Intro: C Em F Am G
 
[Verso 1]
C
Took a wrong turn this evening
Em
Kinda hope I'd catch you leaving
F
'Cause part of me is still believing
Am G
You'll call me sometime

Em
Like fresh snow doesn't come with shoe prints

It won't even take me two drinks
Am G
To call you tonight

F
The grass ain't always greener
G
And the linings never silver, oh I
 
[Refrão]
C Em
I'm terrified, that I'll look back in ten years time
F
And still be holding onto every single memory
Am G
While you're holding somebody who isn't me
C Em
I won't lie, I look for you in strangers eyes
F
It kills me you don't even care we had to say goodbye
Am G
When I know that it'll haunt me
 
'Til the day I die
 
[Verso 2]
C
Keeping your seat at the table
Em
It's got me feeling less than stable
F
And I swear to God it's almost fatal
Am G
This cut that you left in my heart

The grass ain't always greener
