[Intro]
G Am F C
[Verse 1]
G Am
Three years this August
F C
Since the day our love was discarded
G Am
Picture me stick-thin, sitting in a restaurant
Dm C
With a coward who couldn't call it
C G Am
Sushi on Smith Street
F C
Was debuting a new pair of flare jeans
G Am
When I spoke the words that you wouldn't say aloud
Dm C
But you were clearly thinking in each given moment
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
There's no way to know if I need to let you go
F C
'Til we try being alone and embrace it
G
So we shared a bottle of red
Am
Book-ended us in your bed
Dm7 F G
I didn't know it then, but let's face it
[Chorus]
G Am
Now I'm the name you're never escaping
F C G
Turn up your go-to radio station
G Am Dm7
Your ex-lover's indie pop song's playing
Dm7 C
She's upgrading, she's upgrading
G Am
You're taking off? I'm taking a plane then
F C
Turn up your go-to radio station
G Am
Your ex-lover, honey-blonde Australian
Dm7
Is upgrading
[Verse 2]
G Am
I was in Paris
Am F C
Solo and no longer in hysterics
G Am
Picture me at peace, colour back in my cheeks
Dm C
I was processing all of the trauma
G Am
Traveled into Spain and then
F C
When at a bar with old and new friends
G Am
I sought out a man that would later on take me home
Dm7 C
It's too bad he practically was your clone
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
There's no way to know if I need to let you go
F C
'Til we try out moving on like we mean it
G
So he kissed me on his couch
Am
Reminded me there are other mouths
Dm F G
Didn't know it then 'til I leaned in
[Chorus]
G Am
Now I'm the name you're never escaping
F C G
Turn up your go-to radio station
Am Dm7
Your ex-lover's indie pop song's playing
C
She's upgrading, she's upgrading

You're taking off? I'm taking a plane then

Is upgrading

[Bridge]
G Am
There's no way to know if I need to let you go
F C
'Til we try being alone and embrace it
G
Though I hated it when it was said
Am7
I'm forever in your debt
Dm7 F G
'Cause I didn't know it then, but let's face it
[Chorus]

Now I'm the name you're never escaping
