[Verse 1]
         Am           Em7
It was a fun, strange summer
         Dm                  F
I rolled on, didn't think of you
G         Am              Em7
  We lost touch with each other
     Dm                F    G
Fall came and I had to move

[Pre-chorus]
Dm                F
Moving backwards, hurt comes after
C                           G
Healing doesn't happen in a straight
line

[Chorus]
     Am
If I cry just a little
    Em7
And then laugh in the middle
     Dm7
If I hate you then I love you
       F              G
Then I change my mind
     Am
If I need just a little
     Em7
More time to deal with the fact
         Dm7
That you should have treated
me right
         F
Then I'm more than just
  G           Am
a little justified
      Em7        Dm7
Mm mm mm,  mm mm mm
    F                G           Am
I'm more than just a little justified

[Verse 2]
             Em7
To touch somebody
           Dm7                F
You know I tried to make that you
G              Am
  And when you lied and said,
             Em7
  you didn't want me
                 Dm7
Tell me what was I
           F   G
supposed to do?

[Pre-chorus]
Dm            F
Moving on was feeling strong
    C
But healing doesn't happen
     G
in a straight line
