[Verse 1]
E         F#
 Pinch me now
       A
You’re caught in my crossfire
E       F#    A
 Fell into my arms
                   A
But they got tired
F#           A                 E
  We were so good, weren’t we?
F#             A                E
  Till it just stopped working
       F#      A
Almost like we tore out the same page
   E       F#     A
And left a lot of room for new mistakes
E   F#          A         E
You never quite let me in
F#              A
  When you felt cracks again


[Chorus]
E    G#      C#m
I... stopped waving the flag
       E
I just dropped
G#  C#m                    E
Oh, caring for that I went quiet
    G#         C#m
And you got cold
           E             G#     C#m  A  E
Guess that happened when we got older...

[Verse 2]
E
 Humour me
      Amaj7    A           E       F#
Could taking a break be the better thing?
     A                         E
Just letting each other breathe
F#               Amaj7        E
  Would you just look at me?
F#        A
  Or am I too draining?


[Chorus]
E   G#    C#m
You spent hours awake
        E
Holding back
    G#   C#m                       E
And I... know I’m to blame for the small talk
    G#        C#m
And tiptoeing over
           E             G#     C#m  A  E
Guess that happened when we got older...


[Instrumental]
E   F#   A
E   F#   A
E   F#   A
E   F#   A


[Chorus]
E*  G#*   C#m*
You spent hours awake
        E*
Holding back
    G#*  C#m*                      E*
And I... know I’m to blame for the small talk
    G#*       C#m*
And tiptoeing over
           E*            G#*    C#m* A* E*
Guess that happened when we got older...
