[Verse 1]
G
I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue
C
Put you in jail for something you didn‘t do
G
I pinned your hands behind your back, oh
C
Thought I had reason to attack, but no
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves
C
Chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there’s no us
D Em
Why'd I have to break what I love so much?
D C
It's on your face, and I'm to blame, I need to say
[Chorus]
G D Am
Hey, it's all me, in my head
C G
I'm the one who burned us down
D Am
But it's not what I meant
C
Sorry that I hurt you
G D
I don't wanna do, I don’t wanna do this to you (Ooh)
Am C
I don’t wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh)
G D Am
I need to say, hey, it’s all me, just don't go
C
Meet me in the afterglow
[Verse 2]
G
It's so excruciating to see you low
C
Just wanna lift you up and not let you go
G
This ultraviolet morning light below
C
Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
G
I lived like an island, punished you with silence
C
Went off like sirens, just crying
D Em
Why'd I have to break what I love so much?
D C
It’s on your face, don't walk away, I need to say
[Chorus]
G D Am
Hey, it's all me, in my head
C G
I'm the one who burned us down
D Am
But it's not what I meant
C
I'm sorry that I hurt you
G D
I don't wanna do, I don’t wanna do this to you (Ooh)
Am C
I don’t wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh)
G D Am
I need to say, hey, it’s all me, just don't go
C
Meet me in the afterglow
[Bridge]
G
Tell me that you're still mine
D
Tell me that we'll be just fine
Am
Even when I lose my mind, I need to say
G
Tell me that it's not my fault
D
Tell me that I'm all you want
Am
Even when I break your heart, I need to say
[Chorus]
G D Am
Hey, it's all me, in my head
C G
I'm the one who burned us down
D Am
But it's not what I meant
C
Sorry that I hurt you
G D
I don't wanna do, I don’t wanna do this to you (Ooh)
Am C
I don’t wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh)
G D Am
I need to say, hey, it’s all me, just don't go

Meet me in the afterglow
