All the ground that we covered
That I'm scared of walking over now
[Pre-Chorus]

The last time I saw you

Was the first time it hit

You said "don't be a stranger"
Gm
What's stranger than this?
[Chorus]
D
Can't sleep
Thinking about you now
F#m7
Can we pretend that I shut my mouth
Bm
I Know I promised you that nothing would change
G
But, whatever happened to always
D
Staying up
We'd talk til the trains run

How come it's so easy to go from

Friends to lovers but not lovers to friends
Em F#m G
And I know we can't have it both ways
F#m G A
But I miss the us from the old days
