[Intro]
C G
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
Em D
All of my change I spent on you
C G
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Em D
Where are the plans we made for two?
[Main]
C
Yeah, 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 down
[Bridge]
C G
I've wasted my nights,
Em
You turned out the lights
D
Now I'm pa-ra-lyzed,
C
Still stuck in that time,
G
When we called it love,
Em D-
But even the sun sets in pa-ra-dise
[Main]
C G
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
Em D
All of my change I spent on you
C G
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Em D
Where are the plans we made for two?
CG
If "Happy Ever After" did exist,
Em D
I would still be holding you like this
C G
All those fairy tales are full of shit
Em D--
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick.
C
Oh, 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,
D
But all of our bridges burned down
[Bridge]
C G
I've wasted my nights,
Em
You turned out the lights
D
Now I'm pa-ra-lyzed,
C
Still stuck in that time,
G
When we called it love,
Em D-
But even the sun sets in pa-ra-dise
[Main]
C G
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
