Verse 1:

      G              C      G
On my shoulder as we laid awake
        C       G       D    B   Em
And you always loved a smoke by eight
       B           C
'Cause baby don't mind



            G                    C          G
Gets never colder than when the daylight breaks
       C        G        D  B   Em
Do you now regret the bed we made?
        B           C
Does it cross your mind?
     G             C          G
Well baby, does it cross your mind?

Chorus:

      C      Em      B       C     Em
I did not intend to slow you down, mm
      D         D/A         F        C
Even hoped that we would've spoke by now
      G               D    G
I was acting like an only child

Verse 2:

      G                  C      G
What takes forever is a lesson learned
        C          G           D    B      Em
I have nothing to show for the medals I've earned
    B        C
And maybe I mind
        G                     C          G
'Cause no one's ever seen me traipsing in
           C            G       D     B   Em
I've been hiding from all the places I've been
     B           C
And sore from trying
     G             C        G
And acting like an only child

Chorus:

      C      Em      B       C     Em
I did not intend to slow you down, mm
      D         D/A              F        C
Even though I'd hoped we'd have spoke by now
G             D    G
Maybe we were only lying

Interlude:

Am  Em  B  C
Am  Em  B  C
G   C  G

Verse 3:

C        G                      C            G
Heaven's closing, they're still pouring drinks
        C          G   D     B   Em
And of all those crazy ways you think
   B       C
I love you lying
    G                       D    B   Em
But I can't reason with the past we face
     D     G       D    B   Em
I'm sorry for the mess we made
           C           G            B      Em
And if you want, we'll pick through my mistakes
        B     C
You'll see me crying
     G
But maybe we could put it all behind

Chorus:

      C      Em       B         C     Em
I did not intend to force your hand, ooo
      D        D/A        F     C
Even though we swore we'd understand
G                  B   Em
Maybe we'll be always trying

Outro:

Am   G

          G
We'll be always trying
