Verse 1:

The feeling starts

F#m D

to sink in But

it's beginning

to rust Still

hanging onto the

things that we

discussed But the

point that was made

isn't said and done

Now the sun shines

so bright but it

won't shine for you

You remind me of

rain in July And

the gloom that I

felt for a year

And the clouds are

always shaped just

like you But there's

Em F#m D

a parting light

Chorus:

G F#m D G

I always told

F#m D

you that someday

G F#m D

I would be packing

G F#m Em

my bags and I would

G F#m D

be on my way You

always laughed

F#m D

in my face And made

G F#m

the world seem so

D G

grey Lay in the bed

F#m Em

that you made So I

G F#m D

can finally say

that I'm fine You

F#m D G F#m

can just say whate-ver

I won't change my mind

G F#m Em

cuz I know that I'm

G F#m D

better off But I am

G F#m D

cursed with a staircase

G F#m D

wit Always find the

G F#m Em

words when it's too

G F#m

late to let them slip

Verse 2:

Bm G

Don't judge me

D Em

on my bad habits

I could pick out

G D

every flaw of yours

And unearth all

Em Bm G D

your imperfections.

Beneath the surface

Bm G D

I have seen The ugly

truth behind the

G F#m

beauty queen

(Repeat Chorus)

D Em G Bm A G

Interlude:

Bridge:

Held it back

Lost the nerve

Was too scared

to talk when you

gave me your hand

And you gave me

your heart When

Bm A

you should have

kept it to yourself

Outro:

D Em

You should have

G Bm

kept it kept

A G D Em G

it to yourself

I wish you'd kept

A G(hold)

it to yourself
