Kunci: Bb

[Verse 1]
        Bb
You hid me in your dorm room, it was Halloweekend
                  Gm
I just flew across the globe, 22 hours just to see you
              Eb
Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed

And talk about your cool new friend
           F
Who I never met, who you dated as soon as I left

[Verse 2]
Bb
Carolina autumn, it had been a year since I saw ya
                Gm
Since we ended it, had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
                   Eb
Now we're holding hands

As not quite friends, but not quite lovers

Well, we'll just pretend
                        F
You say, "It's complicated to make amends"

Well, is that the way that we're head?d, then?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Eb
And you couldn't answer me
                              Gm
Though you could pull m? in while I brushed my teeth
       Bb
And let your hands both freely speak
            F
Like I wasn't ever gonna leave

[Chorus]
Eb                                Bb
You were all I'd ever known
                                         Gm
And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance
                  F
Like it's nothing, like it's instant
        Eb                                                   Bb
And you say, "Let's just see where this goes"
                                   Cm
And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
                 Gm                                                                       Ab
'Cause I'm havin' to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore
Gm                      Eb                                                        Bb
It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before

[Post]

(Ah, ah, ah)
                          Cm
Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)
                          Gm
Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)
                          Eb
Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 3]
Bb
We walk downtown and it's charming

You're alarmingly disarming
                   Gm
Yeah, we've got 48 hours left before I fly back to my death
                 Eb
While you stay just fine and feel alive

South of the Mason-Dixon line
              F
Where everyone closes shop at 9

Where you could somehow finally find

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Eb
What you were desperately looking for
  Gm
Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York
                  Bb
With our 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
    Bb
A real fighting chance before you wish her, "Good riddance"
        Eb                                            F
Did anything ever really count, or was I just a two-year practice round?

[Chorus]
Eb                                Bb
You were all I'd ever known
                                  Gm
And now I'm feeling stupid, you're forbidden
                       F
They say yeah we were something, too bad we were children
Eb                                      Bb
Oh, I don't know where to go
                                   Cm
And I don't know how or why you seem just fine
                  Gm                                                                      Ab
'Cause I'm lookin' at you and God knows you're not mine anymore
Gm                          Eb                                                         Bb
It's so cruel how things will never be the way they were before

[Outro]

(Ah, ah, ah)
                           Cm
Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)
                 Gm                               Eb
It's almost just like how it was before (Ah, ah, ah)
                             Bb
But it's not anymore
