Verse 1

E (022100@1)                 B (x2444x@1)                        AI (x02220@1)used to think one day we'd tell the story of us

How we met and the sparks flew instantly
E (022100@1)           B (x2444x@1)                      APeople (x02220@1)would say, "they're the lucky ones"
E (022100@1)                 B (x2444x@1)                     AI (x02220@1)used to know my place was a spot next to you
                                         ENow (022100@1)I'm searching the room for an empty seat
                            B (x2444x@1)                  A'Cause (x02220@1)lately I don't even know what page you're on
B (x2444x@1)                C#Oh, (x43121@1)a simple complication
 E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)            EMiscommunications (022100@1)lead to fall out
ASo (x02220@1)many things that I wish you knew
BSo (x2444x@1)many walls up I can't break through

Chorus

E (022100@1)                 B (x2444x@1)              ANow (x02220@1)I'm standing alone In a crowded room And we're not speaking
E (022100@1)               B (x2444x@1)                AAnd (x02220@1)I'm dying to know Is it killing you Like it's killing me?
C# (x43121@1)                  B (x2444x@1)                   E (022100@1)               
     AI (x02220@1)don't know what to say Since a twist of fate When it all broke down
         C# (x43121@1)               B (x2444x@1)                AAnd (x02220@1)the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Verse 2

E (022100@1)                   BHow'd (x2444x@1)we end up this way?
                  ASee (x02220@1)me nervously pulling at my clothes And trying to look busy
E (022100@1)                     B (x2444x@1)           AAnd (x02220@1)you're doing your best to avoid me
E (022100@1)                        B (x2444x@1)                        AI'm (x02220@1)starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
E (022100@1)                B (x2444x@1)                            ABut (x02220@1)you held your pride like you should have held me
B (x2444x@1)                           C#Oh, (x43121@1)we're scared to see the ending
E (022100@1)            A (x02220@1)              EWhy (022100@1)are we pretending this is nothing?
   AI'd (x02220@1)tell you I miss you but I don't know how
 BI've (x2444x@1)never heard silence quite this loud

Chorus

E (022100@1)                 B (x2444x@1)              ANow (x02220@1)I'm standing alone In a crowded room And we're not speaking
E (022100@1)               B (x2444x@1)                AAnd (x02220@1)I'm dying to know Is it killing you Like it's killing me?
C# (x43121@1)                  B (x2444x@1)                   E (022100@1)               
     AI (x02220@1)don't know what to say Since a twist of fate When it all broke down
         C# (x43121@1)               B (x2444x@1)                AAnd (x02220@1)the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now
