[Intro]
Em7 G/A Bbdim7 Bm9 B7b9 B7
[Verse 1]
May I Em7ask you "How you've been?"
Would I G/Ahave the words to Bbdim7say
I've Bm7forgotten how to feel
How to cB7b9all you by your B7name
Barely Em7recognize you now
All your G/Awords have turned to sBbdim7tone
You've Bm7forgotten all my songs
You've Bm7forgotten all my love
[Chorus]
DGmaj7on't you know, you make me nerDmaj7vous still
You pull my tGmaj9houghts apart
Though I've been tDmaj9ryna get you off my mind
Gmaj7Give me time cause it still burnDmaj7s my lips
To say your Cmaj7name out loud, my Bm7love
[Instrumental]
Em7 G/A Bbdim7 Bm9 B7b9 B7
[Verse 2]
And by nEm7ow, your smile has changed
You don't G/Alook at me the sBbdim7ame
It's Bm7naive of me to think
That one B7b9day you'll miss B7my name
Em7Promises you said you'd keep
Empty G/Alines between the Bbdim7scenes
Was it Bm7wrong for me to trust?
I'm still Bm7only 17
[Chorus]
DGmaj7on't you know, you make me nerDmaj7vous still
You pull my tGmaj9houghts apart

To say your Cmaj7name out loud, my Bm7love
[Instrumental]

Making me Bm7feel like I lost sanitGmaj7y
And I can't Gm7help but to miss you
Though F#m7I know that there's never a cF#hance
[Chorus]
DGmaj7on't you know, you make me nerDmaj7vous still
You pull my tGmaj9houghts apart
Though I've been tDmaj9ryna get you off my mind
Gmaj7Give me time cause it still burnDmaj7s my lips
To say your Cmaj7name out loud, my Bm7love
