Standard Tuning


Verse 1
E

E                    B9                A9            
Used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
A9
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
E                   B9          A9
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
E            B9                   A9
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
A9
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
E                        B9             A9
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Pre-chorus
E            B9      
Oh, a simple complication
A9             B9
Miscommunications lead to fall out
A9
So many things that I wish you knew
B9
So many walls up I can't break through

Chorus
E            B9
Now I'm standing alone
            A9
In a crowded room
              B9
And we're not speaking
E            B9
And I'm dying to know
          A9
Is it killing you
              B9
Like it's killing me?
E            B9
I don't know what to say
            A9
Since a twist of fate
A9
When it all broke down
E
And the story of us
B9                      A9
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Verse 2
E            B9
How'd we end up this way?
                      A9
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
A9
And trying to look busy
E            B9            A9
And you're doing your best to avoid me
E                      B9                A9
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
A9
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
E               B9                             A9
But you held your pride like you should have held me
E                        B9
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
                        A9                    B9
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
A9
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
B9
I've never heard silence quite this loud

Chorus
E                  B9
Now I'm standing alone
               A9
In a crowded room
               B9
And we're not speaking
E                  B9
And I'm dying to know
          A9
Is it killing you
              B9
Like it's killing me?
E             B9
I don't know what to say
            A9
Since a twist of fate
A9            
When it all broke down
E
And the story of us
B9                       A9
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Verse 3
E                          
This is looking like a contest
A9
Of who can act like they care less
E                   B9            A9
But I liked it better when you were on my side
E
The battle's in your hands now
A9
But I would lay my armor down 
E            B9             A9            
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
A9
So many things that you wish I knew
B9
But the story of us might be ending soon

Chorus/Outro
E             B9
Now I'm standing alone
         A9
In a crowded room
              B9
And we're not speaking
E            B9
And I'm dying to know
         A9
Is it killing you
  B9
Like it's killing me?
E
I don't know what to say
       A9
Since a twist of fate

When it all broke down
E
And the story of us
 B9             A9
Looks a lot like a tragedy now 
E
And the story of us
        B9                A9
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

E
