Verse 1:
 E minorEm         C majorC           G+G         D MajorD
I'm not supposed to be thinking 'bout you, lying here in this bed
  E minorEm            C majorC
Too much has gone wrong and we should move on
 G+G         D MajorD
That's what we both said
     E minorEm          C majorC
There's a million reasons why we said goodbye
    G+G              D MajorD
Why we couldn't try, couldn't fight for it anymore
E minorEm          C majorC
Put your ring in the back of the dresser drawer
G+G          D MajorD
And we closed that door

So why am I at 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light

     G+G         D MajorD
Say it's gonna be the last time
   E minorEm  C majorC     G+G   D MajorD
Backsliding, I'm backsliding

Backsliding, I'm backsliding


Verse 2:
   E minorEm            C majorC      G+G       D MajorD
Well, I heard that you've been hangin' around with someone new
   E minorEm          C majorC
Yeah, word gets around in such a small town
     G+G            D MajorD
Bet you heard I'm seein' someone too
      E minorEm              C majorC
There's a million reasons why we should be happy
   G+G             D MajorD
Not lookin' back, livin' in the past anymore
E minorEm            C majorC
But they ain't addin' up, I guess they ain't enough
G+G       D MajorD
'Cause here I am

Bridge:
   C majorC        D MajorD       E minorEm
And we keep pushing, pulling back, sliding
