The G chord Nick plays in this song is a little weird, but this is how it is played.

G - [32x010]


Intro: C - G - F - F (x2)


C                G          F           F
Be kind when you rewind the story of the two of us
C                G          F           F
Sometimes you wish it was a little more mysterious
C                G          F           F
When you look at me with your cinematic eyes
C                G          F           F
I wanna play the part but I forget the lines

C    G      F       F
            I do it all the time
C    G      F       F
            I never get it right

C                G           F            F
One day when you replay the slide-show we know
C                G           F            F
Pictures won't show villains and heroes
C                G           F        
It's just me keeping time with you
C                G           F          F
Butter knife's dull but it still cuts through

Am
We never were
F
We'll never be

C
Strangers kissing in the pouring rain
G
Chasing after your leaving train
Am          F
But we know that's not how our song goes
Ohh
C
You're a waitress in a cocktail bar
G
And I'll save you cause I'm a big rock star
Am          F
But we know that's not how our song goes
C   G    F    F
It goes like this

C                G           F          F
You didn't like my friends and your mom didn't trust me
C                G           F          F
I thought I was slick but my moves were rusty
C                G           F        F
Bought you a 12-pack promised you sushi
C                G           F        F
Sorry if I wasn't straight out of a movie

Am
We never were
F
We'll never be

C
Strangers kissing in the pouring rain
G
Chasing after your leaving train
Am          F
But we know that's not how our song goes
Ohh
C
You're a waitress in a cocktail bar
G
And I'll save you cause I'm a big rock star
Am          F
But we know that's not how our song goes

C                G           F           F
Be kind when you rewind the story of the two of us
C                G           F           F
Sometimes you wish it was a little more mysterious
C                G           F           F
When you look at me with your cinematic eyes
C                G           F           C
I wanna play the part but I'm messing up the lines

Am
We never were
F
We'll never be

C
Strangers kissing in the pouring rain
G
Chasing after your leaving train
Am          F
But we know that's not how our song goes
Ohh
C
You're a waitress in a cocktail bar
G
And I'll save you cause I'm a big rock star
Am          F
But we know that's not how our song goes
C  G     F   F
It goes like this
C  G     F   F
It goes like this
