[Verse 1]
F Am Bb
I promise I won’t tell her bout the text you sent last February
F Am Bb
Promise I won’t share with her your deepest secrets I still carry
F Am Bb
I won’t tell her how you tend to leave whenever things get scary
F Am Bb
Cuz you never know this girl might be the one you choose to marry
F Am Bb
But I can’t help but dream about the times when I was something to you
F Am Bb
Held onto forever when I was too scared that I would lose you
F Am Bb
Boxes filled with memories of all the times I knew I loved you
F Am Bb
Be the one I look for in a crowded hall but now...
[Pre-chorus]
F Am
You walk into the room and you look right through me
Bb
Playing it cool like you never even knew me
F Am
Straight into her gaze you know just what your doing
Bb
Don’t you?
F Am
She runs into your arms and you hold her close
Bb
While I take a step back and watch the whole show
F
But the curtain never falls
Am
And the film still rolls
Bb
And I hold back the things I’ll never
F Am Bb
say because she’s great like you handmade her
F Am Bb
And I simply blend in with the wallpaper
[Verse 2]
F Am Bb
I’m getting close to 21, but I still can’t get over 18
F Am Bb
How can you expect me to forget the single thing that saved me
F
Yeah it’s done
Am
We had our fun
Bb
But that can’t pull me from the daydream
F Am Bb
Kinda wish that it was me your smiling at right now
[Pre-chorus]
F Am
But you breeze on past like she’s all you know
Bb
I’m dead to you and it clearly shows
F Am Bb
I could disappear and you wouldn’t notice anyways
F Am
'Cause you grab her hand and you pull her close
Bb
While I take a step back and watch the whole show
F
But the curtain never falls
Am
And the film still rolls
Bb
And I hold back the things I’ll never
F Am Bb
say because she’s great like you handmade her
F Am Bb
And I simply blend in with the wallpaper
[Bridge]
F Am
Maybe I’m just too outdated
Bb
Peeling corners colors faded
F Am Bb
Obviously she looks fresh and new
F Am
But tell me would it even matter to
Bb
strip the color change the pattern
F Am Bb
Would I then be good enough for you?
F Am Bb
Could I ever be enough for you?
[Outro]
F Am
You walk into the room and my hands go numb
Bb
I feel the air slip from my lungs
F Am
You look the same as when we were young
Bb
But we’re not young anymore
F Am
You scan the room while I stare at the floor
Bb
'Cause it’s not me that you’re looking for
F Am Bb
It’s clear she offers so much more than all I have to give
F Am Bb
She’s perfect like you practically handmade her
F Am Bb
'Cause what we had was great but that seems greater
F Am Bb
I’ll simply stay a piece of your wallpaper
