Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
I'm at a [C]payphone, trying to [G]call home
All of my [Em]change I spent on [D]you
Where have the [C]times gone?
Baby, it's [G]all wrong
Where are the [Em]plans we made for [D]two?

[Verse 1]
Yeah, [C]I, I know it's hard to remember
[G]The people we used to be
[Em]It's even harder to picture
[D]That you're not here next to me
[C]You say it's too late to make it
[G]But is it too late to try?
[Em]And in our time that you wasted
[D]All of our bridges burned

[Pre-chorus 1]
[C](down) I've wasted my [G]nights
You turned out the [Em]lights
Now I'm para[D]lyzed
Still stuck in that [C]time, when we called it [G]love
But even the [Em]sun sets in parad[D]ise

[Chorus 2]
I'm at a [C]payphone, trying to [G]call home
All of my [Em]change I spent on [D]you
Where have the [C]times gone?
Baby, it's [G]all wrong
Where are the [Em]plans we made for [D]two?
If "happy ever [C]after" did [G]exist
I would still be [Em]holding you like [D]this
All those fairy [C]tales are full of [G]shit
One more fucking [Em]love song,
I'll be [D]sick, oh

[Verse 2]
[C]You turned your back on tomorrow
[G]'Cause you forgot yesterday
[Em]I gave you my love to borrow
[D]But you just gave it away
[C]You can't expect me to be fine
[G]I don't expect you to care
[Em]I know I've said it before
But [D]all of our bridges burned

[Pre-chorus 2]
[C](down) I've wasted my [G]nights
You turned out the [Em]lights
Now I'm para[D]lyzed
Still stuck in that [C]time, when we called it [G]love
But even the [Em]sun sets in parad[D]ise

[Chorus 3]
I'm at a [C]payphone, trying to [G]call home
All of my [Em]change I spent on [D]you
Where have the [C]times gone?
Baby, it's [G]all wrong
Where are the [Em]plans we made for [D]two?
If "happy ever [C]after" did [G]exist
I would still be [Em]holding you like [D]this
All those fairy [C]tales are full of [G]shit
One more fucking [Em]love song,
I'll be [D]sick

[Verse 3]
Now, I'm at a pay
[C](phone) Man, fuck that shit
[G]I'll be out spending all this money
while you sitting 'round
[Em]Wondering why it wasn't you
who came up from nothing
[D]Made it from the bottom, now,
when you see me, I'm stunning
[C]And all of my cars start
with a push of a button
[G]Telling me the chances I blew up
or whatever you call it
[Em]Switched the number to my phone
so you never could call it
[D]Don't need my name on my show,
you can tell it I'm ballin'
[C]Swish, what a shame could have got picked
[G]Had a really good game,
but you missed your last [Em]shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or [D]what you could have saw,
but sad to say it's over for
[C]Phantom pulled up, valet open doors
[G]Wished I'd go away,
got what you was looking for
[Em]Now it's me who they want, so you can go
And take that [D]little piece of shit with you

[Chorus 4]
I'm at a [C]payphone, trying to [G]call home
All of my [Em]change I spent on [D]you
Where have the [C]times gone?
Baby, it's [G]all wrong
Where are the [Em]plans we made for [D]two?
If "happy ever [C]after" did [G]exist
I would still be [Em]holding you like [D]this
All those fairy [C]tales are full of [G]shit
One more fucking [Em]love song,
I'll be [D]sick
Now, I'm at a payphone
