• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Verse 1:
B
When you're driving home
Ebm/Bb
From your parents house
Abm              F#             E
You turn it up until you can't hear yourself
B                         Ebm/Bb
But you called that night, rambling
Abm               F#            E
Saying things out loud you couldn't say to anyone else

B                        F#
Now you don't talk to me anymore
                       Abm
Like I don't talk to God anymore
               F#             E
But I've been praying for your sister
F#          Abm      F# E
I'd tell you to knock it off
F#           B          E
If I weren't so fucking lost

It's too hard to resist when

Chorus:

B
I know you like the back of my hand
Ebm/Bb
And I can read your future with a glance
Abm                F#
I hear what you're saying in your silence
E
Like old friends
B
And these days not much makes sense
Ebm/Bb
But with you I know what I'll get
Abm                   F#
So I stay on the line 'til we both go quiet
E
Like old friends
Em
Not quite old friends

Instrumental:
B Ebm/Bb Abm E

Verse 2:

B
And you saw me at my worst
Ebm/Bb
You held me down, 'cuz you were there first
Abm
That's not love
F#             E
Just mutual assured destruction
B
I laid naked on your floor
Ebm/Bb
Dying for you to beg for more
Abm
I pulled my heart out with my stomach
E
Screaming "Don't you want this "
F#            B             E
Maybe you'd still love me dearly
F#             B           E
If you didn't see me so clearly
I hate to admit how

Chorus:
B
I know you like the back of my hand
Ebm/Bb
And I can read your future with a glance
Abm                F#
I hear what you're saying in your silence
E
Like old friends
B
And these days not much makes sense
B/A#
But with you I know what I'll get
Abm                   F#
So You Call Me Late At Night And I Give You My Time
E
Like old friends
Em
Not quite old friends

Instrumental:
D Bm G D

Outro:
D
I know you like my favorite band
Bm
I used to love but now I can't stand
G                           D
Now I only hear you in the silence
