[Intro]
Fmaj7  E7  Cmaj7  C7
[Chorus]
We got Fmaj7history (history)
Got me feeling the nostalgia
When you E7look at me (look at me)
Thinking 'bout what could've happened
Or what Cmaj7could've been
Finally a face I know, ain't that a C7sight to see
Take my time then take your clothes off
One more tFmaj7ime, maybe
Actin' like you don't recall, it ain't iE7mpressin' me
Didn't come to see your friends, I know you Cmaj7came for me
Like your dress, but you fit better in my C7wrinkled tee
We moved on to newer things, but we got Fmaj7history
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Put my feelings all aside
Don't know E7how to make it right
Pictures poppin' on my mind
All Cmaj7these occasions
Let's work it out with me
I don't C7think it hurts to give another try on it
Ain't Fmaj7nobody here know you like I do
Ask all your E7friends if they know 'bout your size of shoes
How you like to Cmaj7cry when you laugh, when you off the booze
I moved on but C7I still remember a thing or two
I Fmaj7know you said "gimme a hug," and I said "gimme a E7break"
I wasn't trying my best, all the mistakes that I madeCmaj7  
I'm learning that it ain't the right move
Learned from C7my mistakes, ain't that what the adults do?
[Chorus]
We got Fmaj7history (history)
Got me feeling the nostalgia
When you E7look at me (look at me)
Thinking 'bout what could've happened
Or what Cmaj7could've been
Finally a face I know, ain't that a C7sight to see
Take my time then take your clothes off
One more Fmaj7time, maybe
Actin' like you don't recall, it ain't E7impressin' me
Didn't come to see your friends, I know you Cmaj7came for me
Like your dress, but you fit better in my C7wrinkled tee
We moved on to newer things, but we got Fmaj7history
[Instrumental]
Fmaj7  E7  Cmaj7  C7
[Verse 2]
Bet you got nobody 'round to make your Fmaj7day better
Sun brighter, don't got too much time, so girl, let's E7love now
And call it later, put your pride aside and let Cmaj7me in
You know I got better since
You so good at self cC7ontrol, but maybe now it's time for change
I've been Fmaj7alone for so long, got the one
Didn't realize E7good ones exist in the world 'til I lost one
Cmaj7Eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind
C7Things I would give to feel your lips for the last timeFmaj7  
Go and hang with your friends, I'll put this bullshit to E7end
I rained on your parade and I just wish you the beCmaj7st
I think it's time for me to bounce soon
I just C7wish I had someone to say "I'm home" to
[Chorus]
We got Fmaj7history (history)
Got me feeling the nostalgia
When you E7look at me (look at me)
Thinking 'bout what could've happened
Or what Cmaj7could've been
Finally a face I know, ain't that a C7sight to see
Take my time then take your clothes off
One more Fmaj7time, maybe
Actin' like you don't recall, it ain't imE7pressin' me
Didn't come to see your friends, I know you Cmaj7came for me
Like your dress, but you fit better in my C7wrinkled tee
We moved on to newer things, but we got Fmaj7history

[Chorus]

Fmaj7

We got history (history)

Got me feeling the nostalgia

When you look at me (look at me)

Thinking 'bout what could've happened

Cmaj7

Or what could've been

Finally a face I know, ain't that a sight to see
