Hey there guys, unfortunately, I didnt film the bridge, and online I dont find a version where 
I can see the chords he's playing, so let me know if you have suggestions for the bridge. It looks like
mix of G and C. I think...
[Verse]
She was Gtrying to talk some Emsense to me but C/Gmy mind was Ggone
Then she Gfigured out the Emroute my train of C/Gthoughts were Gon
I Gwanted to get Emoutta there she C/Gsaid are you Gsure
I said you Gthink you know what's Emhappening but C/GI know Gmore
I was Grunning out of Emmoney but I C/Gpaid anyGway
but she Gtaught me in her Emlanguage what she C/Gwants me to Gsay
is there Gany place you'd Emrather be in C/Gthis whole Gworld
than a Gcab ride through BerEmlin chasing NorC/Gwegian Ggirls
[Chorus]
I thought I Dknew what I had but she D7had me from the start
and gave me Gmost of what I Emwanted but left C/Gout the best Gpart
[Verse]
someGwhere along the Emline we got a C/Glittle off Gtrack
and I Gsaid some awful Emthings and I take C/Gmost of them Gback
don't Gread too much Eminto this I'm a C/Gcomplicated Gman
she said: surGprisingly you're Emnot that hard to C/GunderGstand
[Bridge]
she played her Dcards close to her chest
I put the Dhorse before the cart
DLead her through the backstreets of DCampton in the dark
DGetting reaquainted with her Dlost high school heart
She said it's Dgetting to the end I thought we D7didn't even start
she played her Dcards close to her D7chest
I put the Dhorse before the cart
She gave me Gmost of what I Emwanted but left C/Gout the best Gpart
She gave me Gmost of what I Emwanted...C/G  G  
She gave me Gmost of what I Emwanted...C/G  G  
She gave me Gmost of what I Emwanted but left C/Gout the best Gpart
