[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
C F
Empty stares seeing only memories we wish to forget
C Am
Silent air eating up every word we said and regret
C F
I can't even tell you what we fought about right before
Am
you went through the door
C F
and we were no more,
F
no more
[Chorus]
F C
All the promises that we made
F Am
disappear as we start to fade
F G
It's over
Am G
darling, it's over now
F C
Who could've known that we'd reach the end
F Am
one step back from where we began
F G
It's over
Am G
darling, it's over now
C F
strangers again
C F
how did we get to being strangers again
[Instrumental]
C F
[Verse 2]
C
Take me back to nights when we'd lie under the stars
F
I'd be wrapped up in the thought that you were all that I was not
C Am
When nothing had a reason, still everything made sense
C
Take me back to when we were foolish, naive
F
to believe that our love was the kind people dreamed of
C F
We hoped our forever would go on for days, and days, and days, and days
F Am G
Now it's as if we've ceased to exist
F Am G F
The only thing that I'm sure I'll never miss
Am G F
was watching you slip through my fist
[Verse 3]
C F
Tried to fix the damage done and tried to win what could not be won
C F
Started all our battles long before the war had even begun
F Am G
Well, we fought so long but it wasn't fair
F Am G F
holding on to what was no longer there
Am G F
We were no longer there now were we
[Chorus]
F C
All the promises that we made
F Am
disappear as we start to fade
F G
It's over
Am G
darling, it's over now
F C
Who could've known that we'd reach the end
F Am
one step back from where we began
F G
It's over
Am G
darling, it's over now
[Bridge]
Dm
Seconds, days, weeks pass and I'm still feeling trapped
F
by answers that I'll never get to questions that I'll never ask
C
'cause I had rather push you aside than
G
find the strength to swallow my pride
Dm
If we retrace lines and go back in time
F
If we found a way would you still be mine
C
If I saw the clues, if I only knew
F C
That I'd lose you
[Chorus]
F
It's been months since we've
C
said good bye
F Am
yet I still find you on my mind
F G
but that's over
Am G
don't say that we're over, over
F C
Who could've known that we'd reach the end
F Am
one step back from where we began
F G
It's over
Am G
darling, it's over now
C F
strangers again
C F
how did we get to being strangers
C F
strangers again
