[Verse 1]
G Am7 G Am7
I woke up late again and for the first time in a while
G Am7 G Am7
I don't feel wrong or lazy and it doesn't feel like standing trial
G Am7 G G
You were married in the morning, or at least that's what I heard.
G Am7 G Am7
Another man in California to feel your touch and hear your words.
[Chorus]
C G C Em
Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
C G
I thought that I was the exception
Em Am7
and I thought you were the one
C D G
but I was just the first one waiting in line.
[Verse 2]
G Am7 G Am7
When we finally got settled I couldn't feel my toes.
G Am7 G Am7
We drove right up the middle and kissed until we froze.
G Am7 G Am7
You're still in every letter, yeah you're the box on my shelf.
G Am7 G Am7
Lighter than a feather, heavier than hell.
[Chorus]
C G C Em
Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
C G
I thought that I was the exception
Em Am7
and I thought you were the one
C D G
but I was just the first one waiting in line.
[Bridge]
D G C
Taking our time saying goodbye, any little reason to stay.
Am7 C G
(Hummming) This is the last time.
D G
It's not even that I still wish you were mine, I just don't know how to wish you away
Am7 C G
(Humming) and it's about time.
[Chorus]
C G C Em
Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
C G
I thought that I was the exception
Em Am7
and I thought you were the one
C D G
but I was just the first one waiting in line.
