[Verse 1]

G
You're not her
                        C                D
Though I try to see you differently
G
I toe the line
                           C             D
See I'm searching for what used to be, mine  ooohhhh
G
I Saw your eyes
                       C                 D
Then I saw Alice staring back at me
G
And I will try
G                         C
To find another one who's suited to me
   D
As well as her


[Pre-Hook]

C           D        Em
I've moved, far away from you
G
And I want to
C       D              Em
See you here beside me dear
                  G
but things aren't clear


[Hook]

C                 D
And we never even tried
              Em
We never even talked
              G
We never even thought in the long run
C               D
Whenever it was painful
               Em
Whenever I was away
    G
I'd miss you
          C
I miss you


[Verse 2]

G
She was mine

I was hers
               C            D
And all that's in between
G
if she would cry

I would shelter her
    C                          D
And keep her from the darkness that will be


[Pre-Hook]

C           D        Em
If I moved, far away from you
G
And I want to
C       D              Em
See you here beside me dear
                  G
but things aren't clear


[Hook]

C                 D
And we never even tried
              Em
We never even talked
              G
We never even thought in the long run
C               D
Whenever it was painful
               Em
Whenever I was away
    G
I'd miss you
          C            D
I miss you


[Bridge]

G
Don't drop me in, it's not my turn
C
If you cut deep then I might learn

That you
Em         D              G            C
Scarred and left me, like a sunburn
G
Don't drop me in, it's not my turn
C
if you cut deep then I might learn
Em
That you
            D                           C
Scar and leave me, like a sunburn


[Hook]

C                 D
And we never even tried
              Em
We never even talked
              G
We never even thought in the long run
C               D
Whenever it was painful
               Em
Whenever I was away
    G
I'd miss you
          C
I miss you
