[Intro]
G  D

[Verse 1]
G
 I'm half awake
  D
I slept right through the fall
             G
And now it's Valentine's Day
    D
And chocolate tastes like charcoal
G
 It's time to take
     D
Your photos off the wall
                G
And change your name in my phone
      D
From "Baby" to "Don't Drunk Call",
yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I spent months on end
D                      A
Typing up texts that I never sent
Em
So much left unsaid
D                      A
Felt like it was gonna choke me dead
Em
Now most nights I don't think of you
N.C.          G
But sometimes,
               A
I gotta remind myself that

[Chorus]
G
I miss you but I don't miss us
       D
'Cause apart we're great
but together we suck
A
I'm sorry for the way it ended
    Em
But ending it, baby, not so much
G
'Causе me and you
weren't built to last
        D
Wе were two fast cars
on our way to crash
A
Into each other, and yeah it sucks
  Em
I still miss you but I don't miss us
N.C.
I still miss you but I don't miss us

[Verse 2]
G
And it took a while
    D                         G
But finally, I feel like I can
live with myself
D
Now I don't cry at parties
G
But still for some reason
  D
I kinda want you to know
how I'm feeling
  G
I tell myself I got good intentions
    N.C.
But what's the best thing
that comes from mentioning

Laughing at the Bachelorette

I miss pinning you to the bed

Have you found peace within yourself?
