[Intro]
A  E

[Verse 1]
A
I'm half awake
    E
I slept right through the fall and
          A
now it's Valentine's Day
      E
And chocolate tastes like charcoal
A
It's time to take
       E
Your photos off the wall and
              A
change your name in my phone
       E
From 'Baby' to 'Don't drunk call'
F#m
I spent months on end
  E                      B
Typing up texts that I never sent

F#m
So much left unsaid
 E                       B
Felt like it was gonna choke me dead
F#m
Now most nights I don't think of you
C#m  B   F#m   A            B
But sometimes,..I gotta remind
 myself that

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

[Verse 2]
A
And it took a while

      E
But finally I feel like
        A
I can live with myself
    E
Now I don't cry at parties
A
But still for some reason
    E
I kinda want you to know
 how I'm feeling
   A
I tell myself I got good intentions
      E
But what's the best thing
that comes from mentioning
F#m
I spent months on end
 E                       B
Typing up texts that I never sent
F#m
So much left unsaid
  E                       B
Felt like it was gonna choke me dead
F#m
Now most nights I don't
think of you
C#m   B  F#m
But sometimes
A           B
I gotta remind myself that

Curly hair and emerald eyes

I miss feeling her hand in mine

Laughing at the Bachelorette

I miss pinning her to the bed

But there are some things
that I don't miss

Like struggling to coexist

Have you been good?

Have you been well?

Have you found peace within yourself?
