Past Tense chords by Jordy

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: A

A F#m
D

A
We use to



We did that
F#m
You looked at me on my front steps
     D
And I knew that it was over

The second you came over
          A
You held me

And you kissed my head
          F#m
And you told me
                             D
That it was better off this way
                           F#m
Well it was for a day

I don't want to pretend that I like that ending
E                                                   D
We both know I would have tried if you just let me

But you don't let me
               A
Let me say I miss you

Don't got to say it back
                E
I've tried to keep my mouth shut

And keep us in the past
             D
You're the only one that's ever really known me

But lately I've been kinda jealous of the old me
                  A
So let me say I love you

You use to say it back
             E
But now we hardly ever talk

I know you wanted that
    D
I guess a future with you doesn't make sense

But know my biggest regret is letting you become a past tense

A F#m D

A
I messed up

You said things
F#m
Took scissors to my heartstrings
    D
So I moved across the country

Always thought that you'd forget me
F#m
I don't want to be another blurry story
E                                    A
That you tell your kids when we're both pushing forty
D
Sometimes I wish that you would call me
               A
And let me say I miss you

Don't got to say it back
                E
I've tried to keep my mouth shut

And keep us in the past
             D
You're the only one that's ever really known me

But lately I've been kinda jealous of the old me
              A
So let me say I love you

You use to say it back
          E
But now we hardly ever talk

I know you wanted that
          D
I guess a future with you doesn't make sense
                                                          A
But know my biggest regret is letting you become a past tense
E    D
Oh
A
All these years

And life gone by
                E
Did time take you

As you took your time
             D
I am moving on too

What are you trying to prove
         A
Cut me out and change your name
                E
But you don't know how it feels the same
                D
How come you loved that

Do you ever wonder why
              A
I don't say I miss you

Cause you won't say it back
            E
I hate to keep my mouth shut

And keep us in the past
            D
You're the only one that I've ever allowed to know me

But lately I've been kinda jealous of the old me
              A
We use to say I love you

And you would say it back
      E
And now we hardly ever talk

And you're just fine with that
     D
I saw a future with you now it don't make sense
                                                       E
But know my biggest regret is letting you become a past tense
