You and I would go and hide
F#m7 G6
Until it came time to eat

Came upon some skeletons

Without sayin' goodbye

A couple some odd years ago
D G6
You said, "Sweetie take your time"
D G6
So now I'm singin' to an empty chair
F#m7 G6
Bleedin' out every line

It's not that I don't miss you

Or the way it used to be

It's that I can't live my life

Without sayin' anything
