Verse 1
G
I found my old phone today
D
In a box that I had hidden away
C
Nostalgia tryin' to lead me astray
G D
Maybe I'll unwrite some wrongs
G
I charged the battery again
D
Combinations 'cause my passcode had changed
C
Opened up and saw familiar names
G D
Now I wonder where they've gone
Chorus
Em
Conversations with my dead friends
C
Messages from all my exes
G
I kinda think that this was best left
D
In the past where it belongs
Em
I feel an overwhelming sadness
C
Of all the friends I Do not have left
G
Seeing how my family has fractured
D
Growin' up and movin' on
Verse 2
G
I found my old phone today
D
Arguments that I tried to keep at bay
C
The ones who loved me, I just pushed them away
G D
Couldn't tell the difference from the leeches
G
My closed hand still holds some mates
D
But if I'm open, it gets smaller day by day
C
I can't tell if it is pleasure or pain
G D
Trying to keep within my remit
Chorus
Em
Conversations with my dead friends
C
Messages from all my exes
G
I kinda think that this was best left
D
There in the past where it belongs
Em
I feel an overwhelming sadness
C
Of all the friends I Do not have left
G
Seeing how my family has fractured
D
Growin' up and movin' on
Post-Chorus
Em
Ooh.
C
Ooh
G
Ooh
D
Ooh
Bridge
G
I found my old phone today
D
So full of love, yet so full of hate
C
I put it back inside there from whence it came
G D
Nothing good will come from regretting
Chorus
Conversations with my dead friends
Messages from all my exes
I kinda think that this was best left
There in the past where it belongs
Em
I feel an overwhelming sadness
C
Of all the friends I Do not have left
G
Seeing how my family has fractured
D
Growin' up and movin' on

I found my old phone today
