Verse 1:
C majorC FF
Once the flight had flown (Uh-huh)
A minorAm
With the wilt of the rose (Uh-huh)
FF
I slept all alone (Uh-huh)
You still wouldn't go
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later
FF
I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters
A minorAm
You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor
FF
You search in every maiden's bed for somethin' greater, baby
Chorus:
C majorC
Was it over when she laid down on your couch?
FF
Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?
A minorAm
"Come here," I whispered in your ear
In your dream as you passеd out, baby
FF C majorC
Was it over then? And is it over now?
Post-Chorus:
C majorC
(Is it? Is it? Is it)
Verse 2:
C majorC FF
Whеn you lost control (Uh-huh)
A minorAm
Red blood, white snow (Uh-huh)
FF
Blue dress on a boat (Uh-huh)
Your new girl is my clone
Bridge:
C majorC
And did you think I didn't see you?
There were flashin' lights
At least I had the decency
FF
To keep my nights out of sight
Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
And my whispered sighs
Oh, Lord, I think about
A minorAm
Jumpin' off of very tall somethings
FF
Just to see you come running
C majorC
And say the one thing I've been wanting, but no
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
Let's fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later (Oh)
FF
If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her (Oh)
A minorAm
You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor (Oh)
FF
You search in every model's bed for somethin' greater, baby
Chorus:
C majorC
Was it over when she laid down on your couch?
FF
Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?

"Come here," I whispered in your ear
In your dream as you passеd out, baby
FF C majorC
Was it over then? And is it over now?

Oh-oh

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
G+G
20 stitches in the hospital room
G+G
When you started crying baby I did too
A minorAm
When the sun came up I was looking at you
A minorAm
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
FF
I walked out saying I'm setting you free
FF
The monsters turned out to be just trees
C majorC
When the sun came up you were looking at me
You were looking at me, oh
A minorAm
You were looking at me
FF
I remember
FF
I remember
Bridge:
C majorC
Think I didn't see you?
There were flashin' lights
At least I had the decency
FF
To keep my nights out of sight
Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
And my whispered sighs
Oh, Lord, I think about
A minorAm
Jumpin' off of very tall somethings
FF
Just to see you come runnin' (Runnin')
C majorC
And say the one thing I've been wanting, but no

Oh, Lord (Oh-oh)
A minorAm
Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later (Oh-oh)
(Flashin' lights)
I was hoping you'd be there
FF
And say the one thing (Oh-oh) I've been wanting (Oh-oh)
C majorC
(Flashin' lights) But no
