Intro: B, C#, E, Chord diagramA augmentedA X2

Verse 1

Chord diagramE MajorE          Chord diagramBB             Chord diagramA augmentedA
I used to think one day we’d tell the story of us

How we met and the sparks flew instantly
Chord diagramE MajorE       Chord diagramBB            Chord diagramA augmentedA
People would say, ¨they’re the lucky ones¨
Chord diagramE MajorE          Chord diagramBB            Chord diagramA augmentedA
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
                     Chord diagramE MajorE
Now I’m searching the room for an empty seat
              Chord diagramBB          Chord diagramA augmentedA
’Cause lately I don’t even know what page you’re on
Chord diagramBB         Chord diagramC#C#
Oh, a simple complication
 Chord diagramE MajorE     Chord diagramA augmentedA       Chord diagramE MajorE
Miscommunications lead to fall out
Chord diagramA augmentedA
So many things that I wish you knew
Chord diagramBB
So many walls up I can’t break through

Chorus

Chord diagramE MajorE          Chord diagramBB        Chord diagramA augmentedA
Now I’m standing alone In a crowded room And we’re not speaking
Chord diagramE MajorE         Chord diagramBB         Chord diagramA augmentedA
And I’m dying to know Is it killing you Like it’s killing me?
Chord diagramC#C#          Chord diagramBB           Chord diagramE MajorE
   Chord diagramA augmentedA
I don’t know what to say Since a twist of fate When it all broke down
     Chord diagramC#C#         Chord diagramBB         Chord diagramA augmentedA
And the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Verse 2

Chord diagramE MajorE           Chord diagramBB
How’d we end up this way?
         Chord diagramA augmentedA
See me nervously pulling at my clothes And trying to look busy
Chord diagramE MajorE            Chord diagramBB       Chord diagramA augmentedA
And you’re doing your best to avoid me
Chord diagramE MajorE             Chord diagramBB             Chord diagramA augmentedA
I’m starting to think one day I’ll tell the story of us

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
Chord diagramE MajorE         Chord diagramBB               Chord diagramA augmentedA
But you held your pride like you should have held me
Chord diagramBB               Chord diagramC#C#
Oh, we’re scared to see the ending
Chord diagramE MajorE       Chord diagramA augmentedA        Chord diagramE MajorE
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
  Chord diagramA augmentedA
I’d tell you I miss you but I don’t know how
 Chord diagramBB
I’ve never heard silence quite this loud

Chorus

Chord diagramE MajorE          Chord diagramBB        Chord diagramA augmentedA
Now I’m standing alone In a crowded room And we’re not speaking
Chord diagramE MajorE         Chord diagramBB         Chord diagramA augmentedA
And I’m dying to know Is it killing you Like it’s killing me?
Chord diagramC#C#          Chord diagramBB           Chord diagramE MajorE
   Chord diagramA augmentedA
I don’t know what to say Since a twist of fate When it all broke down
     Chord diagramC#C#         Chord diagramBB         Chord diagramA augmentedA
And the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Chord diagramE MajorE
This is looking like a contest
 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Of who can act like they care less
  Chord diagramC#C#           Chord diagramBB       Chord diagramA augmentedA
But I liked it better when you were on my side
Chord diagramE MajorE               Chord diagramA augmentedA
The battle’s in your hands now But I would lay my armor down
  Chord diagramC#C#       Chord diagramBB         Chord diagramA augmentedA
If you’d say you’d rather love than fight
Chord diagramA augmentedA
So many things that you wish I knew
Chord diagramBB
But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I’m standing alone In a crowded room And we’re not speaking

     Chord diagramC#C#         Chord diagramBB
And the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy
 Chord diagramA augmentedA     Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramBB Chord diagramA augmentedA
now now, now     And we’re not speaking
Chord diagramE MajorE         Chord diagramBB         Chord diagramA augmentedA
And I’m dying to know Is it killing you Like it’s killing me?
Chord diagramC#C#          Chord diagramBB           Chord diagramE MajorE
I don’t know what to say Since a twist of fate
          Chord diagramA augmentedA       Chord diagramC#C#
’cause we’re going down And the story of us
    Chord diagramBB          Chord diagramA augmentedA
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

The end.
