[Intro] 
G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G
[Verse 1]
  GI spent the last few years really struggling yeDsus2ah
Dsus2From fighting urges and just screaming through
All the Cfriendships and the fuckups
And the Emnights that Ggot away Cfrom us
[Verse 2]
  GSo I lined up a bottle for each question asDsus2ked
Dsus2I closed a chapter on a city that contained most
And Clanded in some outer borough
Where I Empicked up the Gkeys from your Cneighbor next door
[Verse 3]
  GYou may have been bounced around yourself now once or twDsus2ice
Dsus2You may have mentioned it when we were passing in the night
But Coh! I remind you of a place you come from
I said, you Emprobably Gshould take more Cpride in that
[Fill]
C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
[Chorus]
   Fmaj7And I see how Cwe drifted apart
   Fmaj7I'm only comfortable looking Cat you when I talFmaj7k
You've been a good friend,    Cdarling
But just Gnot a lover Cyet
[Verse 4]
   GSo we spent the best years painting pictures oDsus2f
Dsus2The adults we knew or the adults that we were running from
But Coh, the things I could've said to you then
If I'd the Emman speaking Gfor the boy I Cwas back then
[Verse 5]
  GThose were last words I said when I was 17
Dsus2I    look at you now and I think,
Oh my God, I'm abCout as together and with it
and clever as I Emever Gwas back Cthen

[Intro]

G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G

[Verse 1]

G Dsus2

I spent the last few years really struggling yeah

Dsus2

From fighting urges and just screaming through

All the friendships and the fuckups

Em G C

And the nights that got away from us

[Verse 2]

G Dsus2

So I lined up a bottle for each question asked

Dsus2

I closed a chapter on a city that contained most

And landed in some outer borough

Em G C

Where I picked up the keys from your neighbor next door

[Verse 3]

G Dsus2

You may have been bounced around yourself now once or twice

Dsus2

You may have mentioned it when we were passing in the night

But oh! I remind you of a place you come from

Em G C

I said, you probably should take more pride in that

[Fill]

C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

[Chorus]

Fmaj7 C

And I see how we drifted apart

Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk

You've been a good friend, darling

G C

But just not a lover yet

[Verse 4]

G Dsus2

So we spent the best years painting pictures of

Dsus2

The adults we knew or the adults that we were running from

But oh, the things I could've said to you then

Em G C

If I'd the man speaking for the boy I was back then

[Verse 5]

Those were last words I said when I was 17

Dsus2

I look at you now and I think,

Oh my God, I'm about as together and with it

Em G C

and clever as I ever was back then

[Fill]

C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

[Chorus]

Fmaj7 C

And I see how we drifted apart

Fmaj7 C Fmaj7

I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk

You've been a good friend, darling

But just not a lover yet

[Outro]

Fmaj7 Em C Fmaj7

But old---- bones hold in place these dates

Em C Fmaj7

Old---- bones carry me where I am
