Intro:

F    G      C     Am

Verse 1:
F                        G                          C                Am
I have this dream, one reoccurring theme, that I try to ignore
   F               G                     C           Am
D    decade away we meet in a grocery store
      F                       G
And you look the same, with just a few greys
  C                       Am
D    blonde little girl who tugs on your shirt
     F           C               G
And she looks nothing like me

Pre-Chorus:
       F                       G
Guess it’s been a while and she has your smile
    C                          Am
And I don’t look back after I turn the aisle
    F                            G
I’m stood by the parking, when I taste my heart beat
    C                       N.C.
And drop to my knees and wake up

Chorus:
C              G              Am
I couldn’t wish congratulations
        Em               F              C
Cause I choke on the words when I say ’em
      G                  Am
I’m afraid it’s not a dream
           Em           F
Now it’s so bitter sweet
           C
Cause I’m happy we met
         G
But I'm glad she was next
        Am               Em             F
Now I’m nothing but a touchy subject
     C     G         Am        Em
It’s for the best

Verse 2:
F                      G                          C                 Am
I have this fear the off and on years would slow and finally end
     F                          G               C           Am
And you’ve settled down and now it’s permanent
     F                       G
And now you don’t call or miss me at all
      C                        Am
I've finally patched up thе holes in the wall
   F            C              G
I guess it’s nothing really

Pre-Chorus:
        F                       G
Cause it’s been a while and gold's not my style
     C                            Am
But she pulls it off cause I’m not versatile
     F                          G
I’m stood by the garden till death do you part and
   C                  Am
I can’t speak so I hold my peace

Chorus:
C              G              Am
I couldn’t wish congratulations
        Em               F              C
Cause I choke on the words when I say ’em
      G                  Am
I’m afraid it’s not a dream
           Em           F
Now it’s so bitter sweet
           C
Cause I’m happy we met
         G
But I'm glad she was next
        Am               Em             F
Now I’m nothing but a touchy subject
     C     G         Am        Em
It’s for the best

Bridge:
   C                        G
D    white baby gate fixed in my hallway
       F                            G
Stays haunting the house with the angels we made
    C
It wasn’t our time
    Em
At least wasn’t mine
     F                          G
But if souls return then tell them I said hi

Chorus:
C              G              Am
I couldn’t wish congratulations
        Em               F              C
Cause I choke on the words when I say ’em
      G                  Am
I’m afraid it’s not a dream
           Em           F
Now it’s so bitter sweet
           C
Cause I’m happy we met
         G
But I'm glad she was next
        Am               Em             F
Now I’m nothing but a touchy subject
     C     G         Am        Em
It’s for the best

Outtro:
     C                      G
I’m happy we met but I’m glad she was next
         Am              Em          F
Now I’m nothing but a touchy subject
     C     G        Am
It’s for the best
