[Verse 1]
C G F
When the Atlantic called my name, I saw our lives flash right before my “I’s”
C G F C
“I do’s”, “I would have’s”, if I could have, then I would’ve had more time to think this through
G F C G F
Because the fact that I can’t have you, I’m a ghost, under a lamp post, on my own
C* G* F*
I never thought I’d lose the one that turned this town into a home
[Chorus]
C G Am
If her supremacy has shape, then don’t let my name get in her way
F
Let her hold onto, don’t let me get through
C G Am
My dearest memories still play, but I wouldn’t ask for one more day
F
Because if this boy truly broke the mold
Please let him be what I thought I could
[Verse 2]
C G F
Be the key to you and me, before the drinks, before everything
C G F
I could barely breathe, I fell asleep
C G F C
But it’s so hard not to falter when your sixth sense is picking fights with my existence
G F C
I’m terrified by all this distance; the ticking time seems so relentless
G F C G F
I’m broken down because what I miss is throwing rocks at picket fences that signify my broken wish list
C G F C
But tell me, what the hell's the difference in me then vs. what I have become
[Chorus]
C G Am
If her supremacy has shape, then don’t let my name get in her way
F
Let her hold onto, don’t let me get through
C G Am
My dearest memories still play, but I wouldn’t ask for one more day
F
Because if this boy truly broke the mold
C G
Please let him be what I thought I could
Am F C G
Please let him be what I thought I could
Am F
[Bridge]
C G Am F
I’ve spent all night trying to stay in between
C G Am F C
But with my mind, I’ve only got one heart and two left feet
C G Am F
[Chorus]
C G Am
If her supremacy has shape, then don’t let my name get in her way
F
Let her hold onto, don’t let me get through
C G Am
My dearest memories still play, but I wouldn’t ask for one more day
F
Because if this boy truly broke the mold
Am
Please let him be what I thought I could be
F C (x2)
