[Intro]
C#m/D
[Verse 1]
D7 C#m7 F#m7
Maybe we’d be better off as friends,
D7 C#m7 F#m7
Or maybe you could be, the best thing that could,
D7 C#m7 F#m7
Happen to me and you’re just too awkward to pretend,
D7 C#m7 F#m7
That there’s nothing between us, not even a spark at the,
[Pre-Chorus]
A(omit5)/D Riff 1 A(omit5)/C# Riff 2 F#m/B
Best of times, I heard you calling my,
A(omit5)/D Riff 1 A(omit5)/C# Riff 2 F#m/B
Name that time, just as I got,
A(omit5)/D Riff 1 A(omit5)/C# Riff 2 F#m/B
In my car, and drove off with you,
A(omit5)/D Riff 1 A(omit5)/C# Riff 2 F#m/B
Stan- ding there.
[Chorus]
Ama7
Because I was too scared,
C#7 D7
To admit what I wanted,
Ama7
And you were right there,
C#7 D7
And I guess that I blew it,
F#m7
As you choked on the smoke,
A7
That came from my exhaust,
Bm7
I watched you in the mirror,
D7
And wallowed in remorse.
[Verse 2]
D7 C#m7 F#m7
We haven’t spoken in a month,
Have you been avoiding me?
D7 C#m7 F#m7
Or have I been subconciously staying everywhere you don’t go.
D7 C#m7 F#m7
I’d love to make up, but my mouth is sealed shut,
D7 C#m7 F#m7
No more excuses, set me free because I really don’t wanna lose this.
[Pre-Chorus]
A(omit5)/D Riff 1 A(omit5)/C# Riff 2 F#m/B
No not this time, I heard you calling my,
A(omit5)/D Riff 1 A(omit5)/C# Riff 2 F#m/B
Name that time, just as I got,
A(omit5)/D Riff 1 A(omit5)/C# Riff 2 F#m/B
In my car, and drove off with you,
A(omit5)/D Riff 1 A(omit5)/C# Riff 2 F#m/B
Stan- ding there.
[Chorus]
Ama7
Because I was too scared,
C#7 D7
To admit what I wanted,
Ama7
And you were right there,
C#7 D7
And I guess that I blew it,
F#m7
As you choked on the smoke,
A7
That came from my exhaust,
Bm7
I watched you in the mirror,
D7
And wallowed in remorse.

[Bridge] (Individual strings picked until last line where I start strumming)
D7 Ama7 A7*
I plucked up the courage,
Ama7 A7*
To go over to your house,
F#m11(omit 5)
And we sat in your bedroom,
A9 Em/A
And talked everything out,
D7
I found you felt the same way,
Ama7 A7*
As I did last year,
F#m11(omit 5)
And I knew straight away,
A9 Em/A
That wasn’t what you wanted to hear.
[Outro]
D7 Ama7
I’m sorry that I broke your heart,
A7* F#m11(omit 5)
I’m sorry that you didn’t want me back then,
A9
I’m sorry I never got that far,
Em/A
With telling you how I felt.
D7 Ama7
I’m sorry that I broke your heart,
A7* F#m11(omit 5)
I’m sorry that you didn’t want me back then,
A9
I’m sorry I never got that far,
Em/A
With telling you how I felt.
