[Verse 1]
A
If anyone asks
Amaj7
Oh I’m doing fine
D
I’ve been dusting the rooms
Dmaj7
Where your stuff used to lie
F#m
I would call it a spring clean
E A
But nothing has grown since you left
[Verse 2]
A
If anyone asks
Amaj7
Oh I’m doing fine
D
I’ve been using the time
Dmaj7
To read books you don’t like
F#m
Never knew how to read you
E A
Guess now I don’t even have to try
[Chorus]
D
And my friends phone me up
D
Saying how you holding up
A A
And I say to them I’m holding strong
D
They will sigh with relief
D
While I stare at my feet
A A
Holding back how I’m barely holding on
F#m D
Coz all I know now is that I don’t know how
E A F#m
You whitewashed me so quickly and you don’t think of me at all
D Dm
How does that feel, tell me how does that feel
[Verse 3]
A
Yeah I’m keeping busy
Amaj7
Oh I’m learning Spanish coz
D
Talking to yourself
Dmaj7
Seems more sane in a language
F#m
That no one else speaks
E A
They can’t hear all the tears in your words
[Chorus]
D
And my friends phone me up
D
Saying how you holding up
A A
And I say to them I’m holding strong
D
They will sigh with relief
D
While I stare at my feet
A A
Holding back how I’m barely holding on
F#m D
Coz all I know now is that I don’t know how
E A F#m
You whitewashed me so quickly and you don’t think of me at all
D Dm
How does that feel, tell me how does that feel
[Bridge]
D
Nothing makes sense anymore
A Amaj7
You went back to the south
D A Amaj7
I’d choose you every lifetime loving you inside and out
E
But I never chose feeling
D Dm
Lonely when I heard the rain
A
Or your name or the song that you
Said was for about me
Amaj7
Was it really
E
Nobody chooses
D
To lose him when all that you knew
Dm
Was how to be his
[Chorus]
D
And my friends phone me up
D
Saying how you holding up
A A
And I say to them I’m holding strong
D
They will sigh with relief
D
While I stare at my feet
A A
Holding back how I’m barely holding on
F#m D
Coz all I know now is that I don’t know how
E A F#m
You whitewashed me so quickly and you don’t think of me at all
D Dm
How does that feel, tell me how does that feel
