F C
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
Am G
All of my change I spent on you
F C
Where have the times gone
Am G
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two'
F C
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
Am G
The people we used to be
F C
It's even harder to picture
Am G
That you're not here next to me
F C
You say it's too late to make it
Am G
But is it too late to try'
F C
And in our time that you wasted
Am G
All of our bridges burned down
F
I've wasted my nights
C
You turned out the lights
Am G
Now I'm paralyzed
F C
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
Am G
But even the sun sets in paradise
*repeat with the same chord*
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two'
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before
But all of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two'
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of sh*t
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
