[Verse 1]
CWasn't this supposed to be fFun?
Dm7But somewhere along the wGay it got heavy
Since I sCaw you from across the lFawn, light as the dG7ay
You said I tCold you what you wanted to hFear
Well, you might be right but I meant eG7very word
CI whispered into your eFar, besides I didn't mean to G7say
[Pre-Chorus]
Before, FI could go compCletely alone for dDm7ays at a time
G7Without getting loCnely
But I gFuess you left a hoCle in my chest
You caDm7rved yourself a spot and now G7I left it open
[Chorus]
It's been Amtoo longC  
I need to hDm7ear your swCeet voice again
YFour sweet vCoice agaiDm7n
It's been Fmaj7too longC  
I need to hDm7ear your swCeet voice againF  
Your swCeet voice agaD7in
[Verse 2]
Well, I haCted that I made you cFry
You wear your heart Dm7on your sleeve
And noG7w you wanna use it to wCipe the tears outta your eFyes
You're getting salt in the wG7ound
I wish you'd crCedit me for how hard I tFried
'Cause some daDm7y you'll find someone G7who loves you better
But fCirst you gotta learn how to fFly on your G7own
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooo, Fyou had tCoo many glasses
You Dm7say you don't remember that convG7ersation
CBut I thFink you know how the saCying goes
About the wDm7ords come out in that kG7inda state
You said sCtay, so I FstaDm7yed quiet
For once Cin my life I knew Fwhat I had to doG7  
[Chorus]
CIt's Fmaj7been too longC  
I need to hDm7ear your sCweet voice againF  
Your sCweet voice aDgain
It's been tFoo longC  
I need to hDm7ear your sweet voice again
Your swCeet voice againF  
Your swCeet voice aD7gain
[Outro]
CWasn't this supposed to be fFun?
But somDm7ewhere along the G7way it got heavy
Since I sCaw you from across the lFawn, light as the G7day
