CAPO 2
C G
Whatever happened to the old me
C G
Whatever happened to us
C G
Whatever it was it doesn?t matter now
Em7
Those days went speeding by
Dsus4/F# G
And left us in the dust
Em7
The car's on empty
Dsus4/F# G
It rattles and rusts
C G
Whatever misses is permanent
C G
A red wine stain or a scar
C G
Like one of those if you flip the negative
Em7
Knew who I was,
Dsus4/F# G
And even before
Em7
I even knew
Dsus4/F# G
Now just look who we are
C Dsus4/F# G
And these wheels turn fast
C Dsus4/F# G
These wheels turn bright
C Dsus4/F# G
Reflecting every blurry moon that long goes shining
Em7 Dsus4/F# G
Shining through the dark of the night
Em7 Dsus4/F# G
Shining through the dark of the night
C G
You know that house I don't want to buy
C G
I want to buy it for you
C G
The walls are made out of the wishes I make
Em7
When I close my eyes
Dsus4/F# G
And I?m lying here with you
C G
Whatever misses is everything
C G
My feet are sore and blue
C G
Everything I ever said I did before
Em7
Was just to get me here
Dsus4/F# G
Get me here next to you
C Dsus4/F# G
And these wheels turn fast
C Dsus4/F# G
These wheels turn bright
C Dsus4/F# G
Reflecting every moon that long goes shining

Shining through the dark of the night
