G Am C
I stayed awake while worlds away to ask about you
G Am C
And all at once I jumped the gun, I 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 C
And while away, my freckle face should surely miss you
G Am C
I guess I've changed, it's not a phase, nothing like before
G Am C
You'll miss it thought but only 'cause you're sentimental
[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
[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 C
We saved a date, it's not too late to rearrange it
G Am C
We jumped the gun, you left to run, I stayed, conflicted
Am Em
And you still see how we could be
C
Is there something that I'm missing?
G Am C
'Cause all along I kinda knew that 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
[Outro]
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
