{Intro}
Bb F Dm7 C
[Verso 1]
Bb
I know it's hard to remember
F Dm7
The people we used to be It's even harder to picture
C Bb
That you're not here next to me You say it's too late to make it
F Dm7
But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted
C Bb
All of our bridges burned down
[Pré-Refrão]
F Dm7
I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights
C Bb F
Now I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time when we called it love
Dm7 C
But even the sun sets in paradise
[Refrão]
Bb F
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
Dm7 C
All of my change I spent on you
Bb
Where have the times gone baby
F Dm7 C
It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two
Bb F
If happy ever after did exist
Dm7 C
I would still be holding you like this
Bb F
And all those fairytales are full of it
Dm7 C
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
[Verso 2]
Bb F
You turned your back on tomorrow Cause you forgot yesterday
Dm7 C
I gave you my love to borrow But you just gave it away
Bb F
You can't expect me to be fine I don't expect you to care
Dm7 C Bb
I know I've said it before But all of our bridges burned down
[Pré-Refrão]
F Dm7
I've wasted my nights You turned out the lights
C Bb F
Now I'm paralyzed Still stuck in that time when we called it love
Dm7 C
But even the sun sets in paradise
[Refrão]
Bb F
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
Dm7 C
All of my change I spent on you
Bb
Where have the times gone baby
F Dm7 C
It's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two
Bb F
If happy ever after did exist
Dm7 C
I would still be holding you like this
Bb F
And all those fairytales are full of it
Dm7 C
One more stupid love song I'll be sick

Bb F
And all those fairytales are full of it
Dm7 C
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
Bb
Now I'm at a payphone
