Intro: B C#m E A x2

Verse:
E             B                  A
I used to think one day weʼd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
E         B                A
People would say, "theyʼre the lucky ones"
E             B                A
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
                            E
Now Iʼm searching the room for an empty seat
                   B              A
ʼCause lately I donʼt even know what page youʼre on
B            C#m
Oh, a simple complication
 E      A         E
Miscommunications lead to fall out
A
So many things that I wish you knew
B
So many walls up I canʼt break through

Chorus:
E             B           A
Now Iʼm standing alone In a crowded room And weʼre not speaking
E           B            A
And Iʼm dying to know Is it killing you Like itʼs killing me?
C#m              B              E               A
 I donʼt know what to say Since a twist of fate When it all
broke down
      C#m           B            A
And the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter

B C#m E A

Verse:
E              B
Howʼd we end up this way?
            A
See me nervously pulling at my clothes And trying to look busy
E                B         A
And youʼre doing your best to avoid me
E                  B                  A
Iʼm starting to think one day Iʼll tell the story of us

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
E            B                    A
But you held your pride like you should have held me
B                    C#m
Oh, weʼre scared to see the ending
E         A           E
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
  A
Iʼd tell you I miss you but I donʼt know how
 B
Iʼve never heard silence quite this loud

Chorus:
E             B           A
Now Iʼm standing alone In a crowded room And weʼre not speaking
E           B            A
And Iʼm dying to know Is it killing you Like itʼs killing me?
C#m              B              E               A
 I donʼt know what to say Since a twist of fate When it all
broke down
      C#m           B            A
And the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy now

B C#m E A x2

Bridge:
E
This is looking like a contest
 A
 Of who can act like they care less
   C#m              B         A
But I liked it better when you were on my side
E                    A
The battleʼs in your hands now But I would lay my armor down
   C#m         B           A
If youʼd say youʼd rather love than fight
A
So many things that you wish I knew
B
But the story of us might be ending soon

Chorus:
E             B           A
Now Iʼm standing alone In a crowded room And weʼre not speaking
E           B            A
And Iʼm dying to know Is it killing you Like itʼs killing me?
C#m              B              E               A
 I donʼt know what to say Since a twist of fate When it all
broke down
      C#m           B
And the story of us Looks a lot like a tragedy
 A       E B A
now now, now      And weʼre not speaking
E           B            A
And Iʼm dying to know Is it killing you Like itʼs killing me?
C#m              B              E
 I donʼt know what to say Since a twist of fate
              A         C#m
ʼcause weʼre going down And the story of us
     B             A
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
