Intro: F# minorF#m Dsus2Dsus2 Esus4Esus4 - E- Esus4Esus4 - E MajorE (listen for the strumming pattern)

Verse 1:

 F# minorF#m                  Dsus2Dsus2             Esus4Esus4
I was only looking for a shortcut home

      E MajorE
But it's complicated

 Esus4Esus4      E MajorE
So complicated

 F# minorF#m                   Dsus2Dsus2           Esus4Esus4
Somewhere in this city is a road i know

            E MajorE
Where we could make it

 Esus4Esus4               E MajorE   Dsus2Dsus2
But maybe there's no making it now


Chorus:

 A augmentedA
Too long we've been denying

 E MajorE
Now we're both tired of trying

 F# minorF#m               Dsus2Dsus2
We hit a wall and we can't get over it

 A augmentedA
Nothing to relive

    E MajorE
It's water under the bridge

   F# minorF#m
You said it, i get it

      Dsus2Dsus2
I guess it is what it is

Verse 2: same as verse 1
i was only trying to bury the pain
but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying
was only trying to save me
but i lost you again
now there's only lying
wish i could say it's only me


Chorus 2: same as previous chorus

 A augmentedA
Too long we've been denying

 E MajorE
Now we're both tired of trying

 F# minorF#m               Dsus2Dsus2
We hit a wall and we can't get over it

 A augmentedA
Nothing to relive

    E MajorE
It's water under the bridge

   F# minorF#m
You said it, i get it

      Dsus2Dsus2
I guess it is what it is


Bridge:

 Dsus2Dsus2
Here it comes ready or not

   E MajorE
We both found out it's not how we thought

   F# minorF#m       B minorBm     C#5(just 1 strum)
that it would be, how it would be
 Dsus2Dsus2
If the time could turn us around

   E MajorE
What once was lost may be found

   F# minorF#m       B minorBm    C#5(just 1 strum)
for you and me, for you and me


Solo: Same as intro


Last Chorus: same as before

 A augmentedA
Too long we've been denying

 E MajorE
Now we're both tired of trying

 F# minorF#m               Dsus2Dsus2
We hit a wall and we can't get over it

 A augmentedA
Nothing left to relive

   E MajorE
It's water under the bridge

   F# minorF#m
You said it, i get it

      Dsus2Dsus2 (keep for 2 bars)
i guess it is what it is

 F# minorF#m                  Dsus2Dsus2           Esus4Esus4
I was only looking for a shortcut home

      E MajorE
But it's complicated

 Esus4Esus4        E MajorE
So complicated


Hope it's right! Enjoy!
