[Verse 1]
I couldn't mEm7ove, saw it tCadd9here across the roGom
Saw your nEm7ame, top corneCadd9r ink, it's tooGsoon
Half of Em7mehad hoped you'd lCadd9ost my addrDess
The other hEm7alf an uncoCadd9ntrollable mGess
You kept the pAm7hotos and the key
Why did yCadd9ou let go of mDe?
[Chorus 1]
I'm fEm7alling aCadd9part in my apartment
On the Em7floor of my room, locked Cadd9door, pictures of Dyou
CoEm7vered in teardrops, coCadd9unting the years lost
Cut the Em7tape, open Cadd9up, like I dGid when you played tDough
But when I tAm7hink I've hurt eCadd9nough
You send a bAm7ox of my sDtuff folded Em7upC  G  Em7  C  G  
[Verse 2]
These Em7days, nCadd9othing feels the sGame
But your Em7handwriting Cadd9hasn't chGanged
And the Em7way you tucked the sCadd9leeves inside
The pGerfect fit, your hDand in mine
These Em7days, nCadd9othing feels the sGame
Every mAm7onth was once a rose
Now you're seCadd9nding back my clDothes
[Chorus 2]
And I'm Em7falling Cadd9apart in my apartment
On the fEm7loor of my Cadd9room, locked Gdoor, pictures of Dyou
Em7Covered in teardrops, Cadd9counting the years lost
Cut the Em7tape, open Cadd9up, like you Gdid when you were Ddrunk
But when I Am7think I've cried Cadd9enough
You send a Am7box of my Dstuff folded Cadd9upD  
[Bridge]
You Cadd9took my things off of the shelf
Em7Signed your name with nothing else
Now I'm Gleft here with my, with myself
This is Dhell, this is hell, this is hellAm7  
You're Cadd9probably pacing back and forth
QEm7uestioning all this was worth
Did you Gexpect a simple text?
Did you Dchange the "babe" to "ex" in your Am7phone?
I'd tell you no, but you won't Cadd9hear from me anyDmore
[Chorus 3]
'Cause I'm fEm7alling Cadd9apart in Gmy apDartment
On the fEm7loor of my Cadd9room, locked Gdoor, pictures of Dyou
Are Em7covered in Cadd9teardrops, I'm Gcounting the Dyears lost
Cut the Em7tape, open Cadd9up, thought Gmaybe I'd be Dtough
But when I tAm7hink I'm strong Cadd9enough
You send a Am7box of my sDtuff folded Am7up
You send a Em7box in case I forDgot
We broke Cadd9up
