G         Am7            G                       Am7
I woke up late again and for the first time in a while
G                     Am7      G                             Am7
I don't feel wrong or lazy and it doesn't feel like standing trial
G                       Am7      G                         Am7
You were married in the morning, or at least that's what I heard.
G                  Am7    G                               Am7
Another man in California to feel your touch and hear your words.

[Chorus]
C             G         C             Em
Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
C                        G
I thought that I was the exception
      Em                   Am7
and I thought you were the one
          C                  D               G
but I was just the first one waiting in line.

[Verse 2]
G                   Am7       G                Am7
When we finally got settled I couldn't feel my toes.
G                     Am7        G               Am7
We drove right up the middle and kissed until we froze.
G                     Am7     G                         Am7
You're still in every letter, yeah you're the box on my shelf.
G              Am7      G            Am7
Lighter than a feather, heavier than hell.

[Chorus]
C             G         C             Em
Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
C                        G
I thought that I was the exception
      Em                   Am7
and I thought you were the one
          C                  D               G
but I was just the first one waiting in line.

[Bridge]
D               G               C
Taking our time saying goodbye, any little reason to stay.
Am7        C                G
(Hummming) This is the last time.
D                          G
It's not even that I still wish you were mine, I just don't know how to wish you away
Am7       C              G
(Humming) and it's about time.

[Chorus]
C             G         C             Em
Was it just a lesson, or was it in my mind?
C                        G
I thought that I was the exception
      Em                   Am7
and I thought you were the one
          C                  D               G
but I was just the first one waiting in line.
