I guess that once I wore my heart around my neck and let it hang
C C G Am
Anybody who got close enough could rip it off its chain
C F C
There I am smiling up from photographs ‘cause how could I have known
C C G Am
That anybody’d care enough to take it for their own
F C
And all I know is I knew nothing then
F G
Yeah, I was just pretending that my footing was solid and secure
F C
All I know is that the people we were once
F G
They thought they were the ones to bypass breakdown, they were happy I am sure
C
But they are gone
F C
Oh-oh-oh they are gone
F C
Oh-oh-oh
Dm F
But I can’t give up on trying to reach them once again
Dm F
Think that I could see the world from the horizon where they stand
G F
Keep on mailing letters, but they’re all “return to sender”
G
Can’t remember how it felt to be in love
Am F
‘Cause everything went wrong
C F C
Now they are gone
|C |C |C G |Am
C F
And the more I learn, the more I know not to believe the words you
C
said
C C G Am
But you must have nailed them down because they won’t escape my head
C F C
And the more I lose, the more I try to step back, reset the score
C C G Am
But I live like Fibonacci, adding all that’s come before
F C
What came before is stories I can’t tell
F
‘Cause the endings don’t sit well inside my stomach
G
Hard to swallow, hard to taste
F C
What came before is people we were once
F G
People who believed in something more than futures and thought time too short to waste
C
But they are gone
F C
Oh-oh-oh they are gone
F C
Oh-oh-oh
Dm F
But I can’t give up on trying to reach them once again
Dm F
Think that I could see the world from the horizon where they stand
G F
Keep on mailing letters, but they’re all “return to sender”

Can’t remember how it felt to be in love

F C F
The people we were once will never be enough to keep me going
G F
Keep me hoping things will change
C F
Because the people we were once had no idea that love was more than skin-deep
G
Hadn’t learned how to be brave
C
But they are gone
F C C
Oh-oh-oh they are gone
F C
Oh-oh-oh
Dm F
And it’s time to stop my crying, we will never meet again
Dm F G
I have walked too far from the horizon where they stand to turn around
F
And to turn back into that girl, I won’t defend her
F G
Can’t remember how it felt to be in love
F G
Just remember I am stronger than she was
C F C C
And she is gone
C G Am
And I’ve missed her far too long
