Em7 Cadd9
Lets to try to remember these days back in December
Gm
Our lives were very different
D/F#
I was lonely when we first met
Em7
A small upstairs apartment
Cadd9 Gm D/F#
Driving through the darkness before they even knew you were gone
C Gm
You don't even have to speak because I can hear your heartbeat
D Em
Fluttering like butterflies searching for a drink
C Gm
You don't have to cover up how you feel when your in love
D Em
I'll always know im not enough to even make you think
Am C Gm
Please, slow down girl
Am C Gm
We're moving way to fast for their world
Gm
We gotta make this last
Em7 Cadd9
I miss you so much, a self inflicted coma
Gm D/F#
The days drag on I never thought of running with their feet
Em7 Cadd9
And when i feel the stress, I'm lonely and depressed
Gm D/F#
I picture you in the dress you wore four weeks ago
C Gm
You don't even have to speak because I can hear your heartbeat
D Em
Fluttering like butterflies searching for a drink
C Gm
You don't have to cover up how you feel when your in love
D Em
I'll always know im not enough to even make you think
Am C Gm
Please, slow down girl
Am C Gm
We're moving way to fast for their world
Gm Am
We gotta make this last
C Gm Am
I know it hurts to feel so alone
C Gm
I'm by myself,
