Verse 1
(C sharp major) We (C sharpsus4) (F sharp major) (D sharp minor) (F sharp major) (C sharp major) (F sharp major) (D sharp minor)
(F sharp major) went back to (C sharp major) the shore (F sharp major) (C sharp major)
For the crash of the waves
I love that (F sharp major) sound and the curi (C sharp major) ous
(G sharpsus4) com (C sharp major) fort we found (F sharp major) in each other
Just like (C sharp major) we did back in (F sharp major) the day (C sharp major)
Verse 2
And the crackling cloud (F sharp major) s
Of a storm out at sea (C sharp major)
And you broke me down just by
leaning a little bit closer to me
And yet still somehow leaning away

Verse 3
Well, nobody told (D sharp minor) me
(B major) Just how badly I'd (F sharp major) grieve (C sharp major)
That I'd dig through my past (D sharp minor)
That I'd keep looking back (B major)
To find out (F sharp major) who I wanted to (C sharp major) be
Verse 4
(F sharp major) Have I forgotten
How I let (C sharp major) myself feel?
How the slightest (B major) inflections
(C sharp major) Were (F sharp major) like cuts (C sharp major) that don't heal? (F sharp major) (C sharp major)
Verse 5
And (F sharp major) don't be mistaken
That was true, (C sharp major) (C sharpsus4) I (C sharp major) be lieve (F sharp major)
I was something, (B major) I swear it (D sharp minor)
Before life (C sharp major) got the better of
me
(F sharp major) (D sharp minor) (F sharp major) (D sharp minor)
Verse 6
I think I know (C sharp major) how you felt (F sharp major) (C sharp major)
I didn't know how to leave
(F sharp major) But looking (C sharp major) back (F sharp major) it was easy (C sharp major) to
think you'd (F sharp major) be better (C sharp major) off
But I shouldn't have (F sharp major) left you that (C sharp major) way
Verse 7
Without saying it right (F sharp major)
Or even saying it wrong (C sharp major)
I just moved on, (F sharp major)
ripped you out (D sharp minor) of my chest
And I picked up and left
And just (C sharp major) like a ghost I was gone
Verse 8
Well, nobody told (D sharp minor) me
(B major) Come on, kid, take your time (F sharp major)
(C sharp major) Don't go rushing too (D sharp minor) fast
'Cause if you lose your path (B major)
It's (F sharp major) gonna be so hard to find
Verse 9
(F sharp major) Have I forgotten
How I let (C sharp major) myself feel?
(F sharp major) How the slightest (B major) inflections
(F sharp major) Were like cuts (C sharp major) that don't heal?
Verse 10
And (F sharp major) don't be mistaken
That was true, I believe
I was (D sharp minor) something, I swear it
Before life (C sharp major) got the better of me (F sharp major)
Verse 11
Life is hard (B major)
Just a series (D sharp minor) of battle scars (F sharp major)
(C sharpsus4) From some fight (C sharp major) s we (F sharp major) won
And some fights we (B major) lost
In a (D sharp minor) war that we never signed (F sharp major) on (C sharp major) for
(D sharp minor) We keep holding our head (B major) s high
(D sharp minor) Or hold each other and just (C sharpsus4) cry
And (C sharp major) nobody's (F sharp major) (B major) wrong
And no lines are drawn
And everyone's here
(B minor) And nobody's gone
Verse 12
I was something, (F sharp major) I swear it
Before life got the better
Before (D sharp minor) life (B major) got the better
(F sharp major) Before life (B major) got (C sharp major) the better (F sharp major) (B major) of me
Outro 1
(F sharp major) (A sharp minor) (C sharp major) (D sharp minor) (F sharp major)
(B major) (F sharp major) (A sharp minor) (C sharp major) (B major) (D sharp minor) (F sharp major)
(D sharp minor) (F sharp major) (D sharp minor) (F sharp major) (D sharp minor) (F sharp major)
(D sharp minor)
