[A]
[E] I used to think one day I would tell the story [A] of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
[E] And people would [B] say they're the lucky [A] ones
I
[E] used to know my [B] place, lose the spot next to [A] you
Now I'm searching the room for empty [E] seats
Cause lately I don't [B] even know what page you're [A] on
[B] Oh, the simple [C#m] complications, [E]
[A] miscommunications
And the lead [E] to follow, [A] the only things that I wish you knew
[B] See, we're all but I can't break [E] you
Now I'm standing alone [B] in a crowded [A] room
But I can speak
[E] again
And I'm dying to [B] know, is it killing [A] you
But I can't scream it in the air
[C#m] I don't know what to [B] say, it's just a twist [E] up
But you can hear it all [A] broke down
And [C#m] the story of us [B] looks a lot like a tragedy [A] now

[A]
[E] How'd we end up [B] this way
Seeing you nervously [A] pulling my clothes and trying to look busy
[E] And you're doing [B] your best to avoid [A] me
[E] I've gotten to think one [B] day I'll tell the story [A] of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you [E] here
But you held your [B] pride like it should have [A] held you
[B] Oh, I'm scared to [C#m] see the ending
[E]
Why are [A] we pretending this [E] is nothing
[A] I told you I'd make you but I don't know how
[B] I've never heard silence [E] quite this loud
Now I'm standing [B] alone
[A] in a crowded room
But I can speak [E] again
And I'm dying to know, [B] is it killing [A] you
But I can't scream it in the [C#m] air
I don't [B] know what to say, it's just a twist [E] up

[B] [C#m]
[A]
[E] is looking like a contest
[A] Of who can act like they care less
[C#m] But I had a [B] winner, you were on [A] my side
[E] The battle's in your hands [A] now
But I would lay my armor down
[C#m] If you said [B] you'd rather love [A] than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
[B] But the story of us might be ending [E] soon
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded [A] room
And I'm not [E] speaking
And I'm dying to [B] know, is it killing [A] you
But I can't scream it in the air
[C#m] I don't know what to [B] say, it's just a twist [E] up
But you can hear it all [A] broke down
[C#m] And the story of us [B] looks a lot like a tragedy [A] now Now, now
