Verse 1
E5

E5                    B5                A5            
Used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
A5
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
E5                   B5          A5
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
E5            B5                   A5
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
A5
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
E5                        B5             A5
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Pre-chorus
E5            B5      
Oh, a simple complication
A5             B5
Miscommunications lead to fall out
A5
So many things that I wish you knew
B5
So many walls up I can't break through

Chorus
E5            B5
Now I'm standing alone
            A5
In a crowded room
              B5
And we're not speaking
E5            B5
And I'm dying to know
          A5
Is it killing you
              B5
Like it's killing me?
E5            B5
I don't know what to say
            A5
Since a twist of fate
A5
When it all broke down
E5
And the story of us
B5                      A5
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Verse 2
E5            B5
How'd we end up this way?
                      A5
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
A5
And trying to look busy
E5            B5            A5
And you're doing your best to avoid me
E5                      B5                A5
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
A5
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
E5               B5                             A5
But you held your pride like you should have held me
E5                        B5
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
                        A5                    B5
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
A5
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
B5
I've never heard silence quite this loud

Chorus
E5                  B5
Now I'm standing alone
               A5
In a crowded room
               B5
And we're not speaking
E5                  B5
And I'm dying to know
          A5
Is it killing you
              B5
Like it's killing me?
E5             B5
I don't know what to say
            A5
Since a twist of fate
A5            
When it all broke down
E5
And the story of us
B5                       A5
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Verse 3
E5                          
This is looking like a contest
A5
Of who can act like they care less
E5                   B5            A5
But I liked it better when you were on my side
E5
The battle's in your hands now
A5
But I would lay my armor down 
E5            B5             A5            
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
A5
So many things that you wish I knew
B5
But the story of us might be ending soon

Chorus/Outro
E5             B5
Now I'm standing alone
         A5
In a crowded room
              B5
And we're not speaking
E5            B5
And I'm dying to know
         A5
Is it killing you
  B5
Like it's killing me?
E5
I don't know what to say
       A5
Since a twist of fate

When it all broke down
E5
And the story of us
 B5             A5
Looks a lot like a tragedy now 
E5
And the story of us
        B5                A5
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

E5
