[Verse 1]
E G#m C#m
There was ice on the windshield, the chill was hard to bear
A B
But I made some small talk, with a short cough, cold breaths filled the air
E G#m C#m
This was winter, my hair was growing out
A B
Reminisce the dead ends, things that weren't said, I should've laughed about
E G#m C#m
So I tried to fill my time, empty spaces in my mind
A B
Hummed along to the white noise of Channel 9
E G#m C#m
I have a heavy heart but only after dark
A B
When the lights went out, your words began to start
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A E B C#m
You don't have to be so proud, when you walk you can look down
A E
There's nothing left to say, don't be ashamed
B
It's for the best
 
[Chorus]
A E B A E B
And we can be strangers again, sleeping on two separate beds
A E B C#m
And we don't have to try and pretend, there's no waiting on the line
C B A# A
To imagine what could have happened, now that we're strangers again

[Verse 2]
E G#m C#m
It's a smell I remember, the charm of a summer night
A B E
When we lied around and outside your house then let those bloodbugs bite
G#m C#m
And when it comes to October, I miss the way it could've been
A B E
We don't talk anymore, I wonder what for, why I fucked it up back then
G#m C#m
You just kissed me for the thrill, cause your heart was standing still
A B E
When it was enough you said, "Don't care too much"
G#m C#m
There'll be no second looks, another page in your book
A B
When I reach the end the only words were left
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A E B C#m
You don't gotta be so sad, when you look don't look back
A E
There's nothing left to say, no one's left to blame
B
It's for the best
 
[Chorus]
A E B A E B
And we can be strangers again, sleeping on two separate beds
A E B C#m
And we don't have to try and pretend, there's no waiting on the line
C B A# A F#m B
To imagine what could have happened, now that we're strangers again
 
[Bridge]
C#m A E B
Oh-oh, maybe we can catch up in a lunch rush or under a red light
C#m A E
Oh-oh, what a shame we can't remember November
B C
But when it starts I can't stop but think
