As It Is

  G                   Am          
I stayed awake while worlds away 
  C
to ask about you
G                  Am            
And all at once I jumped the gun, I 
C
didn't mean to
      Am               Em
To count the days I used to hate

But now they're not so tough to 
life through
    G              Am         
And while away, my freckle face 
        C
should surely miss you

G                     Am         
I guess I've changed, it's not a 
       C
phase, nothing like before
G                          Am
You'll miss it thought but only 
                  C
'cause you're sentimental


[Chorus]
D                 Em            
Don't paint this gold like at the 
C
start
Am           Em           C
For it is as it is, as we are
D               Em             C
Don't take it back, don't tell me 
you can't
Continues after the ad
 Am           Em         C
For it is as it is, as we are


[Break]
    G         C
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
   Am       C
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm
  G       Em     C
Mmm-mmm, mmm, mmm)


[Verse 2]
  G              Am               
We saved a date, it's not too late
     C
 to rearrange it
  G                 Am            
We jumped the gun, you left to 
     C
run, I stayed, conflicted
      Am               Em
And you still see how we could be
 C
Is there something that I'm missing?
   G               Am             
'Cause all along I kinda knew that
  C
 we were fading


[Chorus]
       D          Em        C
Don't paint this gold like at the 
start
       Am        Em          C
For it is as it is, as we are
        D      Em          C
Don't take it back, don't tell me 
you can't
        Am       Em          C
For it is as it is, as we are


[Other]
        D      Em         C
For it is as it is, as we are
  G      Em      C
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
        D       Em        C
For it is as it is, as we aren't
