D                   A                          G
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
                                        D
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
             A                           G        
People would say, "They're the lucky ones"
D                 A                        G
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
                                            D
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
                           A                       G
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on


A                  Bm
Oh, a simple complication
          D               Asus4
Miscommunications lead to fall out
G
So many things that I wish you knew
A
So many walls up I can't break through


D                Asus4              G
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
                      D
And we're not speaking
                 Asus4             G                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
(G)                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                  G                                       
When it all broke down
        Bm                  A                  G                                                 
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now-  Next chapter

                           
A  Bm  Dsus2  G


D                    A                       
How'd we end up this way?
                 G              
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
                       D
And trying to look busy
                      A               G
And you're doing your best to avoid me

D                         A                          G
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
                                            D
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
                  A                               G
But you held your pride like you should have held me


A                           Bm
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
           D                  Asus4
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
G
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
A                     -stop
I've never heard silence quite this loud


D                Asus4              G
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
                      D
And we're not speaking
                 Asus4              G                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
(G)                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                  G                                       
When it all broke down
        Bm                  A                  G                                                 
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

D -once                           G 
    This is looking like a contest
(G)                              
Of who can act like they care less
D                          A              G
But I liked it better when you were on my side
D                             G
The battle's in your hands now
(G)
But I would lay my armor down
   Bm              A                G
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight


G
So many things that you wish I knew
        A                   -stop     
But the story of us might be ending soon


D (2x *fast/stop)                                         
  Now I'm standing alone 
 Asus4 (2x*)       G -once             G
      In a crowded room  and we're not speaking                    
        D        Asus4              G                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                  G                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                  G                                       
When it all broke down
        Bm                                                       
And the story of us 
        A                  G                D  Asus4
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, no-----ow
G                        D
   And we're not speaking
                 Asus4              G                              
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
(G)                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                    G                                       
'Cause we're go-ing down
        Bm                  A                  G ...stop
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
