• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:
   F              Am                Bb
I promise I won’t tell her bout the text you sent last February
F               Am                  Bb
Promise I won’t share with her your deepest secrets I still carry
F                Am              Bb
I won’t tell her how you tend to leave whenever things get scary
F             Am                   Bb
Cuz you never know this girl might be the one you choose to marry
    F                Am              Bb
But I can’t help but dream about the times when I was something to you
F            Am          Bb
Held onto forever when I was too scared that I would lose you
F                 Am          Bb
Boxes filled with memories of all the times I knew I loved you
F            Am            Bb
Be the one I look for in a crowded hall but now

Pre-chorus:
    F                          Am
You walk into the room and you look right through me
Bb
Playing it cool like you never even knew me
F                               Am
Straight into her gaze you know just what your doing
Bb
Don’t you?
    F                            Am
She runs into your arms and you hold her close
        Bb
While I take a step back and watch the whole show

        F
But the curtain never falls
        Am
And the film still rolls
    Bb
And I hold back the things I’ll never
F                 Am                 Bb
say because she’s great like you handmade her
    F              Am              Bb
And I simply blend in with the wallpaper


Verse 2:
    F                Am        Bb
I’m getting close to 21, but I still can’t get over 18
F             Am            Bb
How can you expect me to forget the single thing that saved me
F
Yeah it’s done
Am
We had our fun
    Bb
But that can’t pull me from the daydream
F               Am             Bb
Kinda wish that it was me your smiling at right now


Pre-chorus:
        F                         Am
But you breeze on past like she’s all you know
    Bb
I’m dead to you and it clearly shows
        F                 Am              Bb
I could disappear and you wouldn’t notice anyways
           F                     Am
'Cause you grab her hand and you pull her close
        Bb
While I take a step back and watch the whole show

        F
But the curtain never falls
        Am
And the film still rolls
    Bb
And I hold back the things I’ll never
F                 Am                 Bb
say because she’s great like you handmade her
    F              Am              Bb
And I simply blend in with the wallpaper


Bridge:
F              Am
Maybe I’m just too outdated
Bb
Peeling corners colors faded
F         Am                  Bb
Obviously she looks fresh and new
    F                Am
But tell me would it even matter to
Bb
strip the color change the pattern
F               Am              Bb
Would I then be good enough for you?
F            Am            Bb
Could I ever be enough for you?


Outro:
    F                         Am
You walk into the room and my hands go numb
  Bb
I feel the air slip from my lungs
    F                     Am
You look the same as when we were young
    Bb
But we’re not young anymore
    F                     Am
You scan the room while I stare at the floor
       Bb
'Cause it’s not me that you’re looking for
     F                Am                Bb
It’s clear she offers so much more than all I have to give
      F                Am              Bb
She’s perfect like you practically handmade her
       F               Am                   Bb
'Cause what we had was great but that seems greater
F                  Am                Bb
I’ll simply stay a piece of your wallpaper
