[Intro]
I'm at a Csus2payphone trying to G5call home
All of my Em7change I spent on Dsus4you
Where have the Csus2times gone baby
It's G5all wrong
Where are the Em7plans we made for Dsus4two
[Verse]
Yeah, Csus2I, I know it's hard to remember
G5The people we used to be
Em7It's even harder to picture
Dsus4That you're not here next to me
Csus2You say it's too late to make it
G5But is it too late to try?
Em7And in our time that you wasted
Dsus4All of our bridges burned Csus2down
[Pre-Chorus]
I've wasted my G5nights
You turned out the Em7lights
Now I'm paraDsus4lyzed
Still stuck in that Csus2time
When we called it G5love
But even the Em7sun sets in paraDsus4dise
[Chorus]
I'm at a Csus2payphone trying to G5call home
All of my Em7change I spent on Dsus4you
Where have the Csus2times gone baby
It's G5all wrong
Where are the Em7plans we made for Dsus4two
If happy G/Bever Csus2after did existG5  
I would still be Em7holding you like this
Dsus4All those fairyCsus2tales are full of G5it
One more stupid Em7love song I'll be Dsus4sick
[Verse]
Csus2You turned your back on tomorrow
G5Cause you forgot yesterday
Em7I gave you my love to borrow
Dsus4But you just gave it away
Csus2You can't expect me to be fine
G5I don't expect you to care
Em7I know I've said it before
But Dsus4all of our bridges burned Csus2down
[Pre-Chorus]
I've wasted my G5nights
You turned out the Em7lights
Now I'm paraDsus4lyzed
Still stuck in that Csus2time
When we called it G5love
But even the Em7sun sets in paraDsus4dise
[Chorus]
I'm at a Csus2payphone trying to G5call home
All of my Em7change I spent on Dsus4you
Where have the Csus2times gone baby
It's G5all wrong
Where are the Em7plans we made for Dsus4two
If happy G/Bever Csus2after did existG5  
I would still be Em7holding you like this
Dsus4All those fairyCsus2tales are full of G5it
One more stupid Em7love song I'll be Dsus4sick
