Verse 1
You hid (G major) me in your dorm room
It was Halloweekend, I just flew
(E minor) across the globe
Twenty-two hours hours just to see you
Just to (C major) barely fit on your twin-sized bed
bed
And talk about your cool new friend
Who I never (D major) met,
Verse 2
who you dated as soon as I left
(G major) Carolina autumn
It had been a year since I saw you
Since we (E minor) ended it
Had a year to grow into the
girl you always wanted
Now we're (C major) holding hands
as not quite friends
But not quite lovers
Well, we'll just pretend
You say, "It's complicated (D major)
to make amends"
Well, is that (Dsus4) the way (D major) that
we're headed (Dsus4) then? (D major) (C major)

Verse 3
And you couldn't answer (C major) me
Though you could (E minor) pull me in
while I brushed my teeth
And (G major) let your hands both freely speak
Like I wasn't (D major) ever gonna leave, leave
Verse 4
(C major) You were all I'd ever known (G major)
And now I'm supposed to
love (E minor) you from a distance
Like it's nothing, (D major) like it's instant
And (C major) you say,
"Let's just see where this goes" (G major)
And I don't know how or (A minor)
why you seem just (E minor) fine
(A minor) 'Cause I'm hav (E minor) ing to grasp that
you're somehow not mine (F major) anymore
It's (C major) so cruel how things are only
almost like they were before
(G major)
Verse 5
Like they were before (A minor)
Like they were before (E minor)
Like they were before (C major)
Verse 6
We (C major) (G major) walk downtown and
it's charming
You're alarmingly disarming
Yeah, we've (C major) got forty-eight (E minor)
hours hours (C major) (E minor) left
Before I fly back to my death
While you stay (C major) just fine and feel alive
South of the Mason-Dixon line
line
Where everyone (G major) (Dsus4) closes (D major) shop (G major) at nine (D major)
Where you could somehow finally find
Verse 7
What (C major) you were desperately looking for
Funny (E minor) how you thought that
was gonna be New York
With (G major) our chalkboard walls
and slanted floors
Oh, (D major) we could've had that
and so much more
Ask (E minor) your new lover what
it's like to be given
A real (G major) fighting chance before you wish her,
"Good riddance"
Did anything (C major) ever really count
Or was (D major) I just a two-year
practice practice round?
Verse 8
You (C major) were all I'd ever known (G major)
And now I'm feeling stu (E minor) pid,
you're forbidden
They say, yeah, (D major) we were something,
too bad we were children
Ooh, (C major) I don't know where to go (G major)
And I don't know how or (A minor)
why you seem just fine
'Cause I'm look (E minor) ing at you and God
knows you're not mine (F major) anymore
It's (C major) so cruel how things will never
be the way they were before (G major)
Verse 9
(G major) Like they were be (A minor) fore
It's almost (E minor) just like how it was before (C major)
But it's not anymore
(G major)
before
