Am                           C 
Cause I just wanna talk about  
F                  Em                   F                       Em 
The way we were when our world stopped turning  
Am                          C 
Why can't we just laugh about  
F                    Em                   F               Em 
Mistakes we made, they were good old days, but  
G                                 F 
I don't care about the lies we told  
G                                 Fmaj7 
We'll feel better when we get older  

Am                       C 
But what would I do  
F                      C 
If I didn't have you  
F                       C             G  
In this delicate game we play  
           Am             C 
Is this love and attraction  
F                  Em 
beautiful distraction  
F                      G             C 
Or are you my great escape

Am                           C 
Cause there's no easy reason  
F                        Em                    F              Em 
For the cards we fold, When our hands got cold  
Am                           C 
Cause I think it's just a feeling  
F                        C 
I've been down this road  
F                     Em 
Many times before  
F                  C                   G 
Don't let me in but don't lock the door  

Am                       C 
But what would I do  
F                      C 
If I didn't have you  
F                       C             G  
In this delicate game we play  
            Am             C

beautiful distraction  
F                      G             C      C7 
Or are you my great escape

Cause we just need to breath a little slower  
F                                           E7 
So we can learn to fall a little faster  
     Am        Am/G    D/F# 
But I just can't believe  
        F 
You're not the one for me  
       Fm 
How was I so Nave  

     Am                    C        F               C 
Now what should I do if I don't have you
