Intro = G
G We took a weekend, drove to Provo C -Walk- G The snow was white and fluffy G But a weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us C And the grey sky was vast and real cryptic above me
--- D C C -Walk- G I wanted you, to love me like you used to do ---
G We took 2 weeks in the Bahamas C Went out dancing every night G Tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things C Most of the time I guess I felt Dalright
--- D C D C -Walk- G But I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
G But you cannot run,C And you cannot hide G From the wreck we've made of our house,C And the mess insDide G

--- D C D C -Walk- G And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do ---
G Went to New York City in September Took a Ctrain out of Manhattan, to the Grand Army stop Found that Gbench we'd sat together on a thousand years ago When I Cfelt such love for you I thought my Dheart was gonna pop
--- D C D C -Walk- G D G And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
