***Verse1***
F#m Asus2        Dsus2  D(strum)
The walls between
 
You and I 
F#m    Asus2                    Dsus2          D
Always pushing us apart nothing left but scars fight after fight 

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

***Pre-Chorus***
Bm    Asus2         Dsus2         D
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you 
Bm  Asus2               Dsus2
You were waiting for me too 
D(strum)
And it makes me wonder 

***Chorus***
Asus2
The older I get
E
Will I get over it 
F#m                        Asus2
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
Dsus2                       D
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think 

The older I get 
Maybe I'll get over it 
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
I can't believe it still hurts like this 

***Verse2***(same chord as Verse1)
The time between 
Those cutting words 
Built up our defenses never made no sense it just made me hurt 
Do you believe 
That time heals all wounds 
It started getting better but it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you 

Pre-Chorus+Chorus(1x)

***Bridge***
Bm                   A?(557755)
What was I waiting for
                           Asus2       
I should've taken less and given you more
            E
I should've weathered the storm 

I need to say so bad 
Bm                       A?(557755)
What were you waiting for 
Bm         Asus2         Dsus2(strum)           D
This could have been the best we ever had 

Chorus(1x)

***Outro***
Asus2          E
Hurts like this
         F#m
I'm just getting older 
                     Dsus2   D
I'm not getting over you I'm trying to 
Asus2                      E
I wish it didn't hurt like this 
F#m                            Asus2
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
Dsus2                                   D(strum)
I can't believe it still hurts like this
