β« Verse 1:
C#m B A
I got a message from a friend
C#m B A
Said, "You've been quiet since the day you let her in
C#m B A
And we'd all love to know just where you went
C#m B A
'Cause honey you don't look the same
C#m B A
I barely recognize you with that look on your face"
C#m B A
My God those words are burned into my brain
β« Pre-Chorus:
B C#m A
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
B C#m A
Oh I swore to God you'd be important

β« Chorus:
C#m
A
There's blisters on my feet
C#m
I ran right through my shoes
B
These roads are changing me
A
But they all lead back to you
C#m
'Cause you're still in my skin
C#m
I've done all I can do
B
But I chose to let you in
C#m
Now the roads lead back to you
β« Post-Chorus:
C#m B A

β« Verse 2:
C#m B A
So when they ask me where I've been
C#m B A
I'll plug the drain and calmly say, "I never left"
C#m B A
And quietly wish we had never met
C#m B A
'Cause that slow pain don't like to wait
C#m B A
No, it comes quick and then it never fades away
C#m B A
And I lost part of me that day

B C#m A
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
B C#m A
Oh I swore to God you'd be important
