Intro
Em C G D (x2)
[Verso 1]
Em
Ive been staring at the ceiling
C
Trying not to lose my mind
G
Every little thing Im feeling
D
Hits me like its the first time
Em
And your name is in the silence
C
Like a song I cant forget
G
I keep hoping youll come find me
D
But you havent yet
[Pré-Refrão]
C
And I dont know why I still wait
G
Like youre gonna walk through the door
D
But the more I try to move on
Em
I miss you more
[Refrão]
C
So take me back to the night
G
When you said itd be alright
D
When the world felt small and quiet
Em
And you held me like I was your life
C
Now Im stuck in the afterglow
G
Of a love I cant let go
D
And Im breaking just to hide it
Em
Cause I miss you, and you dont know
[Verso 2]
Em
I see you in the city lights
C
In the way the summer ends
G
In the songs that dont feel right
D
Cause they all remind me of then
Em
And I swear I tried to hate you
C
But my heart wont play along
G
Cause even when Im with new people
D
I still feel alone
[Pré-Refrão]
C
And I dont know why I still care
G
When you dont even say my name
D
But its hard to forget someone
Em
Who felt like fate
[Refrão]
C
So take me back to the night
G
When you said itd be alright
D
When the world felt small and quiet
Em
And you held me like I was your life
C
Now Im stuck in the afterglow
G
Of a love I cant let go
D
And Im breaking just to hide it
Em
Cause I miss you, and you dont know
[Ponte]
Em
Maybe I was just a moment
C
Maybe you were just a phase
G
But you left a scar inside me
D
That I carry everyday
Em
And I wish I could erase you
C
Like you erased me that night
G
But youre the reason Im still up
D
At 2am, no sleep in sight
[Refrão]
C
So take me back to the night
G
When you said itd be alright
D
When the world felt small and quiet
Em
And you held me like I was your life
C
Now Im stuck in the afterglow
G
Of a love I cant let go
D
And Im breaking just to hide it
Em
Cause I miss you and you dont know
