[Verse 1 -- 1:12]
A F#m C#7
It was a break in communication
G Dm / Dm6
Well that’s what I’ve been told
A F#m C#7
For lack of evaluation
G Dm / Dm6
Feelings unchecked and uncontrolled
[Prechorus 1 -- 1:30]
F C D

F C D B7 -->
Isn’t that what you really said, your mind ripped us apart
[Chorus 1 -- 1:39]
B7 Dm D A
But I was happy with you, however I looked, whatever I did, whatever it was
B7 Dm D A
I was happy about, the ins and the outs, the ups and the downs, the pros and
the cons
B7 Dm D A
I was happy with you, if it makes me a fool, maybe I am, maybe I was

[Verse 2 -- 2:04]
A F#m C#7
I always counted us as lucky
G Dm / Dm6

the cons

I was happy with you, if it makes me a fool, maybe I am, maybe I was

[Verse 3 -- 3:50]
A F#m C#7
Stop sending me the message
G Dm / Dm6
That we were nearly done
A F#m C#7
It’s part of everyone’s rite of passage
G Dm / Dm6
To fucking leave someone
[Prechorus 3 -- 4:08]
F C D
I can’t tell you what you’ve got in store, or what you miss of us
F C D B7 -->
Not my business anymore, and it probably never was
