E                         Esus4
Been around the world and back this year
E                   Esus4
Told myself I wanna face this fear
       E                 Asus2         E   Asus2
But I don't think I can stand on my own
           E                Esus4
She's got eyes like spring, legs like the summer
E                        Esus4
Everybody says she looks just like her mother
       E               Asus2          E   Asus2
But I think she wants that left alone

C#m               B            Asus2
There's too many ways to say goodbye
C#m               E            Asus2
But it's quite the opposite this time

Chorus:
C#m                         B
Sometimes I can't help but say
     E                         A
I'm falling in love and it's scaring me
C#m                   B
It came to me in a dream
     E                     A
Now all that's left is our empathy
D#m
But this is just the life I ordered
Asus2
One step back and two steps forward
F#m
Sometimes I can't help but say
Asus2         B
We're making history

Been around the world and back this year
I never wanted to be so sincere
I'm not a hero or a saint
But don't push me away
When you believed in me it brought us together
Everybody says that it won't last forever
Close your eyes, don't cut the ties, it makes sense

There's too many ways to say goodbye
But it's quite the opposite this time

Chorus

A  A      B      A  A    E  
     Our history

    Asus2                E
You pulled me in like a tidal wave
     C#m                 B
And let ourselves just float away
Asus2      E            C#m       E  
With no direction, or a way to rewind
          Asus2                E
Yeah, you pulled me in like a tidal wave
C#m                  B
Thought that it was my mistake
        F#m            E           Asus2
And we'd fall apart before I say goodbye
F#m                 E        Asus2
But it's quite the opposite this time

Chorus
