[Chorus 1] 
(Acoustic)

Tell me what you
thought about when 
E        A
you were gone
B      C#m
And so alone
    A
The worst is over
C#m              B
You can have the best of me
E      A
We got older
    B           C#m  
But we're still young
A
We never grew out of this 
C#m             B         A(hold) A(hold)
feeling that we won't give up

[Verse 1]

E
Here we lay again     
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
    A
You hear a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from 
E
memoriues
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings
    A
And missing each other too
                   E
Much to vow to let go


[Refrain 1]

   F#m                       
We turn our music down
A
  And we whisper
F#m
   "Say what you're 
               A
thinking right now"


[Chorus 2] 
(Distorted)

Tell me what you
thought about when 
E        A
you were gone
B      C#m
And so alone
    A
The worst is over
C#m              B
You can have the best of me
E      A
We got older
    B           C#m  
But we're still young
A
We never grew out of this 
C#m             B          A
feeling that we won't give up


[Post-chorus] 

E


[Verse 2]

E   
Jumping to conclusions
Made me fall away from you
    A
I'm so glad that the truth has 
                             E
brought back together me and you


[Refrain 2]

      F#m
We're sitting on the 
      A
ground and we whisper
F#m
   "Say what you're
             A
thinking out loud"


[Repeat Chorus 2]

Tell me what you
thought about when 
E        A
you were gone
B      C#m
And so alone
    A
The worst is over
C#m              B
You can have the best of me
E      A
We got older
    B           C#m  
But we're still young
A
We never grew out of this 
C#m             B          A
feeling that we won't give up


[Post-chorus] 

E A B C#m A  C#m B  x2


[Bridge]

   C#m
We turn our music down
A
  And we whisper
      C#m
We're sitting on the ground
A
And we whisper
   C#m
We turn our music down
      A
We're sitting on the ground
    C#m
The next time I'm in town
A
We will kiss girl
We will kiss girl


[Chorus 3]

Tell me what you
thought about when 
E        A
you were gone
B      C#m
And so alone
    A
The worst is over
C#m              B
You can have the best of me
E      A
We got older
    B           C#m  
But we're still young
A
We never grew out of this 
C#m             B
feeling that we won't
C#m             B
feeling that we can't
     C#m            B       A
That were not ready to give up


[Outro] 
(Acoustic)

E      A
We got older
    B           C#m  
But we're still young
A
We never grew out of this 
C#m             B         A (hold)
feeling that we won't give up
