Key: C#

Intro:

C#


Verse 1:

                    C#
Don't make this any harder
            G#
Everybody’s waiting
                 A#m
Walk-on's almost over
              F#
Teenagers on ice
               C#
Try to keep my distance
              G#
Talking of forgiveness
            A#m
Once upon a poolside
               F#
Underneath the lights

Chorus:

G#                             F#
What was the worried thing you said to me?


Verse 2:

                C#
I'll follow you everywhere
                   G#
While you work the room
                     A#m
I don’t know how you do it
             F#
Tangerine perfume
              C#
I'm not doing anyone
             G#
Any kind of favors
                   A#m
Watching airplanes land
                  F#
And sink into the pavement


Chorus:

G#                             F#
What was the worried thing you said to me?


Bridge 1:

C#           G#                          A#m
I can't keep talking, I can't stop shaking
             F#                          C#
I can't keep track of everything I'm taking
              G#                             A#m
Everything is different, why do I feel the same?
             F#                                       G#
Am I asking for too much? Can't hеar what you're saying


Chorus:

G#                             F#
What was the worried thing you said to me?
G#                             F#
I thought we could make it through anything


Bridge 2:

C#         G#            A#m       F#
This is the closest we’ve ever been
C#        G#            A#m       F#
And I have no idea what’s happening
G#                             F#
Is this how this whole thing is gonna end?
G#                       F#
This is the closest we've ever been


Verse 3:

                    C#
Don't make this any harder
            G#
Everybody’s waiting
                 A#m
Walk-on's almost over
              F#
Teenagers on ice
               C#
Try to keep my distance
              G#
Talking of forgiveness
            A#m
Once upon a poolside
               F#
Underneath the lights


Chorus:

G#                             F#
What was the worried thing you said to me?
G#                             F#
I thought we could make it through anything
