E B A
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
E B A
And people would say "They're the lucky ones"
E B A
I used to know my place was the spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
E B A
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
B C#m
Oh, a simple complication
A E
Miscommunications lead to fallout
A
So many things that I wish you knew
B
So many walls up I can't break through
E B A
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
E B A
And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
C#m B E
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
(E) A
When it all broke down
C#m B A
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter
B C#m E A
E B
How'd we end up this way?
A
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
E B A
And you're doing your best to avoid me
E B A
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
E B A
But you held your pride like you should've held me
B C#m
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
A E
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
A
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
B
I've never heard silence quite this loud
E B A
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
E B A
And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
C#m B E
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
(E) A
When it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

B C#m E A
E
This is looking like a contest
A
Of who can act like they care less
C#m B A
But I liked it better when you were on my side
E
The battle's in your hands now
A
But I would lay my armour down
C#m B A
If you said you'd rather love than fight
A
So many things that you wish I knew
B
But the story of us might be ending soon
E B A
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
E B A
And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
C#m B E
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
A
When it all broke down
C#m B A E B A
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me?

I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
