C Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
verse 1
C
Stop the car, get me out
Fmaj7
I’m losing breath, I’m freaking out
Am7 Fmaj7
Can’t get you off of me even if I tried
C
Wasting days I sink alone
Fmaj7
I’m always checking on my phone
Am7 Fmaj7
To see where you are or if I can see you now
Chorus
C
So waste with me I’ll stay the night
Fmaj7
And we can get right back to fighting
Am7 Fmaj7
It will be the best night of our lives
C
No, I just don’t want us to crash
Fmaj7
Like we always do on your apartment bed
Am7 Fmaj7
I guess this is where our warranty ends
C Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7
verse 2
C
You dropped me off, walking down the road
Fmaj7
Don’t know where I am or where I’ll go
Am7 Fmaj7
But I can promise that it's better than your arms
C
Sing the lullaby stuck in my head
Fmaj7
That you would always sing to me before bed
Am7 Fmaj7
Looking for any other song to recite now
Chorus
C
So waste with me I’ll stay the night
Fmaj7
And we can get right back to fighting
Am7 Fmaj7
It will be the worst night of our lives
C
No, I just don’t want us to crash
Fmaj7
Like we always do inside my head
Am7 Fmaj7
Don’t want them to know what finally sent me out
Outro Chorus
C
No cause we crashed so long ago
Fmaj7
And I don’t know how I never said no
Am7
All the things I didn’t wanna do
Fmaj7
And all the things you did to me too
C
No I couldn’t stop you when it was too much
Fmaj7
Because like a drug you're just never enough
Am7
You could always make me feel so whole
Fmaj7
Then watch me dissipate in my soul
N.C.
And then make me feel like it was my fault
Outro
C
But it never was
Fmaj7
Never was
Am7
Mmmmm
Fmaj7
Mmmmm
C
I just cared too much
Fmaj7
You didn't care enough
Am7
Mmmmm
Fmaj7
Mmmmm
