D
We were strangers at the bar
A
They were playing "Wonderwall"
Bm G
I overheard you say you hate this song
D
Next thing I knew, I'm walkin' over
A
Came and tapped you on your shoulder
Bm G
Said, "My dear, you're not the only one"
D
Spent the night there at my place
A
That night became a hundred days
Bm G
And I shared all my deepest secrets with you
D
Soon enough, well, I found out
A
You're something I can't live without
Bm G
And every time I close my eyes I miss you

And I know, I waited all my life just to
Bm G D
Fall for someone like you

It all fell through

I can't even lie, I'm not doing well
Bm G
Waking up without you, sleeping by myself
D A
Alone in our room, all your stuff is gone
Bm
Yeah, I'm standing still here
G
While you're moving on

When my world would tear in two
A Bm G
You were who I ran to
D
Now I can't even call
A
Or call you my friend
Bm
Oh darling, it's strange
G
'Cause you and I are strangers
D A Bm G
All over again
D
Heart's amiss and head's a blaze
A
The nights become the start of days
Bm
And I've been drinking just
G
To get me through
D
It's funny how you love someone
A
And when it's over, said and done
Bm G
It's almost like you never even knew 'em

And I know, I waited all my life
