Capo on 1st fret.
Intro:
 Em-  G|  D/F#-  Em|  Em–  G–  Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
Verse:
    Em-  G|  D/F#-  Em  
Hello, it's me.
        Em–  G–  Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
I was wondering if you'd like to meet,
     Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
To go over, everything 
     Em–  G–  Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
They say that time's a healer, but I ain't done much healing.
    Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
Hello, can you hear me?
        Em–  G–  Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be 
    Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
When we were younger and we were free.
        Em–  G–  Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet.
Chorus: 
HelAmlo froCm the D/F#other Gside, AmI musCt've D/F#called Ga thousand times 
To Amtell yCou I'D/F#m sorryG, for AmeveryCthing D/F#that IG've done
       Am      C     D/F#      G      Am      CD/F#(hold)

 Em-  G|  D/F#-  Em  
Hello, how are you?
        Em–  G–  Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
It's so typical of me to talk about myself.
     Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
And I'm sorry, I hope that you're well
     Em–  G–  Em-  G|  D/F#- Em  
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
Bridge:
GThere's such a difference between us
Emand a mD/F#illion milCes.
GIt's no secret that the both of us 
Emare runD/F#ning out oCf time.    x2
Chorus: 
HelAmlo froCm the D/F#other Gside, AmI musCt havD/F#e tried Ga thousand times 
To Amtell yCou I'D/F#m sorryG, for AmbreakCing yD/F#our heaGrt
