[Verso 1]
G D
You asked me why I disappeared
Em C
Like it happened overnight
G D
But I got tired of counting every
Em C
Time I had to read your mind
G D
I know you probably didn't mean
Em C
To make me question everything
G D
But loving you started feeling
Em C
Like a one-person balancing act
[Pré-Refrão]
Am Em
You said, "But I do..."
C D
Like two words could fix it all
Am Em
Maybe they were honest
C D
But they didn't catch my fall
[Refrão]
G
I keep loving you
D
Like you're already mine
Em
And you're loving me
C
Like you've only got time
G
Maybe it's enough for you
D
Maybe I'm asking too much
Em
But if I have to wonder every day
C
Does it really count as love?
Am
You tell me,
Em
"If you love something,
C
You should let it go."
D
But I already did...
Am
And you came back
Em
Just close enough
C D
To make it hard to know
[Verso 2]
G D
I hate that I still smile
Em C
When your name lights up my phone
G D
After telling everyone
Em C
I'd be better on my own
G D
You don't hear the conversations
Em C
I have with myself at night
G D
Trying to figure out
Em C
If I'm asking wrong or loving right
[Ponte]
Em D
Maybe your heart whispers
C G
Maybe mine just screams
Em D
Maybe we're the same story
C D
Reading different dreams
Em D
I don't need forever
C G
I just need something true
Em D
Something that feels
C D
As obvious to you
[Refrão]
G
So if love means letting go
D
Why'd you come back around?
Em
Why'd you tell me you care
C
When I was putting you down?
G
Maybe someday we'll laugh
D
About the almost that we were
Em
But tonight I'm still the girl
C
Who memorized every word
Am
And you...
Em
You were the boy
C
Who loved me
D
Just a little quieter
G
Than I needed.
