D A Bm G


[Verse 1]
D                          A     
I probably looked at you a 
            Bm                   G
thousand times, I never really saw 
you
D                     A           
I had a picture of you in my mind 
 Bm                          G
I thought you could live up to
D                          D     
You drew a line between us in the
                Bm                 
 sand, the tide came and washed it 
     G
away
D                            A   
But it felt amazing when you held
                        Bm         
 my hand like you heard everything 
         A                    G
I wasn't brave enough to say
  G            A              Bm 
I put you on a pedestal, gave you
              G
 so far to fall
  G                 A        
I came to see that knowing you 
         Bm                G
wasn't knowing you at all


[Chorus]
D                A               
So can we go back to when I 
                    Bm
thought you were perfect?
            G                   D
I wanna believe in your mystery
                         A         
'Cause you're the dream I had for 
                 Bm
so much of my life
               G
Who will I become if I give you up?
   Bm      A         G
So even if it's not true
Bm                  A      
I want another moment with my 
                D    A    Bm    G
version of you

[Verse 2]
D                       A        
I saw you floating in a crystal 
                Bm               
sky but you were always out of my 
     G
reach
D                           A    
How come I never stopped to 
             Bm                  
wonder why it was okay you didn't 
    G
need me?
D                        A       
Somewhere inside of me I think I 
                   Bm            
know we're not the people that we 
          G
were then
D                               A
I watched you leave but I can't 
                      Bm           
let you go in spite of everything 
          A                      G
it doesn't feel like it's the end
G             A               Bm
My paper thin arguments don't 
              G
hold weight anymore
    G                   A         
The paths we chose will never lead
        Bm                    G
 to the way things were before


[Chorus]
D                 A              
But can we go back to when I 
                     Bm
thought you were perfect?
            G                   D
I wanna believe in your mystery
                         A         
'Cause you're the dream I had for 
                 Bm
so much of my life
               G

   Bm      A         G
So even if it's not true
Bm                  A
I want another moment with my 
version of


[Bridge]
Bm                   G
You are a figment of my imagination
D               A
You are a being of my own creation
Bm          G             D     
I wish you could exist no other 
          A
way than this


[Chorus]
D                A               
So can we go back to when I 
                    Bm
thought you were perfect?
            G                   D

so much of my life
               G
Who will I become if I give you up?
D             A                  
Can we go back to when I thought 
                 Bm
you were perfect?
            G                   D
I wanna believe in your mystery
                         A         
'Cause you're the dream I had for

so much of my life
