[Intro]
G F C F C
[Verse 1]
CWhen the Atlantic called my name, I Gsaw our lives flash Fright before my “I’s”
C“I do’s”, “I would have’s”, if I Gcould have, then I Fwould’ve had more time tCo think this through
Because the Gfact that I can’t have Fyou, I’m a Cghost, under a lamp post, on my ownG  F  
C*       G*                  F*
I never thought I’d lose the one that turned this town into a home
[Chorus]
CIf her supremacy has shape, Gthen don’t let my name get in her Amway
Let her hold ontFo, don’t let me get through
CMy dearest memories sGtill play, but I wouldn’t ask for one Ammore day
Because if this boy truly broke the Fmold
Please let him be what I thought I could
[Verse 2]
CBe the Gkey to you and Fme, before the drinks, before everything
CI could barely Gbreathe, I fell aFsleep
But it’s so Chard not to Gfalter when your sixth Fsense is picking fights with my Cexistence
I’m terriGfied by all this Fdistance; the ticking time seems so Crelentless
I’m broken Gdown because what I Fmiss is throwing rocks at picket Cfences that signiGfy my broken Fwish list
But tell me, what the hell's the Cdifference in me Gthen vs. Fwhat I have Cbecome
[Chorus]
CIf her supremacy has Gshape, then don’t let my name get in her Amway
Let her hold onto, Fdon’t let me get through
CMy dearest memories still play, Gbut I wouldn’t ask for one more Amday
Because if this boy truly broke the Fmold
Please let him be what I thought I couldC  G  
AmPlease let him Fbe what I thought I couldC  G

CI’ve spent all Gnight Amtrying to stay in Fbetween
CBut with my mind, GI’ve only got one Amheart and Ftwo left feetC
