stayed awake while worlds away to ask about you G Am C And all at once I jumped the gun, I didn't mean to Am Em To count the days I used to hate C But now they're not so tough to live through G And  while away, my freckle face should surely  miss you G Am (Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm C Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm) G Am C I guess I've changed, it's not a phase, nothing like before G Am C You'll miss it though but only 'cause you're sentimental Chorus: D Em C Don't paint this gold like at the start Am Em C For it is as it is, as we are D Em C Don't take it back, don't tell me you can't Am Em C For it is as it is, as we are Break: G C (Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Am C Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm Em Mmm-mmm) Verse 2: G Am C We saved a date, it's not too late to rearrange it G Am C We jumped the gun, you left to run, I stayed, conflicted Am Em And you still see how we could be C Is there something that I'm missing? G Am C 'Cause all along I kinda knew that we were fading Chorus: D Em C Don't paint this gold like at the start Am Em C For it is as it is, as we are D Em C Don't take it back, don't tell me you can't Am Em C For it is as it is, as we are Outro: D Em C For it is as it is, as we are G C Em C Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm D Em C For it is as it is, as we are
