Cadd9 G Em7
I'm pretty sure I wasn't your first choice

Cadd9 G
You've still got a little bit of clairvoyance

B D
I remember the metal bar
A G
I remember the reservoir
Em7 Cadd9 D
You could say our paths had crossed before
 
[Refrão] Em7 Cadd9
So if it has to be a secret, then I guess that I can deal with it

You and I both know it's a negative thing
Em7 Cadd9 G
In the end only the girls know the whole truth
