[Intro]
E G#m F#m A
[Verse 1]
E G#m
When my friends ask me how I've been
F#m
I don't say I spend too much time
A
Erasing your name from my mind
E G#m
and if they ask me how I slept
F#m
well I don't talk about those nights
A B
I just say I'm doing fine
E
Might say I've never been better
G#m
Life's great, better than ever
F#m A B
I've got time for finding myself without her
[Chorus]
E
But heartbreak hasn't been good for me
G#m
I probably drink too much and I hardly sleep
F#m
And when I do I dream of you and me
A B
Carving our names into that tree
E
And when they play that song
What's it called?
G#m
I'm like a record stuck that can't move on
F#m A
I always say I'm fine
B E
But honestly I lie
[Instrumental]
G#m F#m A B
[Verse 2]
E G#m
They always say it's a small world
F#m
It can't be smaller than this town
A B
I'm always seeing you around
E
I saw you out
G#m
Before I got to speak my mind
F#m
You said "I moved on from you
A B
I'm glad to see that you have too"
E
So say I've never been better
G#m
Life's great, better than ever
F#m A B
You're right, it's probably for the best
[Chorus]
E
But heartbreak hasn't been good for me
G#m
I probably drink too much and I hardly sleep
F#m
And when I do I dream of you and me
A B
Carving our names into that tree
E
And when they play that song
What's it called?
G#m
I'm like a record stuck that can't move on
F#m A
I always say I'm fine
B A E B
But honestly I lie
[Bridge]
A E B
I lie
F#m
Because I'm always tryin' to fool everybody else
A E
But I only fool myself
[Chorus]
E
But heartbreak hasn't been good for me
G#m
I probably drink too much and I hardly sleep
F#m
And when I do I dream of you and me

Carving our names into that tree
