[Verse]

    G
You hid me in your dorm room,

 It was Halloweekend

              Em
I just flew across the globe, 

22 hours just to see you

        C
Just to barely fit on 

Your twin-sized bed

 
And talk about your cool new friend
      D
Who I never met, who

 You dated as soon as I left
 
 
[Verse]

G
Carolina autumn, it had been 

A year since I saw ya

         Em
Since we ended it, had 

A year to grow into the

 Girl you always wanted

          C
Now we're holding hands
 
As not quite friends,

 But not quite lovers
 
Well, we'll just pretend

               D
You say, "It's complicated

 To make amends"

 
Well, is that the way that

 We're headеd, then?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

C
And you couldn't answer me

                 Em
Though you could pull mе in while

 I brushed my teeth

    G
And let your hands both freely speak

       D
Like I wasn't ever gonna leave
 
 
[Chorus]


C                    G
You were all I'd ever known

                        Em
And now I'm supposed to love 

You from a distance

          D
Like it's nothing, 

Like it's instant

    C                  
And you say, "Let's just 
              G
See where this goes"

                     Am
And I don't know how or why 

You seem just fine

            Em                 
'Cause I'm havin' to grasp that 

                        F
You're somehow not mine anymore

 Em                C        
It's so cruel how things are  

                          G
Only almost like they were before
 
 
[Post]
 
(Ah, ah, ah)
               Am
Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)

               Em
Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)

               C
Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)
 
 
[Verse]


G
We walk downtown and it's charming
 
You're alarmingly disarming
            Em
Yeah, we've got 48 hours left before 

I fly back to my death

          C
While you stay just 

Fine and feel alive

 
South of the Mason-Dixon line

      D
Where everyone closes shop at 9

 
Where you could somehow finally find
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

C
What you were desperately looking for
 Em
Funny how you thought 

That was gonna be New York

           G
With our chalkboard walls

 And slanted floors

D
Oh, we could've had that and

 So much more

Em
Ask your new lover what

 It's like to be given

  G
A real fighting chance before

 You wish her, "Good riddance"

     C                            D
Did anything ever really count, or was

 I just a two-year practice round?
 
 
[Chorus]

C                    G
You were all I'd ever known

                     Em
And now I'm feeling stupid, 

You're forbidden

              D
They say yeah we were something, 

Too bad we were children

C                        G
Oh, I don't know where to go

                     Am
And I don't know how or why

 You seem just fine

           Em                         
'Cause I'm lookin' at 

You and God knows 

                 F
You're not mine anymore

Em               
It's so cruel how 

 C 
Things will never be the 

                 G
Way they were before 
 
 
[Outro]

 
(Ah, ah, ah)
               Am
Like they were before (Ah, ah, ah)

            Em           
It's almost just like how  
             C
It was before (Ah, ah, ah) 

                    G
But it's not anymore
