When We Were New

A    E                        C#m
I am selfish, I am holding my breath
A                    E
Biting my tongue and hedging boyish 
bets
A                         E      
I'm not speechless, just afraid 
               C#m
of what I could lose
A                         E
So I'm just staring at my shoes
A                        E       
I'm filling space on the floor 
           C#m
next to your bed

A                      E
Where I'll fall asleep grasping at 
your hand
A                           E    
I'm filled with words that always
                  C#m
 seem to come too soon
A                           E
And I'm still staring at my shoes

[Verse 2]
          E
Sometimes love can feel a lot like 
fear
A         E
Sometimes I can't find the words you
 need to hear
    A            E                
And if I have to choose, I'll 
          C#m
always choose you
A                E
Though I'm still staring at my shoes
