Chords with lyrics
Intro:
D MajorD
Verse :
D MajorD
We went back to the shore
For the crash of the waves
G+G
I love that sound and the curious comfort we found in each other
A augmentedA
Just like we did back in the day
D MajorD
And the crackling clouds
A/C#A/C#
Of a storm out at sea
G+G
And you broke me down just by leaning a little bit closer to me
A augmentedA
And yet still somehow leaning away
Pre-Chorus:
B minorBm G+G
Well nobody told me
D MajorD A augmentedA
Just how badly I'd grieve
B minorBm
That I'd dig through my past
G+G
That I'd keep looking back
D MajorD A augmentedA
To find out who I wanted to be
Chorus:
D MajorD
Have I forgotten
A augmentedA
How I let myself feel?
G+G
How the slightest inflections
A augmentedA
Were like cuts that don't heal?
D MajorD
And don't be mistaken
A augmentedA
That was true
I believe
G+G
I was something
I swear it
A augmentedA D MajorD
Before life got the better of me
Interlude:
D MajorD
Verse :
D MajorD
I think I know how you felt
A/C#A/C#
I didn't know how to leave
G+G
But looking back it was easy to think you'd be better off
A augmentedA
But I shouldn't have left you that way
D MajorD
Without saying it right
A/C#A/C#
Or even saying it wrong
B minorBm
I just moved on, ripped you out of my chest
And I picked up and left
A/C#A/C# A augmentedA
And just like a ghost I was gone
Pre-Chorus:
B minorBm G+G
Well nobody told me
D MajorD A augmentedA
Come on, kid, take your time
B minorBm
Don't go rushing too fast
G+G
'Cause if you lose your path
D MajorD A augmentedA
It's gonna be so hard to find
Chorus:
D MajorD
Have I forgotten
A augmentedA
How I let myself feel?
G+G
How the slightest inflections
A augmentedA
Were like cuts that don't heal?
D MajorD
And don't be mistaken
A augmentedA
That was true
I believe
G+G
I was something
I swear it
A augmentedA
Before life got the better of me
Bridge:
F# minorF#m G+G
Life is hard
B minorBm A augmentedA
Just a series of battle scars
F# minorF#m
From some fights we won
G+G
And some fights we lost
B minorBm A augmentedA
In a war that we never signed on for
B minorBm G+G
We keep holding our heads high
B minorBm A augmentedA
Or hold each other and just cry
G+G
And nobody's wrong
And no lines are drawn
G minorGm
And everyone's here
And nobody's gone
Chorus:
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
I was something
I swear it
B minorBm
Before life got the better
G+G
Before life got the better
A augmentedA
Before life got the better of me
