[Verse 1]
GThat night on the car ride home,
I loBmoked into your eyes and I could tell something was wrong. 
And now, Emevery time I get stopped at that light, 
I tear up cause it brings me back to tChat night. 
That night that you stopped loving me. 
Your lGove was so cold, fitting for the weather at the time. Bm  
How stupid am I to try and reignite Em  
Something that burned out so long ago? 
If there was somCething I could do to get you back, I’d do it tenfold. 
[Chorus]
I Gjust want you to love me the wCay that you used to. 
The stEmories that we wrDote down mean notChing to you anymoreG. 
I hope you lCie in your bed and you fEmall asleep loDnely like I dCo.
[Verse 2]
All Gmy mistakes, and misunderstandings, 
TheBmy show that I care, they show that I’m trying 
To fiEmgure you out and why you tore me down. 
I’d crCoss an ocean for you but you’d rather see me drown. 
And maybe tGhis empty space is where I belong, 
And I wiBmsh I could erase all the wrong lines that I’ve drawn. 
Cause now you’re mEmessing with me, and you don’t give a fuck. 
So I’m Cdone playing your games cause I’ve been your pawn for far too long.
[Repeat Chorus]
 G   C   Em   D   Cx2

FEmorever in my vision, 
BGut always out of reCach. 
If only you’d leave my mEmind, 
I’d fiGnally get some slCeep. C

[Intro]

G C Em D C

[Verse 1]

That night on the car ride home,

I looked into your eyes and I could tell something was wrong.

And now, every time I get stopped at that light,

I tear up cause it brings me back to that night.

That night that you stopped loving me.

G Bm

Your love was so cold, fitting for the weather at the time.

How stupid am I to try and reignite

Something that burned out so long ago?

If there was something I could do to get you back, I’d do it tenfold.

[Chorus]

G C

I just want you to love me the way that you used to.

Em D C G

The stories that we wrote down mean nothing to you anymore.

C Em D C

I hope you lie in your bed and you fall asleep lonely like I do.

[Verse 2]

All my mistakes, and misunderstandings,

They show that I care, they show that I’m trying

To figure you out and why you tore me down.

I’d cross an ocean for you but you’d rather see me drown.

And maybe this empty space is where I belong,

And I wish I could erase all the wrong lines that I’ve drawn.

Cause now you’re messing with me, and you don’t give a fuck.

So I’m done playing your games cause I’ve been your pawn for far too long.

[Repeat Chorus]

G C Em D C

[Bridge]

Forever in my vision,

G C

But always out of reach.

If only you’d leave my mind,

G C C

I’d finally get some sleep.

[Outro]

G C

I just want you to love me the way that you used to.

Em D C G

The stories that we wrote down mean nothing to you anymore.

C Em D C

I hope you lie in your bed and you fall asleep lonely like I do.
