Intro:
G+G C majorC (2x)
Verse:
G+G D MajorD
You look older than I remember
G+G C majorC
And I guess that some of that wear may be my fault
G+G C majorC
And I can’t quite figure out which fight had been our last
D MajorD C majorC
Or if that one even mattered much at all
C majorC G+G
Disillusioned as snow angels who thought their wings were permanent
C majorC
In seclusion you were faithful or at least hid your finer print
G+G
How dumb I was in hindsight to think that I could really know
C majorC
Much of anything about anything though
Chorus 1:
G+G
And does being in the Los Angeles bring me to mind?
C majorC
And does wine and Billie Holiday still make you cry?
G+G
When you call is it to open up a door to better days?
C majorC
Or is it simple as the way you wanna say
G+G
“Are you okay?”
C majorC G+G
Verse 2:
G+G
An empty cup can’t fill another
C majorC
Why did that take us so long to figure out?
G+G
There were sides of you where I swore "I could love her"
C majorC
But to love takes so much more than knowing how
G+G
And I’m still in that apartment where we were big kids playing house
C majorC
Where we bought the cups and curtains to imitate settling down
G+G
And I kept some of our pictures and I wear my birthday watch
To remind me of the man I'm glad I'm not
Chorus 2:
G+G D MajorD
Does your new boyfriend know how much I still mean to you?
C majorC
Do you change some of the details for a more convenient truth?
C majorC G+G B minorBm
Can he translate how you hold his hand into levels of your pain?
D MajorD
Does he know to ask despite what you may say?
C majorC
Are you okay?
G+G C majorC
Bridge:
G+G
You’re a child on an airplane, you fear what’s out of your control
C majorC
And you love New York 'cause it was somewhere else for you to go
G+G
And you dyed your hair so you could look your mirror in the eyes
C majorC
And pretend she’s someone you don’t recognize
Chorus 3:
G+G
So it’s time to lose my number and let the past be where we stay
BB D MajorD C majorC
When you’ve had too much to drink again someone else can hold your waist
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
We were never quite as good as how your memory replays
C majorC D MajorD
And I don’t owe you no answer when you say
G+G C majorC
“Are you okay?”
G+G C majorC
“Are you okay??”
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC (x8)
