Em  C  G  D  x 2


Verse 1:
 Em         C           G         D
I'm not supposed to be thinking 'bout you, lying here in this bed
  Em            C
Too much has gone wrong and we should move on
 G         D
That's what we both said
     Em          C
There's a million reasons why we said goodbye
    G              D
Why we couldn't try, couldn't fight for it anymore
Em          C
Put your ring in the back of the dresser drawer
G          D
And we closed that door

Chorus:
        Em       C            G
So why am I at 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light
D

Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right
       Em
Backsliding
  C      G   D       Em           C
We say we won't, but then we do the same old thing fallin' right back in
     G         D
Say it's gonna be the last time

Backsliding, I'm backsliding
   Em  C     G   D
Backsliding, I'm backsliding


Verse 2:
   Em            C      G       D
Well, I heard that you've been hangin' around with someone new
   Em          C
Yeah, word gets around in such a small town
     G            D
Bet you heard I'm seein' someone too
      Em              C
There's a million reasons why we should be happy
   G             D
Not lookin' back, livin' in the past anymore
Em            C
But they ain't addin' up, I guess they ain't enough
G       D
'Cause here I am


Chorus:
  Em       C            G
At 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light

Bridge:
   C        D       Em
And we keep pushing, pulling back, sliding
 C         D       Em
Pushing, pulling, slipping back, sliding
    C          D
I keep asking myself, keep asking myself
 Em
Why do I need you and nobody else?
       C           D         Em   D
And if we're not meant to be, then why do we keep backsliding?

So why am I at 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light
