[Intro] G  D  G  D

[First Part]
                             G
I missed your twenty-first birthday
 G
I've been up at home
                   D
Almost tried to call you, don't know
 if I should
                    G
Hate to picture you half-drunk happy
G                       D
Hate to think you went out without 
me

                   G
I'm sorry if you blame me if I were 
you I would
                         D
Thought you'd see it coming, but you
 never could
                       G
I still haven't heard from your 
family
 G                       D
But you said your mom always loved 
me
 G
Sometimes I go blurry-eyed
 D
Small talk and you tell me that 
you're on fire
 G
Lights on and it's black and white, 
I couldn't stay forever

[Pre-Chorus]

           G
I see the look in your eye and I'm 
biting my tongue
               D
You'd be the love of my life when I 
was young
           G
When the night is over
                         D
Don't call me up I'm already under

[Chorus]

                     G
I get a little bit alone sometimes 
and I miss you again
             D
I'll be the love of your life inside
 your head
           G
When the night is over
 G                       D
Don't call me up I'm already under

[Second Part]

                 G
Audrey said she saw you out past 
twelve o'clock
                      D
Just because you're hurting doesn't 
mean I'm not
                   G
If it doesn't go away by the time I 
turn thirty
             D
I made a mistake and I'll tell you 
I'm sorry
 D
"Sorry"
 G
Sometimes I go blurry-eyed
 D
Small talk and you tell me that 
you're on fire
 G                                 
Lights on and it's black and white,
                  D
 I couldn't stay forever

[Pre-Chorus]

           G
I see the look in your eye and I'm 
biting my tongue
               D
You'd be the love of my love when I 
was young
           G
When the night is over
 G                       D
Don't call me up I'm already under

[Chorus]

                     G
I get a little bit alone sometimes 
and I miss you again
            D
I'd be the love of your life inside 
your head
           G
When the night is over
 G                       D
Don't call me up I'm already under
