[Intro]DAsus4/C#G[Verse 1]D
The way you turn to me in bed
Asus4/C#
and the way you said,
G
"Can I have my spot?"
D
Put your head against my chest,
Asus4/C#
asked me to rub your neck
G
Put on British bake show or
some other stupid
show we'd watched
D
My hand on your knee in the
Asus4/C#G
passenger seat, on the 101,
drivin' just aimlessly
D
The way you turned
to me and said,
Asus4/C#
"Goin' anywhere
G
with you's okay with me"
[Pre-Chorus]A
So much of us was perfect and
Bm
it's always what
Asus4/F#G
I think about first
A
How nice it could've been if we
BmAsus4/F#G
only lived where our love works

[Chorus]DAsus4/C#
Fossilize my heart
G
Tryna hold on to the good parts
DAsus4/C#
Memorize, you in my arms
G
Tryna hold on to the good parts
DAsus4/C#
Can we separate the way it
ended from the person?
G
Refuse to take to heart the
things we said when
we were hurting
DAsus4/C#G
I still think we mostly are,
the good parts
[Interlude]DAsus4/C#G[Verse 2]D
The way you'd make up silly
Asus4/C#
names for me, I hate it but
G
you call me all the time
D
The way you fell asleep beside
Asus4/C#
me in a hospital recliner,
G
on the evening
my appendix chose to die
D
In any kind of crisis,
Asus4/C#
it's impossible I wouldn't
G
run to you
