[Intro]
D#m G#m C# F#

[Verse 1]
                   D#m   
I heard you on the phone,
               G#m
 I had you in mind
                 C#       
I've been on the run since 
                        F#
you walked through the hallway
               D#m  
Heard it all before, 
               G#m
I don't even mind
           C#         
I'll do anything, pull
               F#
 me in and I'm far away

[Pre-Chorus]
             D#m  G#m
You're right there
But I won't say that I'm
 C#                  F#
 standin', I'm right here
                  D#m
When I see you, I panic
   G#m                
So scared of the way it
        C#
 might pan out

[Chorus]         
Well, I don't want to say 
               B
that this was hard, it was
C#                     
Tryin' not to stay, but 
           D#m
that just made it worse
                     B
I've been keepin' my distance
C#                    
I just wanna know what 
        D#m
you're thinkin' 
I just can't explain 
            B
the way it hurts
                 C#
Now that what we had is gone
                 D#m
I don't have the words
              G#7
I'm so bad at playin' along
          B       C#
Savin' my feelings
                     F#maj7
I've been keepin' my distance

[Verse 2]
                  D#m        
I talked about it last night, 
                G#m
thought I was fine
                     C#     
Helped you pack your things, 
                      F#
put your bags in the hallway
           D#m      
Maybе in a past life, 
            G#m
problems aside
                 C#       
Wе could make it home, I'd 
                      F#
hear you when you're callin'
