[Intro]
Am F C G

[Verse 1]
Am                     
So I heard that you've 
            F
been doin' fine
        C               
I'm not here to question 
          G
your goodbye
        Am            
It just seems useless 
                      F
tryin' to change your mind
         C           G
So never mind, never mind

[Pre-Chorus]
    F
You kept me on my toes
          Dm
Taught me everything I know
     Am
Wish I could let you go
           G               
You know I tried, you know 
  G
I tried

[Chorus]
    Am
But I still think about you
F                     C
Lose sleep about you
     G
From time to time
Am                      F
All the colors look the same
               C
Everything has changed
      G               Am  F  C
Since you were mine
      G
Since you were mine

[Verse 2]
Am                         
Same old story gets darker 
      F
every day
        C                
And the ending is just a 
         G
dead giveaway
          Am               
To all my fatal flaws have 
               F
treat me so unkind
      C           G
Never mind, never mind

[Pre-Chorus]
F
You kept me on my toes
          Dm
Taught me everything I know
     Am
Wish I could let you go
           G              
You know I tried, you know 
   G
I tried

    Am
But I still think about you
F                    C
Lose sleep about you
     G
From time to time
Am                  
There's no sunlight, 
      F
only rain
               C
Everything has changed

Since you were mine

Since you were mine

[Bridge]
     F
It's out of my control
  Dm
I need to let you go
     Am                 
I've wrestled with your 
                  G
ghost for far too long

[Chorus]
    Am                     F
But I still think about you

I lose sleep about you
     G
From time to time
Am                      F
All the colors look the same
               C
Everything has changed
      G              Am  F
Since you were mine
         C           G
So never mind, never mind
