Verse 1You hAid me in your dorm room, it was Halloweekend
I just flew acrF#moss the globe, 22 hours just to see you
Just to bDarely fit on your twin-sized bed
And talk about your cool new friend
Who I nEever met, who you dated as soon as I leftVerse 2ACarolina autumn, it had been a year since I saw ya
Since we F#mended it, had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted
Now we're hDolding hands
As not quite friends, but not quite lovers
Well, we'll just pretend
You say, "It's cEomplicated to make amends"
Well, is that the way that we're head?d, then?

Pre-Chorus 1D..And you couldn't answer me
Though you could F#mpull m? in while I brushed my teeth
And lAet your hands both freely speak
Like I wEasn't ever gonna leaveChorusYDou were all I'd ever kAnown
And now I'm supposed to F#mlove you from a distance
Like it's nEothing, like it's instant
And yDou say, "Let's just see where this gAoes"
And I don't know how Bmor why you seem just fine
'Cause I'm hF#mavin' to grasp that you're somehow not mine aGnymore
F#mIt's so cruel how tDhings are only almost like they were befAore Post-Chorus(ah, ah, ah)
Like they were befBmore (Ah, ah, ah)
Like they were beF#mfore (Ah, ah, ah)
Like they were befDore (Ah, ah, ah)Verse 3We Awalk downtown and it's charming
You're alarmingly disarming
Yeah, we've F#mgot 48 hours left before I fly back to my death
While you sDtay just fine and feel alive
South of the Mason-Dixon line
Where eEveryone closes shop at 9
Where you could somehow finally findPre-Chorus 2D..What you were desperately looking for
F#mFunny how you thought that was gonna be New York
With our chAalkboard walls and slanted floors
EOh, we could've had that and so much more
F#mAsk your new lover what it's like to be given
A rAeal fighting chance before you wish her, "Good riddance"
Did aDnything ever really count, or wEas I just a two-year practice round?ChorusDYou were all I'd ever knAown
And now I'm feeling sF#mtupid, you're forbidden
They say yeah Ewe were something, too bad we were children
DOh, I don't know where to gAo
And I don't know how Bmor why you seem just fine
'Cause I'm lF#mookin' at you and God knows you're not mine aGnymore
F#mIt's so cruel how tDhings will never be the way they were befAoreOutro(Ah, ah, ah)
Like they were befBmore (Ah, ah, ah)
It's almost F#mjust like how it was befDore (Ah, ah, ah)
But it's not anymore.A.
