Intro: Em C G D (x2)
verse 1
Em C G D
I'm not supposed to be thinking 'bout you, lying here in this bed
Em C
Too much has gone wrong and we should move on
G D
That's what we both said
Em C
There's a million reasons why we said goodbye
G D
Why we couldn't try, couldn't fight for it anymore
Em C
Put your ring in the back of the dresser drawer
G D
And we closed that door
Em C G
So why am I at 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light
D
Backsliding
Em C G D
Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right

We say we won't, but then we do the same old thing fallin' right back in
G D
Say it's gonna be the last time

Backsliding, I'm backsliding
verse 2
Em C G D
Well, I heard that you've been hangin' around with someone new
Em C
Yeah, word gets around in such a small town
G D
Bet you heard I'm seein' someone too
Em C
There's a million reasons why we should be happy
G D
Not lookin' back, livin' in the past anymore
Em C
But they ain't addin' up, I guess they ain't enough
G D
'Cause here I am

At 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light
