Verse 1:
               G*
There are different kinds of loneliness
            C*
And I have always been good
            G*
Good at raising up the drawbridges
         Em* Fm*
Good at knocking on wood

Verse 2:
          G+G
I could make myself invisible
          C majorC
I could be a better liar
         A minorAm
Anything would be better
           D MajorD
Than to sit here and wonder


Chorus:

       G+G
What was I to you?
         B minorBm
Some kind of life lesson?
       F minorFm   A augmentedA
Or something worth forgetting?
         C majorC
Just a stray you let in?
     D MajorD  G+G
What was I to you?
            D MajorD
A augmentedA stain on your perfect record?
          E minorEm
A augmentedA slip, a blip, a wrong chord?
           A augmentedA
I get why you had to go
                C majorC
But the thing I really want to know
      D MajorD  G+G
Is what was I to you?

Verse 3:
           G+G
I can't claim what I gave away
         C majorC
Keep the fire but not the flame
        G+G
Feel my face on your face again
E minorEm  F minorFm
Hey, hey
               G+G
You know I've told you this a thousand times
           C majorC
Except I never press 'send'
           A augmentedA
But anything would be better
           A minorAm
Than to sit here and wonder

Chorus:
       G+G
What was I to you?
         B minorBm

A augmentedA slip, a blip, a wrong chord?
           A augmentedA
I get why you had to go
                C majorC

Is what was I to you?


Bridge:
C majorC
Just in case you were ever wondering
A augmentedA
what you were to me
E minorEm
You were the biggest let-down, the one
      A augmentedA
who got the power just by being so weak
FF               DmDm
You wasted all my time, moved on at the speed of light
           G+G
I don't know what to believe

What was I to you?
         B minorBm

Just a stray you let in?
     D MajorD  G+G
What was I to you?
            D MajorD
A augmentedA stain on your perfect record?
          E minorEm
A augmentedA slip, a blip, a wrong chord?
           A augmentedA
I get why you had to go
                C majorC
But the thing I really want to know
  D MajorD    C majorC
Is what was I...?


Verse 4:
C majorC     D MajorD       G+G
I remember everything you said

That night inside our tent by the torchlight
E minorEm          F minorFm    G+G
Do you remember how I made you laugh?

You said, 'I hope I die before you'
C majorC         D MajorD     G+G
I remember walking through a forest

You said that you thought we might be dreaming
E minorEm               D MajorD
Then we made it to the top of a waterfall
G+G
And we jumped down hand-in-hand and screaming
C majorC
Remember the feeling (x3 Lyrics, x4 Bars of C majorC)
