F
It’s a lie that you said, a goodbye
               Dm
It’s the empty side of the bed, it's the kid
                C
Who pretends he loves to hold her hand
It’s why he skipped the dance
               Bb
It’s what they say the bible says
So who the hell could understand


[Verse 2]
       F
It’s a train from New York too late
                Dm
To the hospital ward when your knees hit the floor
                     C
It’s your whole damn life inside a drawer
'Cause your parents got divorced
          Bb
It’s your Dad's apartment door
Can’t say I love you anymore


[Chorus]
F
I don’t know why we don’t talk about that
We’re all growing up just a little too fast
      Dm
We all have words we can’t say back
And look too long at a photograph
   C
We all got something that we think we lack
                          C/A
Holding onto bags that we can’t unpack
   Bb
We all need help but we don’t ask
                           F
Maybe we should talk about that


[Verse 3]
     F
It’s youth - that rush, it’s strange
             Dm
It’s all too much change too fast
             C
It’s all the friends you thought you had
And the burn of summers past
           Bb
How both a bottle on the desk
And a heart are made of glass


[Chorus]
    F
No, I don’t know why we don’t talk about that
We’re all growing up just a little too fast
      Dm
We’ve all got words we can’t say back
And look too long at a photograph
   C
We all got something that we think we lack
Holding onto bags that we can’t unpack
   Bb
We all need help but we don’t ask
                           F
Maybe we should talk about that


[Instrumental]
F       Dm      C       Bb

[Bridge]
Bb
If I’m speaking honestly
Dm                              F       C
I need you like you need me
Bb
If I’m speaking honestly
Dm                              F
I need you like you need me, darling
         C
Darling, yeah


[Verse 4]
F
It’s a plot, it’s a grave, all you got
            Dm
Is the dash between the dates, what a cost
              C
It’s what you make before it stops
So why is it so hard to say
     Bb
That life can be a lot
And everyone’s afraid

[Outro]
     F
Now, I don’t know why we don’t talk about that
    Dm
No, I don’t know why we don’t talk about that
    C
No, I don’t know why we don’t talk about that
    Bb
No, I don’t know why
