[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][F#m][G]
[Bm][F#m][G]
[Bm][D][F#m][G]

[Verse 1]
I watched [G]the
bonds we made give [Bm]way on your f[A]ront porch that [G]May
You begged me to go,
but I [D]think that [Em]I sho[E]uld st[A]ay[G]
I wanna know how much you [Bm]hate me
Before I [A]go across [G]the country,
before I go across [D]the coun[A]try[F#m]

[Verse 2]
[G]So act like you never car[Bm]ed
about a [F#m]spark that [D]wasn't [Em]there
But don't forget how [F#m]hard
[D]you tried to let [G]me down
But I [Bm]wouldn't break [D]free
I never [Em]wanted to be the weight
[F#m]that y[D]ou buried
[F#m][G][Bm][D]

[Verse 3]
I'm [G]stuck
stateside with you in my head
I couldn't [Bm]even [G]get[Bm]
[D]away to New [G]England
So next time that you're on
your kitchen floor
Remember me and what we used to be
And how I couldn't care
less [A]any[D] more
[G]

[Verse 4]
So act like you never [Bm]cared
about a [F#m]spark [D]that wasn't [Em]there
[E]But [Em]don't forget how [F#m]hard
[D]you tried to let [G]me down
But I [Bm]wouldn't break [D]free
I never [Em]wanted [E]to [Em]be the
[D]weight that you buried
[G]

[Verse 5]
I'll [D]hold on [G]to [D]everything
you've tried to take
[G]'Cause I'm gone,
I'm the [D]smile you couldn't [G]fake
I'll hold on to [D]everything
you've tried to take
[G]'Cause I'm gone,
I'm the [D]smile you [Em]could[D]n't fake
[F#m]May be[G] I'll end up back in your bed
[D]Or in a makeshift one in [G]the back
of my van
[Bm][F#m][D]

[Verse 6]
[F#m]
I've [G]learned to not rule out [Bm]anything when it [F#m]comes [D]to you and me,
[Em]exce[E]pt f[Em]or consistency[D][F#m]
[D]And hal[G]f of what mattered then
won't matter any[Bm]more[D]
And [Em]at t[E]hat time I'll be in anothe[D]r state,
on another floor
In an[G]other state, on another floor
