Now That We Don’t Talk

[Intro] C  F

C
  You went to a party

I heard from everybody
F
  You part the crowd like the Red Sea

Don't even get me started
C
  Did you get anxious though

On the way home?
F
  I guess I'll never, ever know
                    C   F
Now that we don't talk

C
  You grew your hair long

You got new icons
F
  And from the outside

It looks like you're tryin' lives on
C
  I miss the old ways

You didn't have to change
F
  But I guess I don't have a say
                   Am
Now that we don't talk

Am
   I call my mom, she said that it was for the best
F
  Remind myself the more I gave, you'd want me less
C
  I cannot be your friend
                               G
So I pay the price of what I lost

And what it cost
                   C
Now that we don't talk

C
  What do you tell your friends we
F
  Shared dinners, long weekends with
C
  Truth is I can't pretend it's
F
  Platonic, it's just ended

Am
   So I call my mom, she said to

get it off my chest
F
  Remind myself the way you faded 'til I left
C
  I cannot be your friend
                              G
So I pay the price of what I lost

And what it cost
                   C
Now that we don't talk

( F  Am  F )

              C
And did you think I didn't see you?

There were flashing lights
     C
At least I had the decency
                           F
To keep my nights out of sight

Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
          F
And my whispered sighs

Oh, Lord, I think about
   Am
Jumping off of very tall somethings
                        F
Just to see you come running
             F
And say the one thing I've been wanting
       C
But no

C
  Let's fast forward to three hundred

awkward blind dates later
F
  If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that

you'll probably date her
Am
  You dream of my mouth before it

called you a lying traitor
F
  You search in every model's bed for

something greater

       C
Baby, was it over
          C
When she laid down on your couch?
 F
Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?
Am
  "Come here, " I whispered in your ear
         Am
In your dream as you passed out, baby
 F
Was it over then?
F                  C
 And is it over now?

   G
Ah-ha
   Am  F
Ah-ha

C
 Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
                           G
20 Stitches in a hospital room
                                      G
When you started crying, baby, I did too
                                           Am
But when the sun came up, I was looking at you
                                    Am
Remember when we couldn't take the heat?
                                         F
I walked out, I said, "I'm setting you free"
                                         F
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
                                           C
When the sun came up, you were looking at me
                    G
You were looking at me, oh
                    Am
You were looking at me
     F
I remember
     F
I remember
       C
But now

C
 I don't have to pretend I like acid rock
F
 Or that I'd like to be on a mega yacht
C
 With important men who think important thoughts
F
 Guess maybe I am better off
                   Am
Now that we don't talk
Am
  And the only way back to my dignity
F
 Was to turn into a shrouded mystery
C
 Just like I had been when you were chasing me
G
 Guess this is how it was to be
                   C
Now that we don't talk
                   F
Now that we don't talk
                   Am
Now that we don't talk
                   F
Now that we don't talk

C
Think I didn't see you?

There were flashing lights
    C
At least I had the decency
                          F
To keep my nights out of sight

Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
        F
And my whispered sighs

Oh, Lord, I think about
 Am
Jumping off of very tall somethings
                      F
Just to see you come running

And say the one thing I've been wanting
      C
But no

C
 Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet?
                         F
Are we out of the woods?

Let's fast forward to three hundred
                      C
takeout coffees later

I don't have to pretend I like acid rock
             F
And say the one thing, that you wanted
      C
But no
