[Verse 1]
C F
I was hoping that you'd stay
C F
‘Cause tonight I wanna stay up late
C F
I was hoping that you'd say
C F
That you were feeling lonely just like me
C F
I'm still hoping that you're happy
C F
‘Cause you know I can barely stand up straight
C F C F
I'm still hoping that I can be, everything that you would ask of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
But am I
All wrong
G
Long gone
C
Too far from your heart
F
Last year was hard
I fell apart
[Chorus]
C
I know you don't feel this way but
F
I'll try to convince you so
Am
If it's lost
G
Or if it's fate
F
I hope you pick up this late
C
I know you don't feel this way but
F
I'll try to convince you so
Am
If it's lost
G
Or if it's fate
F
I hope you pick up this late
C
C F
I've been missing how we'd pretend
C F
Cause tonight I really need a friend
C F
We pretended we were happy
C F
Maybe we can try and start it again
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
But am I
All wrong
G
Long gone
C
Too far from your heart
F
Last year was hard
I fell apart
[Chorus]
C
I know you don't feel this way but
F
I'll try to convince you so
Am
If it's lost
G
Or if it's fate
F
I hope you pick up this late
C
I know you don't feel this way but
F
I'll try to convince you so
Am
If it's lost
G
Or if it's fate
F
I hope you pick up this late
[Bridge]
Am C F C
Ooooh…
Am C
I never thought that we'd end up like this
F
But the cycling it makes me sick
C
It's a long shot and I can't tell
Am C
another coin in the wishing well
F C
Another coin in a wishing well
Am C
Honestly if I'm being honest with myself
F
I know which way you fell
F
You don't love me I can tell
[Chorus]
C
I know you don't feel this way but
F
I'll try to convince you so
Am
If it's lost
G
Or if it's fate
F
I hope you pick up this late
C
I know you don't feel this way but
F
I'll try to convince you so
Am
If it's lost
G
Or if it's fate
F
I hope you pick up this late
C
I hope you pick up this late
I hope you pick up this late
