[F#] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It took a weekend, we drove to Provo.
_ _ [C] _ The snow was white and fluffy.
_ _ [G] _ _ But a weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us.
_ [C] The gray sky was vast and real cryptic above me.
[D] I wanted _ you _ [C] to love me like you used to do.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
We took two weeks in the Bahamas.
_ _ [C] _
Went out dancing every night.
_ _ [G] _
Tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things.
[C]
Most of the time [D] I guess I felt alright.
But [C] I wanted [D] you _ _ [G] to love me like you used [C] to do.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ But you cannot run, _ _ _
[C] _ and you cannot hide
_ _ [G] _
_ from the wreck we've made of our house, _ _
[C] _ and from the [G] mess [D] inside. _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We went down to New Orleans. _ _
_ [C] _ One weekend in the spring, _ _
[G] _ _ looked hard for what we lost. _
[C] It was painful to admit it, but [D] we couldn't find a thing.
[C] I _ wanted [D] you _ [G] to love me like you used to [C] do.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We went to New York City in September. _ _
[C] Took the train out of Manhattan to the Grand Army Stop.
[G] Found that bench we sat together on a thousand years ago.
[C] When I felt such love for you, I thought [D] my heart was gonna pop.
[C] I wanted [D] you _ _ [G] to love me like you used [C] to do.

[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ But I cannot run, _ _
[C] _ and I cannot _ hide
[G] _ from the wreck we've made of our house, _ _
[C] _ from the [D] mess inside.
