Tone: [Bb]
Verse 1:
You [Bb]hid me in your dorm room, it was Halloweekend
I just flew ac[Gm]across the globe, 22 hours just to see you
Just to [Eb]barely fit on your twin-sized bed
And talk about your cool new friend
Who I [F]never met, who you dated as soon as I left
Verse 2:
[Bb]Carolina autumn, it had been a year since I saw ya
Since we [Gm]ended it, had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
Now we're [Eb]holding hands
As not quite friends, but not quite lovers
Well, we'll just pretend
You say, "It's [F]complicated to make amends"
Well, is that the way that we're headеd, then?
Pre-Chorus 1:
[Eb]And you couldn't answer me
Though you could [Gm]pull mе in while I brushed my teeth
And [Bb]let your hands both freely speak
Like I [F]wasn't ever gonna leave
Chorus:
[Eb]You were all I'd ever [Bb]known
And now I'm supposed to [Gm]love you from a distance
Like it's [F]nothing, like it's instant
And [Eb]you say, "Let's just see where this [Bb]goes"
And I don't know how [Cm]or why you seem just fine
'Cause I'm h[Gm]havin' to grasp that you're somehow not mine [Ab]anymore
I[Gm]It's so cruel how t[Eb]things are only almost like they were [Bb]before
Post:
-Ah, ah, ah-
Like they were [Cm]before -Ah, ah, ah-
Like they were [Gm]before -Ah, ah, ah-
Like they were [Eb]before -Ah, ah, ah-
Verse 3:
[Bb]We walk downtown and it's charming
You're alarmingly disarming
Yeah, we've [Gm]got 48 hours left before I fly back to my death
While you [Eb]stay just fine and feel alive
South of the Mason-Dixon line
Where [F]everyone closes shop at 9
Where you could somehow finally find
Pre-Chorus 2:
[Eb]What you were desperately looking for
F[Gm]Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
With our ch[Bb]chalkboard walls and slanted floors
[F]Oh, we could've had that and so much more
[Gm]Ask your new lover what it's like to be given
a [Bb]real fighting chance before you wish her, "Good riddance"
Did a[Eb]anything ever really count, or [F]was I just a two-year practice round?
Chorus:
[Eb]You were all I'd ever [Bb]known
And now I'm feeling s[Gm]stupid, you're forbidden
They say yeah [F]we were something, too bad we were children
[Eb]Oh, I don't know where to [Bb]go
And I don't know how [Cm]or why you seem just fine
'Cause I'm [Gm]lookin' at you and God knows you're not mine a[Ab]anymore
[Gm]It's so cruel how thin[Eb]things will never be the way they were befo[Bb]before
Outro:
-Ah, ah, ah-
Like they were [Cm]before -Ah, ah, ah-
It's almost [Gm]just like how it was befor[Eb]before -Ah, ah, ah-
But it's not anymore[Bb]anymore
