So here we go...

Intro = G

G
 We took a weekend, drove to Provo
C                -Walk- G
 The snow was white and fluffy
G
 But a weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us
C
 And the grey sky was vast and real cryptic above me

---
  D       C            C -Walk- G
 I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

---
G
 We took 2 weeks in the Bahamas
C
 Went out dancing every night
G
 Tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things
C                D
 Most of the time I guess I felt alright

---
D   C    D   C              -Walk- G
 But I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

G          C
 But you cannot run, And you cannot hide
G                    C        D    G
 From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside

---
G
 We went down to New Orleans
C
 One weekend in the Spring
G
 Looked hard for what we'd lost
    C              D
 It was painful to admit it, but we couldn't find a thing

---
D   C    D   C              -Walk- G
 And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

---
G
 Went to New York City in September
    C
 Took a train out of Manhattan, to the Grand Army stop
      G
 Found that bench we'd sat together on a thousand years ago
    C                  D
 When I felt such love for you I thought my heart was gonna pop

---
D   C    D   C              -Walk- G  D  G
 And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

G         C
 But I cannot run, And I can't hide
G                    C        D   G
 From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside

Outro: G C G C G C D G C D G
