[Verse]
G#m
Pull the shade and trap the light in
E
Illuminate the room so I can see your face
G#m
I need to hear it in person
E
I need to know it was worth it
G#m
Took the risk and came on over
E F# G#m
Keeping count of everything I didn't say
G#m
Heard your breathing get lower
E
The room was getting smaller as you
 
[Chorus]
C#m E G#m
Threw your arms around me way too fast
F#
(What did it really mean?)
C# E G#m
And questioned if I thought it all would last
F#
(Will it all last?)
C#m E G#m
Blocking out our future with my past
F#m
(What does it really mean?)
C#m E G#m
If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask
F#
(Why'd you ask?)
E
If it still haunts me?
E
It still haunts me
 
[Verse]
G#m
Hung the pictures that you painted
E
Hallucinations of a love that was never there
G#m
I felt you start getting nervous
E
You put a gloss on the surface of my
G#m
Favorite thing you ever drew you said it needed more
E
Shaded in the grays and then you hung it on your door
G#m
If nothing's ever finished it ends up on the floor
E
Just like we did
 
Just like we did
 
[Chorus]
C#m E G#m
Threw your arms around me way too fast
F#
(What did it really mean?)
C# E G#m
And questioned if I thought it all would last
F#
(Will it all last?)
C#m E G#m
Blocking out our future with my past
F#m
(What does it really mean?)
C#m E G#m
F#
(Why'd you ask?)
E
If it still haunts me?
E
It still haunts me
 
[Chorus]
C#m E G#m
Threw your arms around me way too fast
F#
(What did it really mean?)
C# E G#m
And questioned if I thought it all would last
F#
(Will it all last?)
C#m E G#m
Blocking out our future with my past
F#m
(What does it really mean?)
C#m E G#m
If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask
F#
(Why'd you ask?)
E
If it still haunts me?
E
It still haunts me
 
(1, 2, 3, 4)
 
[Bridge]
G#m
I think about it when I'm falling asleep
G#m
All the parts of you that I couldn't keep
E
My nightmares torment me much worse
E
The longer you're not here
G#m
I keep my energy the lowest I can
G#m
And try and think about where all this began
E
For heaven's sake could I forget
That you found someone new
F# E
I hope to god you're haunted by this, too
 
[Chorus]
C#m E G#m
Threw your arms around me way too fast
F#
(What did it really mean?)
C# E G#m
And questioned if I thought it all would last
F#
(Will it all last?)
C#m E G#m
Blocking out our future with my past
F#m
(What does it really mean?)
C#m E G#m
If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask
F#
(Why'd you ask?)
E
If it still haunts me?
E
It still haunts me
 
[Outro]
E
You haunt me
You haunt me
