[Verse 1]
Emaj7Beautiful catastropD#m7he
So casually
You added C#m7me to your life
See sBin in your eyes
But Emaj7you took me in, so I thank you for that
And D#m7you filled the void that was made from my dad
And C#m7brought out a side that you thought that I had
So, frBankly, I'm glad
And thank you for that
But Emaj7after you left and you'd never come back
I D#m7tossed in my sheets and I ripped them to rags
My C#m7heart couldn't breath cause I'm taking a drag of Byou
But somehow I'm not even mad at Emaj7you
I know my life will go on and D#m7on
My story long
Your story C#m7gone
So I made a song
Just where you're wrBong
[Chorus]
Emaj7Oh, how daunting you aD#m7re
I opened my C#m7arms
We laid in my Bcar
Six feet under starEmaj7s
I'm falling apD#m7art
You left in the dC#m7ark
And messed with my hBeart
Emaj7Oh, how daunting you aD#m7re
I opened my C#m7arms
We laid in my Bcar
Six feet under starEmaj7s
I'm falling apD#m7art
You left in the dC#m7ark
And messed with my hBeart
[Verse 2]
Emaj7Hue's dark and I'm feeling confused
D#m7I was not ready for this type of news
C#m7Who would be in a particular mood
To be Bused and just be left in the street with their feet bare?
  Emaj7But you cared
I just assumed
D#m7You said you loved me that day in your room
When you pC#m7layed with my hair and we suddenly stared at the mBoon
 Emaj7And I don't call that karma
But D#m7look at your life marijuana
I'm C#m7missing your dad and your momma
Tell 'em to cBall me whenever they wanna
  Emaj7And you know I'm scared out here
But I'm lD#m7iving and making a life of my own
  C#m7I'll do it alone 
  BI'll do it alone 
[Chorus]
Emaj7Oh, how daunting you aD#m7re
I opened my C#m7arms
We laid in my Bcar
Six feet under starEmaj7s
I'm falling apD#m7art
You left in the dC#m7ark
And messed with my hBeart
Emaj7Oh, how daunting you aD#m7re
I opened my C#m7arms
We laid in my Bcar
Six feet under starEmaj7s
I'm falling apD#m7art
You left in the dC#m7ark

[Verse 1]

Emaj7 D#m7

Beautiful catastrophe

So casually

C#m7

You added me to your life

See sin in your eyes

Emaj7

But you took me in, so I thank you for that

D#m7

And you filled the void that was made from my dad

C#m7

And brought out a side that you thought that I had

So, frankly, I'm glad

And thank you for that

Emaj7

But after you left and you'd never come back

D#m7

I tossed in my sheets and I ripped them to rags

C#m7 B

My heart couldn't breath cause I'm taking a drag of you

Emaj7

But somehow I'm not even mad at you

D#m7

I know my life will go on and on

My story long

C#m7

Your story gone

So I made a song

Just where you're wrong

[Chorus]

Emaj7 D#m7

Oh, how daunting you are

C#m7

I opened my arms

We laid in my car

Emaj7

Six feet under stars

D#m7

I'm falling apart

C#m7

You left in the dark

And messed with my heart

Emaj7 D#m7

Oh, how daunting you are

C#m7

I opened my arms

We laid in my car

Emaj7

Six feet under stars

D#m7

I'm falling apart

C#m7

You left in the dark

And messed with my heart

[Verse 2]

Emaj7

Hue's dark and I'm feeling confused

D#m7

I was not ready for this type of news

C#m7

Who would be in a particular mood

To be used and just be left in the street with their feet bare?

Emaj7

But you cared

I just assumed

D#m7

You said you loved me that day in your room

C#m7 B

When you played with my hair and we suddenly stared at the moon

Emaj7

And I don't call that karma

D#m7

But look at your life marijuana

C#m7

I'm missing your dad and your momma

Tell 'em to call me whenever they wanna

Emaj7

And you know I'm scared out here

D#m7

But I'm living and making a life of my own

C#m7

I'll do it alone

[Chorus]

Emaj7 D#m7

Oh, how daunting you are

C#m7

I opened my arms

We laid in my car

Emaj7

Six feet under stars

D#m7

I'm falling apart

C#m7

You left in the dark

And messed with my heart

Emaj7 D#m7

Oh, how daunting you are

C#m7

I opened my arms

We laid in my car

Emaj7

Six feet under stars

D#m7

I'm falling apart

C#m7

You left in the dark

And messed with my heart
