Capo fret 3
[Verse]
G
you hid me in your dorm room
G
it was halloweekend, I just flew
Em
across the globe
Em
twenty-two hours just to see you
C
just to barely fit
on your twin sized bed
C
and talk about your cool new friend
D
who I never met
D
who you dated as soon as I left
G
carolina autumn
G
it had been a year since I saw you
Em
since we ended it
had a year to grow into
Em
the girl you always wanted
C
now we're holding hands
as not quite friends
C
but not quite lovers
well, we'll just pretend
D
you say, it's complicated
to make amends
D
well is that the way
that we're hеaded then?
C
and you couldn't answer mе
Em
though you could pull me in
while I brushed my teeth
G
and let your hands both freely speak
D
like I wasn't ever gonna leave
D
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
G
say "let's just see where this goes.."
Am
and I don't know how or why
you seem just fine
Em
cause I'm having to grasp
F
that you're somehow not mine anymore
Em C
it's so cruel how things are only almost
G
like they were before
Am
like they were before
Em
like they were before
C
like they were before
G
walk downtown and it's charming
G
you're alarmingly disarming
Em
yeah, we've got 48 hours left
Em
before I fly back to my death
C
while you stay just fine
and feel alive
C
south of the mason-dixon line
D
where everyone closes shop at nine
D
where you could somehow finally find
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
did anything ever really count
D
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 looking at you
F
and God knows you're not mine anymore
Em C
it's so cruel how things will never be
G
the way they were before
Am
like they were before
Em
it's almost just like
C
how it was before
G
but it's not anymore
