[Verse 1]
Bb Gm
We never had coffee table books or dinner parties
Bb Gm
We always had hazy nights and sex, clichés in Paris
Eb
Don't disturb on the top floor
F
Getting high by the window
Eb
In bed with your eyes locked into mine
F
How perfect was it?
[Chorus]
Bb
9th of October, I always remember
Gm
No bad things had happened then
Bb
Honestly, you never thought you'd fall for me
Gm
But somehow you got pulled in
Eb
Livin' so fast, makin' memories last
F
'Til our hearts couldn't hold no more
Eb
Hear you explodin' while I am implodin'
F
Now, how did we let this go?
[Post-Chorus]
Bb Gm
We never had, ah
Bb Gm
We never wanted, ah
Eb
We never had, ah
F Eb
We never wanted
F
A normal kind of love
[Verse 2]
Bb
We never had time for useless fights
Gm
'Bout dirty laundry
Bb
We always had tender, long goodbyes
Gm
Packed bags in a hurry
Eb
Our last kiss at the bus stop
F
Had I known, would've jumped off
Eb F
And now from the pieces of my heart, I'm so sorry
[Chorus]
Bb
9th of October, I always remember
Gm
No bad things had happened then
Bb
Honestly, you never thought you'd fall for me
Gm
But somehow you got pulled in
Eb
Livin' so fast, makin' memories last
F
'Til our hearts couldn't hold no more
Eb
Hear you explodin' while I am implodin'
F
Now, how did we let this go?
[Post-Chorus]
Bb Gm
We never had, ah
Bb Gm
We never wanted, ah
Eb
We never had, ah
F Eb
We never wanted
F
A normal kind of love
[Refrain]
Bb Gm
Waitin' for my heart, waitin' for my heart (We never wanted)
Bb Gm
Waitin' for my heart, waitin' for my heart
Eb
Still waitin' for my heart, waitin' for my heart
F
We never wanted a normal kind of love
[Bridge]
Bb Gm
9th of October, I always remember
Bb
9th of October, I always remember
Gm
Those big words, I said them first
Eb F
9th of October, I always remember
Eb
9th of October, can't think of it sober
F
'Cause all of it fuckin' hurts
[Refrain]
Bb Gm
Waitin' for my heart, waitin' for my heart (We never wanted)
Bb Gm
Waitin' for my heart, waitin' for my heart
Eb
Still waitin' for my heart, waitin' for my heart

We never wanted a normal kind of love

Still waitin' for my heart, waitin' for my heart
F Eb
We never wanted a normal kind of love
