[Intro]

G Cadd9 (x3)

[Verse]

      G                                                                   
It's safe to say we've always been actors. 
     Cadd9
From time to time I think of what everything 
      G                           Cadd9    G
would be like if we made one good scene.
          Cadd9                                    
Apathetic time turns us into 
                 D                          
awkward passing nerves, 
                       Cadd9
where nothing is ever beautiful 
                G
and everything hurts.

[Chorus]

G                   Cadd9     G
Because I loved you first,
             Cadd9                            G
And we never sang those sad songs together.

[Verse]

G                     Cadd9   
Our bodies they break down. 
G                                
Our honesty is breaking my heart.
   Cadd9
Whenever we're close neither 
                                     D                                      
one of us will change, because I'm chained to 
                               Cadd9
the past with the future in my veins.

[Verse]

G                               Cadd9                                           
"There is a car in the driveway. 
                       G
Just drive." she said. 
                           Cadd9
"There is a train downtown. 
                               G
We could hop right on and get out of here." 
                                              Cadd9
We've been running away from things we can't control. 
                          G
We can never settle down.   
                                           Cadd9
We're always scared. Our hearts won't stop beating.
                       G
But we've just got to sit this out until we 
                               Cadd9                             
reach level ground until the terrain gets easier. 
                G                    Cadd9
And then only there can we rest our lonely hearts.

[Interlude]

G Cadd9 (x2)

[Pre-chorus]

D                         Cadd9
....Let's rest our lonely hearts!

[Chorus]

G                   Cadd9    G
Because I loved you first,
             Cadd9                          G 
And we never sang those sad songs together.
