[intro]
C G Am7 F x2

[verse]
C                       
Keep tellin' myself that 
  G                    Am7 F
I should be over you
    C                    G
The seasons change, they fade away
       Am7                    F
'Cause that's what heartbreaks do
              C G             Am7 F
Baby, that's a lie, I ain't alright
     C G           Am7         F
Your goodbye still echoes in my mind

FEATURED: What you need to know as a Pianist.

[chorus]
          C              
I've been livin' my life, 
 G
floatin' like a river
Am7                     F
Lost in the light of the moon
              C          
Feels like a radio static 
 G
tryin' to remember
    Am7                        F
Us kissin' like beginners when I met you
           C      G
When I was young, too young to know
       Am7     F
It was dumb to let you go
     C                 G       
But time has a way of tellin'
              Am7     F
 your heart the truth
                          C
And it won't stop talkin' 'bout you
G                        Am7   F
Won't stop talkin' 'bout you

[verse 2]
C                G                    Am7   F
Every tick-tock sounds just like your name
    C                   G
The hands on the clock remind me that
       Am7           F
You're never holdin' mine again
      C G            Am7 F
Every day hurts the same

 sad eyes (Your sad eyes)
        G
And how hard they cried

         Em                F
And that summer rain that night
 I walked away
