Maria Mena - Dear

A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A

Intro:

A Asus4 A Asus4 C#m D A

I'll always treasure the naivety of the past we've shared

Asus4 Bm D

Our bodies grew much faster than our minds

D2 F# A Asus4 A

But together we got good at stopping time

A Asus4 A Asus4 C#m D A

My teen angst drove me to hurt myself and I made you watch

Asus4 Bm D D2 F# A

Oh the pain I must have caused, but by staying around u saved my life

A Asus4 A

D D2 F# F#m D2 F# A D

We were never meant to be lovers, just fellow late bloomers

D2 F# A D D2 F# A Asus4

/ /

Who blossomed apart, who blossomed apart

A Asus4 A Asus4 A

A Asus4 A Asus4 C#m

Watching my parents made me look for something destructive

D A

and there you were

Asus4 Bm D D2 F# A Asus4 A

With all the characteristics of my mom, familiarity of home

A Asus4 A Asus4 C#m D A

The geographic gap let to forced adulthood and your rage exposed

Asus4 Bm D

I'm glad we left things when we did,

D2 F# A Asus4 A

I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan

D D2 F# F#m D2 F# A D

/ /

We were never meant to be lovers, we just mirrored each other's

D2 F# A D D2 F# A Asus4

self destructiveness, self destructiveness

A Asus4 A Asus4 A

A Asus4 A Asus4 C#m

The spotlight burned in the room when we were together

D A

and we played our parts

Asus4 Bm D D2 F# A Asus4 A

And I wore an imaginary TV screen, so you never got to touch my heart

D D2 F# F#m D2 F# A D

/ /

We were never meant to be lovers, our egos fed of each other

D2 F# A D D2 F# A Asus4 A Asus4 A

/ /

And died overweight, and died overweight,

A Asus4 A Asus4 A

A Asus4 A Asus4 C#m D A

I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in, but you shut me up

Asus4 Bm D

And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself

D2 F# A

/ ()

And you haven't ever stopped
