Intro:
F C (4x)

Verse 1:
F            C
  I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit
F              C
  Been saying "yes" instead of "no"
F                C                       F            C
  I thought I saw  you at the bus stop, I didn't though
F           C
  I hit the ground running each night
F           C
  I hit the Sunday matinée
Dm       C                                      Dm        C
  You know the greatest films of all time were never made

Pre-Chorus:
F               C
  I guess you never know, never know
F            C                               F
  And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
           C                               F
And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow
            C
And it's alright now


Chorus:
Am              C
But we were something, don't you think so?
F         C                                Dm
  Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
          C           Dm
And if my wishes came true
   C                 Am
It would've been you
      C                    F
In my defense, I have none
C                              Dm
For never leaving well enough alone
C                     Dm
But it would've been fun
               C
If you would've been the one
Dm C Dm C
(Ooh)


Verse 2:
Dm            C
  I had this dream you're doing cool shit
Dm           C
  Having adventures on your own
Dm          C                             Dm           C
  You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
Dm          C                       Dm
  We never painted by the numbers, baby
            C
But we were making it count
Dm            C                               F        C
  You know the greatest loves of all time are over now


Pre-Chorus:
F  C
 I guess you never know, never know
F    C
 And it's another day waking up alone


Chorus:
Am              C
But we were something, don't you think so?
F         C                                Dm
  Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
          C           Dm
And if my wishes came true
   C                 Am
It would've been you
      C                    F
In my defense, I have none
C                              Dm
For never leaving well enough alone
C                     Dm
But it would've been fun
               C
If you would've been the one


Bridge:
Am C        F                      C
I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
   Dm                 C
If one thing had been different
      Dm            C
Would everything be different today?


Chorus:
Am  C
  We were something, don't you think so?
F  C                                Dm
  Rosé flowing with your chosen family
C                       Dm
And it would've been sweet
  C                    Am
If it could've been me
C                     F
In my defense, I have none
C                                  Dm
For digging up the grave another time
C                    Dm
But it would've been fun
       C
If you would've been the one
Dm C Dm C
(Ooh)
