A Em G Dmaj7

[Verse 1]
              A
You said it's over now
    Em
Not tomorrow,
 not the next day,
         G    D  Dmaj7
 not any day
               A
You said you'd figured
              Em
out what can move me
         G
Darling I figured that
      D   Dmaj7
out too

[Verse 2]
                 A
Make no time for Tylenol,
 Salbutamol
Em
Fuck my life, you cared
           G
 when I was sick
           D   Dmaj7
No one ever gave a shit
             A
You said you gave the world,
 I took it all
    Em
You fought this war
            G
 once I had asked me
                      Dmaj7
"What am I doing this for?"
[Chorus]
                 Dmaj7
It should've been you
  Em  G  Gm
             Dmaj7
Well now it's you
 Em  G  Gm

[Verse 3]
               A
Never been the one
 for romance
      Em
Never thought that
I'd get married
      G
Never been the kind to
        Dmaj7
give a shared life
a second glance
A                Em
Selfish prosе, a lifestyle
                      G
 of a stained-glass window
            Dmaj7
Wondеr what colours and
shapes I'll throw
A                   Em
I look to the horizon,
                  G
and all I ever saw was
                      Dmaj7
a background for my phone

[Chorus]
                 Dmaj7  Em
It should've been you
A constant and the
 G                Gm
undiscovered you
                 Dmaj7
Well now it's you
       Em
What a perfect time
          G         Gm
 for realisation

[Verse 4]
             A
I'll wake up early
               Em
I'll watch the sunrise
  G
I never liked the rain
              Dmaj7
 but sunshine hasn't
worked its charms of late
A               Em
Call my mother, tell
her I love her
    G
You know I never had
            Dmaj7
the guts to say
               A
"I'll dream of summer,
               Em
 I'll dream of you and me
              G
In that Coyote, lying
             Dmaj7
 out in the shade"
             A
Just tell me one thing
               Em
When your heart finds
                       G
its place just take a step
back and smile
            Dmaj7
When you're sat in a
better place

[Outro]
A           Em
We could've kicked
        G
my ass together
            Dmaj7
We could've slapped
             A
 my face together
            Em
We could've stitched
         G
 my mind together
Dmaj7
If only I knew
         A
what to say
            Em
We could've kicked
       G
my ass together
            Dmaj7
We could've slapped
              A
 my face together
            Em
We could've stitched
        G
 my mind together
   Dmaj7
So this is how I lose you
