A


[Verse 1]
    A
You know we'll never be just friends
            C#m
But now and then we make pretend
    F#m
You kiss me on the cheek
    Dm
And I just sink
      A
We'll meet up in a public place
         C#m
Keep our distance, save some face
  F#m
I say "It's been too long"
   Dm                  A   A7
You sip your drink.


[Chorus]
    D               E
The past and future press so hard
       A               F#m
And on either side I'm torn apart
    D                   A          E      E7
And now we're just ex-lovers hiding scars


[Verse 2]
    A
You know I've not the heart for this
        C#m
I'm too weak to flirt with bliss
    A               A7               D
And all this clumsy small talk seems so obscene
     A
'Cos everything I ever want
            C#m
It turns to dust before too long
    F#m
And I couldn't stand to see
       Dm      A    A7
You on the breeze


[Chorus]
    D               E
The past and future press so hard
       A               F#m
And on either side I'm torn apart
  D                   E
I told you "we're all good" but I lied;
A                 F#m
Awkward, guarded, cold and tongue-tied
    D                    A          E      E7
And now we're just ex-lovers hiding scars


[Bridge]
D            Dm              A          A7
Don't make me care, though I wanna care
D            Dm              A
Don't make me smile, no, you wouldn't dare
D            Dm                 F#m         A
Don't make me love, I've been in love before
Bm               C#m
Nothing good can come of this, I'm sure


[Chorus]
    D               E
The past and future press so hard
       A               F#m
And on either side I'm torn apart
  D                   E
I told you "we're all good" but I lied;
A                 F#m
Awkward, guarded, cold and tongue-tied
    D                      E
The world is spinning and I'm left dizzy
A                 F#m
All I want is for you to miss me
    D                    A          E      E7    A
And now we're just ex-lovers hiding scars
