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
