Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: G

Difficulty: Intermediate

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
I could make myself invisible
                    C
I could be a better liar
                  Am
Anything would be better
                     D
Than to sit here and wonder


Chorus:

              G
What was I to you?
                  Bm
Some kind of life lesson?
             Fm     A
Or something worth forgetting?
                 C
Just a stray you let in?
         D    G
What was I to you?
                        D
A stain on your perfect record?
                   Em
A slip, a blip, a wrong chord?
                     A
I get why you had to go
                               C
But the thing I really want to know
            D    G
Is what was I to you?


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

Chorus:
              G
What was I to you?
                  Bm
Some kind of life lesson?
             Fm     A
Or something worth forgetting?
                 C
Just a stray you let in?
         D    G
What was I to you?
                        D
A stain on your perfect record?
                   Em
A slip, a blip, a wrong chord?
                     A
I get why you had to go
                               C
But the thing I really want to know
            D    C
Is what was I to you?


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


Chorus:
              G
What was I to you?
                  Bm
Some kind of life lesson?
             Fm     A
Or something worth forgetting?
                 C
Just a stray you let in?
         D    G
What was I to you?
                        D
A stain on your perfect record?
                   Em
A slip, a blip, a wrong chord?
                     A
I get why you had to go
                               C
But the thing I really want to know
   D        C
Is what was I...?


Verse 4:
C          D              G
I remember everything you said

That night inside our tent by the torchlight
Em                    Fm        G
Do you remember how I made you laugh?

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

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