[Intro]
G Am Em
G Am Em
[Verse 1]
G Am Em
Your flight was laid over in Boston
G Am Em D C
But you only had two hours and I was still in class
G Am Em G
But I zoned out of the lecture, getting lost in a picture that you left
Am Em D C
On my phone when I saw you last
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D Em C
And I still call you and talk to you till dawn
D Em C
And you say that you still miss me too
D Em C
And I told you I'm trying to move on
D Em C
But I keep telling my friends about you
[Chorus 1]
G D C
And they all say, oh, I did the college breakup too
G D C
And it's hard, but we're too young to care
G D C
But oh, they never loved like me and you
G D C
And it's true, if we do, if we dare
[Verse 2]
G Am Em
I talked to some girls at a party
(Do you even go here?)
G Am Em D C
I didn't do anything but it's good to know I can
G Am Em
But when I'm drunk I just ask you, what are we?
G Am Em D C
And you shrug, you tell me you miss me, you tell me there's still a plan
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D Em C
And I know that we have an eight-month curfew
D Em C
And that's fine, we'll survive through that
D Em C
But I'm just starting to feel I deserve you
D Em C
And starting to think, to know you love me back
[Chorus 2]
G D C
But oh, this is the college breakup now
G D C
This was the part we said that we'd have to be strong
G D C
And oh, I'm doing my best but I don't know how
G D C
How to sit on a twin XL and write a song
[Bridge]
G D
Tell me you remember the months before September
C G
Oh, we'll get together in due time when we know that we could never
D C
Let go of forever, call me up whenever, it's true, I'm begging
G D
Tell me you remember the months before September
C G
Oh, we'll get together in due time when we know that we could never
D C
Let go of forever
[Verse 3]
G Am Em
Your flight is delayed here in Boston
G Am Em D C
Just twenty minutes and I'd be pulling up to Terminal C
G Am
But fuck, I can't get past security
Em
And besides, what if I just waltzed in?
G Am Em D C
Would you cry? Would you laugh? Or would you hate me?
[Chorus 3]
G D C
'Cause oh, this is the college breakup now
G D C
This was the part we said that we'd have to be strong
G D C
And oh, I'm doing my best but I don't know how
G D C
How to sit on a twin XL and write a song
G D C
Yeah, oh, this is the college breakup now
G D C
This was the part we said that we'd have to be strong
G D C
Oh, this is the college breakup now
G D C
Whoa
