************************************

Verse 1:
  G                    Am           C
I 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
