[F#m]
[C#m] [F#m]
[D] I [F#m]
[C#m] [F#m]
[D] [G#] saw you again, it felt like we had never met.
It's like the sunset in your eyes, I never wanted to rise.
What have you done with the one I love?
When I look into [E] your eyes, I see no surprise.
[Bm] I always thought it was sad, the way we act like [D] strangers.
After all that [F#m] we had, we act [D] like we had never met.
[F#m] You make believe, [C#m] I've [F#m] never seen your face yet.
[F#] Don't catch [F#m] my eye, [C#m] [F#m] on registers, no.
We were more than just a [C#m] friend, oh.
[F#m] But the [D] feeling, [F#m] it never came to [C#m] an end.
I can't [F#m] bear to see [D] it.
I [Bm] always thought it was a shame, that we have to play [D] these [A] games.
It felt like you really [F#m] knew me, now it feels like you see through me.

[B]
[G#m] When I see you [E] again, [B] I know not to [A] expect.
Stay one step [B] away, we won't have to wait.
[D] When I see [G#] you again, and I'm greeted [A] as a friend.
It is [D] understood, that we did all we could.
I always thought it [G#] was sad, the way we act [A] like strangers.
[F#m] After all that we had, we act like [D] we had never met.
I always thought it was a [F#m]
shame, that we [A] have to play these games.
It felt [F#m] like you really knew me, now it feels like you see through me.
