Em            Bm          C                         G  
I want to go back, forget that it' s over
Em             Bm        C                          G  
Painted in black, when you left me alone
Em         Bm                 C  
I never knew, she was sleeping next door
                         G             Em             Bm                 C  
With the kid I grew up with, and I can' t go back to her
G            D  
Anymore, no more

Em                  C                 G                                D  
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
Em                         C                      G                     D  
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Em                     C                     G                            D  
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks

And every time you ask I' ll pretend I' m okay
Em                 Bm  
You' re inside my head,
C  
In the middle of the night when I don' t feel right
G                                Em              Bm                 C             G         D
