E minor 7Em7
We wanted to play nice

G+G
To understand each other

And with patience we took turns
Am7Am7
I'm sorry for my anger
D6D6
I was just too young to know
G+G
The cause of your exterior
E minor 7Em7
And just what you wouldn't show
Pre-Chorus 2:
Am7Am7
Oh, it's complicated
D6D6
And I need to say it

E minor 7Em7 E7E7
Because I know you do
Am7Am7
And I get it now

You weren't allowed
GM7 E minor 7Em7 E7E7
The same life that you've so gracefully endowed; Oh, I

You love me too
GM7
Unspoken words are preferred
E minor 7Em7
But it's the truth
E7E7 Am7Am7
I'll shift the tide

Leave windows wide

We are the start
E minor 7Em7 E7E7
Our change of heart will be our guide; Oh, I
