Intro 
Am - C - F


Am   C        
The walls between
F
You and I 
Am       C                 F          
Always pushing us apart nothing left but scars fight after fight 


Am   C
The space between 
F
Our calm and rage 
Am       C                 F          
started growing shorter , disappearing slowly day after day 


Dm    Em                    F              Dm
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you 
Dm        Em            F
You were waiting for me too 
F(strum)
And it makes me wonder 


Chorus
C
The older I get
G
Will I get over it 
           Dm                  Em                    
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
F                                           C 
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think 
C 
The older I get 
G 
Maybe I'll get over it 
           Dm                  Em                    
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
F 
I can't believe it still hurts like this 

Verse 2
Am - C - F 1x

Am   C        
The time between 
F
Those cutting words 
Am               C            F          
Built up our defenses never made no sense it just made me hurt 
Am   C
Do you believe 
F
That time heals all wounds 
Am              C                    F                 
It started getting better but it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you 


Pre-Chorus


Chorus


Bridge
Am                  F
What was I waiting for
                            C        
I should've taken less and given you more
            G
I should've weathered the storm 
                 Am
I need to say so bad 
Am                     F
What were you waiting for 
                          Dm      Em   F 
This could have been the best we ever had 


Chorus


Outro
C         G
Hurts like this
                  dm
I'm just getting older 
     Em          F                       
I'm not getting over you I'm trying to 
   C                     G
I wish it didn't hurt like this 
           Dm                  Em                    
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
F                                   
I can't believe it still hurts like this
