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