E                               F#
I would have walked through fire
        G#m
To kiss your lips
E
Do you still think about it
F#      G#m
Of what you did?
E
Still see your old apartment
F#      G#m
Like a bad trip
E                          F#       G#m
Wish I could forget all the places we've been

 E                             F# G#m
Hard and heavy whiskey goodbyes
 E                                  F# G#m
Boy you know how to make a girl cry
      E                           F# G#m
Was sleeping in a bed full of lies
     E                              F# G#m
And now that I'm older, I can see why

Chorus:
              E
Made me feel high
                     G#m
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
                 B
You owe me some time
                        E
'Cause you stunted my growth, growth, growth
E                       G#m
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
             B
Now that I know
             E
That wasn't love, that wasn't love
               E
That was just hope

E  F# G#m
Hope
E            F#         G#m
That wasn't love, that wasn't love
               E
That was just hope

Always another bender, I lose control
I thought I'd get it back when
You came back home to me, darling
But I never had it, did I? Your heart's a trick
And all the magic we felt was just a hit

Hard and heavy whiskey goodbyes
Boy, you know how to make a girl cry
Was sleeping in a bed full of lies
And now that I'm older, I can see why

Chorus:
You made me feel high
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
You only seemed tall
'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
Now that I know (Now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope

Hope
Hope ('Cause you had me so low)
Hope (Now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope

Chorus:
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
You only seemed tall
'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
Now that I know (Now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope
