[Intro]
D F#m E D F#m E
[Verse 1]
A
I'm terrified we'll end up like my parents
F#m E
Together but alone
A
I'm lost in my head, and it's a wilderness
F#m E
And I've never felt the winter quite this cold
[Pre-Chorus]
D
But you're in the next room over
F#m E
Drinking tequila on ice
D
And I'd be six months sober
F#m E
If you're my vice
[Chorus]
D
And if your walls were mountains
F#m E
I would shake you like an earthquake
D
'Cause baby, your heart's in another place
F#m E D F#m E
When you look at me, boy, you might as well be in Alaska
[Verse 2]
A
Empty wine glasses, leaky air mattress
F#m E
And all the wild nights we spent
A
Feelin' so in love, we couldn't get close enough
D F#m E
I wonder where the hell that went
[Pre-Chorus]
D
'Cause you're in the next room over
F#m E
Drinking tequila on ice
D
And I'd be six months sober
F#m E
If you're my vice
[Chorus]
D
And if your walls were mountains
F#m E
I would shake you like an earthquake
D
'Cause baby, your heart's in another place
F#m E D F#m E
When you look at me, boy, you might as well be in Alaska
[Interlude]
D F#m E
[Bridge]
F#m D
I always pictured us tangled up somewhere south of the border
Bm F#m E
Oh, and what I'd give to fix all this and feel you closer
[Pre-Chorus]
D
But you're in the next room over
F#m E
Drinking tequila on ice
D
And I'd be six months sober
F#m E
If you're my vice
[Chorus]
D
And if your walls were mountains
F#m E
I would shake you like an earthquake
D
'Cause baby, your heart's in another place
F#m E D F#m E D F#m E D
When you look at me, boy, you might as well be in Alaska
[Outro]
F#m E D F#m E
When you look at me, boy, you might as well be in Alaska
