[G] [C] [A] We broke up but we could've [F] just been out before
[G] [A] Now I'm standing in the fire, as [F] if dancing across the floor
[G] [A] And then the day you [C] spoke, it felt so [F] old, it used to be down
[G] [A] [Am] Who would sing more songs, [F] when they're without a sound
[G] [A] [G] They [F] [C] don't write like that anymore, [Dm] they
[F] [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
[A] We've been living together [F] for a million years
[G] [A] And I feel so strange, [F] I think that this feels [G] [A] wrong
And then the cute [C] parts of this [F] song I used to know
[G] [A]
Now I'm scared of [C] everybody, [F] since they're dancing so slow
[G] [A] [G]
[F] [C] They don't write like that [G] anymore, [Dm] they

Now [C] I'm standing [F] at a dead last, [G] [A] [C]
cause it's so easy to say [F] that you forget your past
