BB C majorC BB
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
BB C majorC BB
And people would say, "They’re the lucky ones"
BB C majorC BB
I used to know my place was the spot next to you
Now I'm searchin' the room for an empty seat
BB C majorC BB
’Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC B#mB#m
Oh, a simple complication
BB BB BB
Miscommunications lead to fallout
BB
So many things that I wish you knew
C majorC
So many walls up, I can't break through
Chorus:
BB C majorC BB
Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room
And we're not speakin'
BB C majorC BB
And I’m dyin’ to know, is it killin' you
Like it’s killin' me? Yeah

BB C majorC
How'd we end up this way?

See me nervously pulling at my clothes and tryin’ to look busy

And you're doin' your best to avoid me

I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us

How I was losin' my mind when I saw you here
C majorC BB
But you held your pride like you should've held me
Pre-Chorus:
