Intro:    G     D/F#     Em7     D  Dsus  
  GI’m standing in the place we D/F#met
Heart shakes, and then Em7I sweat
                             D(Dsus)
It’s so hard to see that it’s all over
  GWhat did I do to make this eD/F#nd?
And could I really be your Em7friend?
                         D(Dsus)
I can barely just pretend it’s over
  GI’m standing in the place we fD/F#irst kissed
There’s so much I Em7miss
                              D(Dsus)
This I can’t resist cause I’m all over
  GWhere we took our first photoD/F#graph,
And where I first held your hand and lEm7aughed
                                     D(Dsus)
Awkward moments like that have passed, it’s over
(bridge)
AmYou’re fine and I believe it
GI’m something you never needed
                            Am     D(Dsus)
I can’t say the same for you
(chorus)
     GBut there’s a first time for D/F#everything
And I’ll fall in lEm7ove again
                  D(Dsus)       G  
When I begin my second time around
It’s the last time I’ll tD/F#hink of you
You can do what you’d Em7like to do
                            D(Dsus)
But if you only knew I’m never coming back
(The rest is the same chord progression, G, D/F#, Em7, D)
I’m standing in the place we first said goodbye
I don’t know why, I so relied on you for my smile
I laid happiness in your hands
And I don’t really understand
The cost was more than I could stand
It was miles wide
(bridge)
(chorus)
