verse 1
D
The feeling starts to sink in,
D5 E5 D5 C#5 D5
But it's beginning to rust,
G Bm
Still hanging onto the things that we discussed,
A G
But the point that was made isn't said and done...
D
Now the sun shines so bright, but it won't shine for you,
G
You remind me of rain in July
Bm
And the gloom that I felt for a year,
A G
And the clouds are always shaped just like you
Em Fm G
But there's a parting light...
D
I always told you that someday
G
I would be packing my bags and I would be on my way,
D
You always laughed in my face,
And made the world seem so grey,
G
Lay in the bed that you made
D
So I can finally say that I'm fine,
You can just say "whatever,"
G
I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off,
D
But I am cursed with a staircase wit,
G Bm
Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip
Bridge 1
Bm D
Don't judge me on my bad habits,
Bm G D
I could pick out every flaw of yours,
G
And unearth all your imperfections.
Bm G Bm
Beneath the surface I have seen,
Bm G D
The ugly truth behind the beauty queen...
D
I always told you that someday
G
I would be packing my bags and I would be on my way,
D
You always laughed in my face,
And made the world seem so grey,
G
Lay in the bed that you made
D
So I can finally say that I'm fine,
You can just say "whatever,"
G
I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off,
D
But I am cursed with a staircase wit,
G Bm
Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip
Bridge 2
D A D
D
Held it back,
Lost the nerve,
G D
Was too scared to talk when you gave me your hand
G
And you gave me your heart,
D A G
When you should have kept it to yourself
D A G
You should have kept it to yourself,
D G A G
I wish you'd kept it to yourself
