B  E


[Verse 1]
B
Another "almost perfect"

Didn't work, but totally worth it
E
Better to have loved and lost my mind

Than lose the nerve to even try
B
Another conversation

Awkward, but the ice is breaking
E
I've been in some shit relationships

But I've remained an optimist


[Pre-Chorus]
B
It's not a game I'm playing
E
It's not a thrill I'm chasing
B
More like a space I'm saving
E
And I don't even know your name


[Chorus]
            B
But if it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time
            E
With every "so close," I'm closer to the rest of my life
B
Another bad first date (Check)

Another "nothing left to say" (Check)
E
What I mean is, the way I see it
                              B    G#m   E
I'm one heartbreak closer to you, you


[Verse 2]
B
Hey baby, can I call you "baby?" Is that okay?
E
I don't even know you, but I can't wait to know you someday
B
Imagine someday when we look back
E                                    C#m
I'll thank my past for giving me my future better half


[Pre-Chorus]
 B
I'm sorry for the time it's taking
 E
But I'ma make it worth the waiting
 B
And all this wrong love that I learned from
  E
Was just practice for the right one


[Chorus]
            B
But if it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time
            E
With every "so close," I'm closer to the rest of my life
B
Another just got played (Check)

A shot of bourbon for the pain (Check)
E
What I mean is, the way I see it
                              B    G#m   E
I'm one heartbreak closer to you, you

[Bridge]
B
It's kinda strange to miss

Someone I haven't met yet
E
Someone I haven't kissed yet

But I'll go through it all


[Chorus]
        B
If it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time
       E
With every "so close," I'm closer to the rest of my life
B
Another sad goodbye (Check)
E
Another sleepless night (Check)
B
What I mean is, the way I see it
E                             B   G#m E
I'm one heartbreak closer to you, you,
B   G#m E
you, you
                           B
One heartbreak closer to you
