Em    D        C      G        X2

[Verse 1]
Em           D       C                        G
  No need to say it,   but I'm thinking 'bout you
Em            D        C             G
  Hate that I hate it,   still …can't €…hide from the €…truth
           Em             D
You wanted more, couldn't give you €…my all
                C                 G
Got lost in the woods, but you're close to my heart
Em   D               C                        G
  No need to say it,   but I'm thinking 'bout you

[Pre-Chorus]
Em        D       C        G
  Trading places,   all my friends say
Em         D               C                         G
  "Time to let it go", but they don't know when I'm alone
          Am      G        D                   Em
It's just   empty   spaces   where you used to live
          Am    G          D                    Em
You would   ask me to stay home and sleep until late

[Chorus]
          C                        G
And every time that I said, "not today"
            Am                     Em
You made me promise that I'd never change
          C         G         Am                       Em
Now we're   trading   places,   'cause you're walking away
N.C.    N.C.       N.C          N.C.
Trading places and I've got the pen

[Interlude]
Am   G       D    Em   X2

[Verse 2]
Em                   D         C                       G
  Sudden calm in the violence,   certain thrill in the blues
Em                  D                    C                   G
  We've rewired our heartstrings, 'cause we're too scared to lose
               Em                   D
We thought the loving would never decay
              C                    G
Even when you knew that I couldn't stay and now we are

[Pre-Chorus]
Em        D       C        G
  Trading places,   all my friends say
Em         D               C                         G
  "Time to let it go", but they don't know when I'm alone
          Am      G        D                   Em
It's just   empty   spaces   where you used to live
          Am    G          D                    Em
You would   ask me to stay home and sleep until late

[Chorus]
          C                        G
And every time that I said, "not today"
            Am                     Em
You made me promise that I'd never change
          C         G         Am                       Em
Now we're   trading   places,   'cause you're walking away
N.C.    N.C.       N.C          N.C.
Trading places and I've got the pen

[Interlude]
Am   G       D    Em   X2

[Chorus]
          C                        G
And every time that I said, "not today"
            Am                     Em
You made me promise that I'd never change
          C         G         Am                       Em
Now we're   trading   places,   'cause you're walking away

[Bridge]
C         Am        Em              D
  Trading   places,   we're not the same, so I'm walking away
C         Am      Em            D
  Trading places,   started the fire, got caught in the flame
C         Am     Em                   D
  Trading places   and you turned the page, now I'm floating away
C         Am     Em             D                  N.C.
  Trading places   and now I've got the pen

[Pre-Chorus]
C      G        D                   Em
  Empty   spaces   where you used to live
          C        G         D                      Em
You would   ask me   to stay   home and sleep until late

[End-Chorus]
          C                        G
And every time that I said, "not today"
            Am                     Em
You made me promise that I'd never change
          C         G         Am                       Em
Now we're   trading   places,   'cause you're walking away
C         G        Am                 Em
  Trading   places   and I've got the pen

[Outro]
C    G      D    Em
C    G      Am   Em
