Intro:
B minorBm F#F# G+G E minorEm


Verse 1:
   B minorBm
Don't tell me I'm the one

I wouldn't want to be the one
      F#F#
I wouldn't want to know
       G+G
Yeah there's context of course

These are temporary thoughts
      E minorEm
I think one day they'll go
B minorBm                           F#F#
Yes I know I love you but as time goes on I think we'll both get hurt
  G+G                           E minorEm
And we keep clinging on whilst we treat each other like we don't deserve

Chorus:
    B minorBm                       F#F#
When we met you gave me a necklace of a bird you said didn't have a home
     G+G                       E minorEm
I can't remember for sure but I think it was a type of swallow
  B minorBm                 F#F#
Sometimes I think we both knew from the start that this was doomed
    G+G                 E minorEm
Please know, my love, I treasure all the time I spent with you


Interlude:
B minorBm F#F# G+G E minorEm


Verse 2:
   B minorBm               F#F#      G+G      E minorEm
And truth be told I'm so unsure if I should even walk away
  B minorBm            F#F#       G+G          E minorEm
But I keep clinging on whilst knowing that I treat you worse everyday
   B minorBm     F#F#      G+G      E minorEm
I am distant in mind and I am distant in body
   B minorBm          F#F#          G+G     E minorEm
Even with me by your side you'll be inevitably lonely

    B minorBm              F#F#
And of one thing I'm sure it's that you deserve more
   G+G                  E minorEm
I am selfish and distracted, some weeks barely interacted
   B minorBm
I am difficult and late
 F#F#
I do not save the date
     G+G
I have myself prioritised
 E minorEm
I ask your help and time
     NC
I so rarely give you mine

Chorus:
    B minorBm                       F#F#
When we met you gave me a necklace of a bird you said didn't have a home
     G+G                       E minorEm
I can't remember for sure but I think it was a type of swallow
  B minorBm                 F#F#
Sometimes I think we both knew from the start that this was doomed
    G+G                 E minorEm
Please know, my love, I treasure all the time I spent with you


Verse 3:
     B minorBm        F#F#        G+G
And now I feel like such a fool for this to be what I choose
  E minorEm
As if you weren't enough
B minorBm      F#F#      G+G       E minorEm
Because I can say that I've never felt as loved
  B minorBm       F#F#     G+G      E minorEm
I can't apologize more for my absence of emotion
 B minorBm        F#F#        G+G       E minorEm
I know this song I write for you is just a selfish token


Outro:
B minorBm       F#F#     G+G    E minorEm
Although theres pain in the end
    B minorBm    F#F#     G+G    E minorEm
I would love to remain your friend
B minorBm         F#F#       G+G   E minorEm
Break the past and make amends
   B minorBm        F#F#     G+G    E minorEm
And learn to love you again in a new way
