G D
We used to sing "We Had It All"
Em D
And record it on our phones
G D
But when I listen back now

Because we hardly touch our skin

How did we end up here?
Em D
So out of sync
Chorus 1:
G D
And Maybe all the lies
Em D
Were truer than we know

And maybe anticlockwise

Is the only antidote

I can't stop dreaming of
F#m D
The night when we begun
G D Em D
And the songs that we wrote when we were drunk
verse 2:
G D Em D
All of the letters that you sent to me
G D
Said that we'd stay the same
Em D
For as long as we breathe
G D
And we'd shrug off two weeks of rain
Em D
on our honeymoon
G D
But now you fall asleep
Em D
In the other room

And Maybe all the lies

Were truer than we know

And maybe anticlockwise
Em D
Is the only antidote

I can't stop dreaming of

The night when we begun

And the songs that we wrote when we were drunk

And the songs that we wrote when we were drunk
