Em7add11*
How could a good boy have gone so wrong?
Em7add11* Em7add11* Em7add9*
She said, and then the words just slipped
*
From my mouth
* *
You re a liar, a thief
C (strum once, then silence)
Her hands were never beside her
Em7add11*
She was always taking from me
Em7add11*
What wasn t hers
Em7add11*
What she could hide
Em7add11*
But I want those years of my life
The feeling of first love again
The feeling you only get once
The ones I waited on
*
Before I let you live

( ^ 2nd time play
these as G chords)
So talk to me
About what, about you
What s there to talk about?
I wanna hear you say that you never knew me at all
But that s not true
I wanted this so badly
See things change
No you just moved away
And the further you went, the less you wanted to stay
I wish I could ve said something cool to make you listen
But the only thing that came to mind
Was how much I d be missing you
And missing this
Em7add11* Em7add11*
When everything is brought to light
Em7add11* Em7add11* Cmaj7*
Then we see that everything s just not alright
*
So let s be honest
*
Is that a stretch?
*
I m what s coming and you are the blessed
But I m not the saint as before I let you in

So talk to me
About what, about you
What s there to talk about?
I wanna hear you say that you never knew me at all
But that s not true
I wanted this so badly
See things change
No you just moved away
And the further you went, the less you wanted to stay
I wish I could ve said something cool to make you listen
But the only thing that came to mind
Was how much I d be missing you
And missing this
You made me swear
I d always forgive you
D#b5 D#b5
But the simplest promises are ones that we cling to
And if I could just take one more chance and let you see through
Would you see it as love?
Would you see it for us?
So talk to me
About what, about you
What s there to talk about?
I wanna hear you say that you never knew me at all
But that s not true
I wanted this so badly
See things change
No you just moved away
And the further you went, the less you wanted to stay
I wish I could ve said something cool to make you listen
But the only thing that came to mind
Was how much I d be missing you
And missing this
And missing you
And missing this
