* =  one strum and let it ring
[Intro]
F G
[Verse 1]
I was Cdistracted and in traffic
I didn't fDm7eel it when the earthquake happened
But it really got me Fthinkin', were you out drinkin'?
Were you in the Glivin' room, chillin' watchin' television?
It's been a Cyear now, think I've figured out how
How to let you Amgo and let communication die out
[Pre-Chorus]
       Am           G        C             Em    F*                       
I know, you know, we know you weren't down for forever and it's fine
      Am           G        C            Em     F*                           
I know, you know, we know we weren't meant for each other and it's fine
[Chorus]
But if the world was ending you'd come Fover, right?
You'd come over and you'd Gstay the night
Would you love me for the Chell of it?
All our fears would be irAmrelevant
If the world was ending you'd come Fover right?
The sky'd be falling and I'd Ghold you tight
And there wouldn't be a Creason why
We would even have to Amsay goodbye
If the world was ending you'd come Fover, right? 
RightG?
If the world was ending you'Cd come over, right?
RightAm?
[Verse 2]
I tried to Cimagine your reaction
It didn't Dm7scare me when the earthquake happened
But it really got me Fthinkin', that night we went drinkin'
Stumbled in the Ghouse and didn't make it past the kitchen
Ah, it's been a Cyear now, think I've figured out how
How to think about you Amwithout it rippin' my heart out
[Pre-Chorus]
           Am           G        C             Em    F*

I know, you know, we know we weren't meant for each other and it's fine
[Chorus]
But if the world was ending you'd come Fover, right?
You'd come over and you'd Gstay the night
Would you love me for the Chell of it?
All our fears would be irAmrelevant

The sky'd be falling while I'd Ghold you tight
No, there wouldn't be a Creason why

* = one strum and let it ring

[Intro]

F G

[Verse 1]

I was distracted and in traffic

Dm7

I didn't feel it when the earthquake happened

But it really got me thinkin', were you out drinkin'?

Were you in the livin' room, chillin' watchin' television?

It's been a year now, think I've figured out how

How to let you go and let communication die out

[Pre-Chorus]

Am G C Em F

I know, you know, we know you weren't down for forever and it's fine

Am G C Em F

I know, you know, we know we weren't meant for each other and it's fine

[Chorus]

But if the world was ending you'd come over, right?

You'd come over and you'd stay the night

Would you love me for the hell of it?

All our fears would be irrelevant

If the world was ending you'd come over right?

The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight

And there wouldn't be a reason why

We would even have to say goodbye

If the world was ending you'd come over, right?

Right?

If the world was ending you'd come over, right?

Right?

[Verse 2]

I tried to imagine your reaction

Dm7

It didn't scare me when the earthquake happened

But it really got me thinkin', that night we went drinkin'

Stumbled in the house and didn't make it past the kitchen

Ah, it's been a year now, think I've figured out how

How to think about you without it rippin' my heart out
