This is one of my favorite Beach House songs. It took me quite a while to get
used to the album version because it sounds more optimistic than the single
version, and I like sad songs better. But both versions are awesome, and the
chords don't differ from each other that much. This is a very simple song,
but it wasn't easy figuring out those hidden chords in the third and fourth
verses. Enjoy some happy sadness...

USED TO BE (single version)
by Beach House
Intro D
AYou (x02220@1)are coming home
Are you still alone
G (320003@1) DAre (xx0232@1)you not the same as you used to be?
AAs (x02220@1)the sun grows high
And you served your time
G (320003@1) DDoes (xx0232@1)each day just feel like another lie?
EmNow (022000@1)you know
Is it just for show
Bm (x24432@1) F#mJust (244222@1)a foolish game that you hide behind
EmDon't (022000@1)forget the nights
GWhen (320003@1)it all felt right
Bm (x24432@1) EmAre (022000@1)you not the same as you used to be
DUsed (xx0232@1)to be?
AIn (x02220@1)a endless night
Did you feel the fright
G (320003@1) DOf (xx0232@1)an age that was and could never be
ASo (x02220@1)we hold it close
When we feel the most
G (320003@1) DLike (xx0232@1)a love that we could not leave behind
EmWe (022000@1)turn the wheel
To which way we feel
Bm (x24432@1) F#mTill (244222@1)I'm lost and I can not find you there
Em (022000@1)
Don't forget the nights
Gwhen (320003@1)it all felt right
Bm (x24432@1) EmAre (022000@1)you not the same as you used to be?
DUsed (xx0232@1)to be
GEven (320003@1)if I try so hard
DWould (xx0232@1)we still be coming to an end
AEven (x02220@1)if we spoke the same words
GWould (320003@1)we still be termed as friends?
GEven (320003@1)if its simple from the start
DWe (xx0232@1)will give the pieces of our hearts
AAnd (x02220@1)when there is nothing left to pretend
GWe (320003@1)will know its coming to an end
GWe (320003@1)could wait until the summer
DSee (xx0232@1)what happeneds to each other
AWe (x02220@1)could wait inside all summer
GSee (320003@1)what happeneds to each other
