[Intro]
G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G
[Verse 1]
G Dsus2
I spent the last few years really struggling yeah
Dsus2
From fighting urges and just screaming through
C
All the friendships and the fuckups
Em G C
And the nights that got away from us
[Verse 2]
G Dsus2
So I lined up a bottle for each question asked
Dsus2
I closed a chapter on a city that contained most
C
And landed in some outer borough
Em G C
Where I picked up the keys from your neighbor next door
[Verse 3]
G Dsus2
You may have been bounced around yourself now once or twice
Dsus2
You may have mentioned it when we were passing in the night
C
But oh! I remind you of a place you come from
Em G C
I said, you probably should take more pride in that
[Fill]
C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
And I see how we drifted apart
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk
C
You've been a good friend, darling
G C
But just not a lover yet
[Verse 4]
G Dsus2
So we spent the best years painting pictures of
Dsus2
The adults we knew or the adults that we were running from
C
But oh, the things I could've said to you then
Em G C
If I'd the man speaking for the boy I was back then
[Verse 5]
G
Those were last words I said when I was 17
Dsus2
I look at you now and I think,
C
Oh my God, I'm about as together and with it
Em G C
and clever as I ever was back then
[Fill]
C Cadd9 C Cmaj7
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
And I see how we drifted apart
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk
C
You've been a good friend, darling
G C
But just not a lover yet
[Outro]
Fmaj7 Em C Fmaj7
But old---- bones hold in place these dates
Em C Fmaj7
Old---- bones carry me where I am
