Intro
[D] [D] [Bm] [A] [G]
Verse 1
[D] [A]
I could find your parfume in a crowd a mile away
[Bm] [Bm]
And I turn my head for strangers with your color in their eyes.
[D] [A]
The way your whole face changes in the second that you smile
[Bm] [A]
is the closest thing to holy that I felt in a long while.
[D] [A]
You used to look at me like I was worth the time you lose.
[Bm] [A]*
Now you're sitting right beside me and I've already lost you.
Chorus
[D] [A]
You're the first thing in my head before I open up my eyes
[D] [G]
You're in every empty room, in every song I've memorized.
[D] [A]
I could drive a thousand miles and never get away.
[D] [G]
'Cause you're not a place I left - you're every single day.
[D] [A]
And I know I should be over it, I know I should be done.
[D] [A] [G]
But I take you at your worst before I take another one.
[D] [A]
There will never be a version of my life that isn't you.
[D]* [A]* [G]* [D]
And I stop pretending that there's something I can do.
Verse 2
[D] [A]
I know the sound your voice makes when you're lieing to be kind.
[Bm] [Bm]
I hear it every single time and I pretend that I am blind.
[D] [A]
I know the songs you put on when you think that noone hears.
[Bm] [Bm]
And I know you've been somewehre else for weeks, maybe years.
[D] [A]
I know you're well enough to know you made your mind up long ago.
[Bm] [A]
And I'm still falling harder while I'm watching you let go.
Chorus
[D] [A]
You're the first thing in my head before I open up my eyes
[D] [G]
You're in every empty room, in every song I've memorized.
[D] [A]
I could drive a thousand miles and never get away.
[D] [G]
'Cause you're not a place I left - you're every single day.
[D] [A]
And I know I should be over it, I know I should be done.
[D] [A] [G]
But I take you at your worst before I take another one.
[D] [A]
There will never be a version of my life that isn't you.
[D]* [A]* [G]
And I stop pretending that there's something I can do.
Bridge
[D]* [A]*
I can hear how it sounds, I know how it must look.
[Bm]* [A]*
I should be angry, I should leave, I should have close the book.
[D] [A]
But every road I try to take just leads me back to you.
[Bm] [A]
And everybody says I'll heal, I don't know if that's true.
[D]* [A]*
I'm not asking you to stay, I gave that up a while ago.
[Bm]* [A]
I just don't know how to be a person who can let you go.
Chorus
[D]* [A]*
You're the first thing in my head before I open up my eyes
[D]* [G]
You're in every empty room, in every song I've memorized.
[D] [A]
I could drive a thousand miles and never get away.
[D] [G]
'Cause you're not a place I left - you're every single day.
[D] [A]
And I know I should be over it, I know I should be done.
[D] [A] [G]
But I take you at your worst before I take another one.
[D] [A]*
There will never be a version of my life that isn't you.
[D]* [A]* [G] [D]
And I stop pretending that there's something I can do.
