Verse
A
I see you around
E/G# F#m7 Cadd9
That ring around your finger says you're better now
A E/G#
I tried to find the words to say
F#m7
Without letting regret
Cadd9
Get the best of me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A
Fell for you
E/G#
That summer on the east coast
F#m7 Cadd9
Up till dawn just doin what we want
A
Standing there
E/G#
With nothin but my shirt on
F#m7
Got me tongue tied
Cadd9
Just looking at you
[Chorus 1]
A
Though many come and go
E/G#
Well it's just not the same
F#m7
Comfort you'll never know
Cadd9
Baby, you're not to blame
A
I shoulda married you
E/G#
You shoulda carried my name
F#m7
Feels like I buried youth
Cadd9
Looks like you did the same
A E/G# F#m7 Cadd9
[Verse 2]
A
It's been years now
E/G# F#m7
And the last time that we spoke
Cadd9
My head was in the clouds
A E/G#
These letters that I'll never send
F#m7
No matter how they start
Cadd9
I always know how they end
A E/G#
Talk to me, girl, what am I supposed to do?
F#m7
I'm just a little caught up
Cadd9
In overcoming you
A E/G#
Memories in the night that I can't shake
F#m7 Cadd9
Polaroids in my bed
Reflecting better days
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A
Fell for you
E/G#
That summer on the east coast
F#m7 Cadd9
Up till dawn just doin what we want
A
Up all night
E/G#
Just talking bout our future
F#m7
And if we run
Cadd9
We'll have each other's back
[Chorus 2]
A
Though many come and go
E/G#
Well it's just not the same
F#m7
Comfort you'll never know
Cadd9
Baby, you're not to blame
A
I shoulda let you know
E/G#
Though you drive me insane
F#m7
Made me a better man
Cadd9
Words I'll take to my grave
[Bridge]
A E/G#
I remember the way you said my name
F#m7
And how your hands started to shake
Cadd9
Your face was melting in the rain, whoa oh
A E/G#
Leaning up against the hood of my car
F#m7
Speaking softly in the night
Cadd9 A E/G#
Under barely visible stars
F#m7 Cadd9
Under barely visible stars
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A
Stuck on you
E/G#
That summer on the east coast
F#m7
Up till dawn
Cadd9
Thinking I was wrong
A
Why can't I erase you?
E/G#
I tried to replace you
F#m7 Cadd9
But I'm hearing her in every song
[Chorus 3]
A
Though many come and go
E/G#
Well itâs just not the same
F#m7
Comfort you'll never know
Cadd9
Baby, you're not to blame
A
Shoulda ran after you
E/G#
Chasing your car through the rain
F#m7
The tears that clouded your eyes
Cadd9 A E/G# F#m7
Now I'm just screaming at your grave
Cadd9 A E/G#
You should've carried my name
F#m7 Cadd9 A
You could've carried my name
