Verse 1
Tell me what you thought about when 
E        A
you were gone
B      Cm
And so alone
A
The worst is over
Cm               B       A
You can have the best of me
E      A
We got older
    B           Cm  
But we're still young
A                         Cm              B         A

[Verse 2]
E       E       E     E
Here we lay again
E       E            
On two separate beds
E          E
Riding phone lines
A
You hear a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from 
E        E      E    E
mem  or  eee hee 
E    E         E        E
We reflect on miscommunications
E       E     E      E
And misunderstandings
A
And missing each other too
Much to vow to let 
E  E  E  E
go

[Bridge 1]
Fm                       
Turn our music down

"Say what you're thinking right now"

Tell me what you thought about when 
E        A
you were gone
B      Cm
And so alone
A
The worst is over

You can have the best of me
E      A
We got older

But we're still young
A                         Cm              B         A
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up

[Verse 3]
E       E      E        E    
Jumping to conclusions
         E            E      E    E 
Made me fall away from you
A                                                           E
I'm so glad that the truth has brought back together me and you

The next time I'm in town
