Em                  C                      G                  D
I'm not supposed to be thinking 'bout you, lying here in this bed
    Em                       C
Too much has gone wrong and we should move on
  G                  D
That's what we both said
          Em                   C
There's a million reasons why we said goodbye
        G                            D
Why we couldn't try, couldn't fight for it anymore
Em                    C
Put your ring in the back of the dresser drawer
G                   D
And we closed that door


[Chorus]
               Em             C                        G
So why am I at 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light
D
Backsliding
 Em                  C                  G             D
Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right
             Em
Backsliding
    C           G      D             Em                     C
We say we won't, but then we do the same old thing fallin' right back in
          G                 D
Say it's gonna be the last time
      Em    C          G     D
Backsliding, I'm backsliding
      Em    C          G     D
Backsliding, I'm backsliding


[Verse 2]
      Em                        C            G              D
Well, I heard that you've been hangin' around with someone new
      Em                   C
Yeah, word gets around in such a small town
         G                        D
Bet you heard I'm seein' someone too
           Em                           C
There's a million reasons why we should be happy
      G                          D
Not lookin' back, livin' in the past anymore
Em                       C
But they ain't addin' up, I guess they ain't enough
G             D
'Cause here I am


[Chorus]
   Em             C                        G
At 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light
D
Backsliding
 Em                  C                  G             D
Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right
             Em
Backsliding
    C           G      D             Em                     C
We say we won't, but then we do the same old thing fallin' right back in
          G                 D
Say it's gonna be the last time
      Em    C          G     D
Backsliding, I'm backsliding
      Em    C          G     D
Backsliding, I'm backsliding


[Bridge]
     C                D             Em
And we keep pushing, pulling back, sliding
 C                  D             Em
Pushing, pulling, slipping back, sliding
       C                   D
I keep asking myself, keep asking myself
 Em
Why do I need you and nobody else?
              C                      D                 Em     D
And if we're not meant to be, then why do we keep backsliding?


[Chorus]
               Em             C                        G
So why am I at 2 A.M. pickin' up my phone and you're standin' in my porch light
D
Backsliding
 Em                  C                  G             D
Wearin' your old t-shirt in the mornin', it feels so right
             Em
Backsliding
    C           G          D                    Em                      C
We say we won't, oh, but then we do, yeah, the same old thing, fallin' right back in
          G                 D
Say it's gonna be the last time
     Em     C          G     D
Backsliding, I'm backsliding
     Em     C          G
Backsliding, I'm backsliding


[Outro]
  D                 Em
Why do we keep backsliding?
C                          G
I can't help it, I'm backsliding
D                    Em
I need you, I'm backsliding
  C                  G       D
Why do we keep backsliding?
     Em  C
Backsliding
      G  D
Backsliding
     Em   C
Backsliding
      G  D
Backsliding
