[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
