G]being in the Los Angeles bring me to mind?
And does wine and [C]Billie Holiday still make you cry?
When you c[G]call is it to open up a door to better days?
Or is it sim[C]simple as the way you wanna say
“Are you ok[G]okay?”
Verse 2:
An em[G]empty cup can’t fill another
Why did tha[C]that take us so long to figure out?
There were [G]sides of you where I swore "I could love her"
But to love takes s[C]so much more than knowing how
And I’m s[G]still in that apartment where we were big kids playing house
Where we b[C]bought the cups and curtains to imitate settling down
And I [G]kept some of our pictures and I wear my birthday watch
To remind me of the man I'm glad I'm not
Chorus 2:
[G]Does your new boyfriend know how much I s[D]still mean to you?
Do you change some of the details for a more convenient truth?[C]truth?
[C]Can he translate how you [G]hold his hand into levels of your pain[Bm]pain?
Does he know to ask des[D]despite what you may say?
Are[C]Are you okay?
Bridge:
You’re a c[G]child on an airplane, you fear what’s out of your control
And you lo[C]love New York 'cause it was somewhere else for you to go
And you d[G]dyed your hair so you could look your mirror in the eyes
And pretend she’s s[C]someone you don’t recognize
Chorus 3:
So it’s [G]time to lose my number and let the past be where we stay
[B]When you’ve had too much to [D]drink again s[C]someone else can hold your waist
[D]We were [G]never quite as good as how [D]your memory r[G]replays
And I don’t[C]don’t owe you no answer when [D]you say
[G]“Are you okay?” [C]
[G]“Are you okay? ” [C]
