Verse
E
Running from the suburbs
G#
Skipping heartbeats

Put my faith into a number

But you lied

An old dream still haunts me
E C#m
G# time machine
[Chorus]

Gold rings, but you never could commit

[Verse 2]
E G#
I heard you're living somewhere upstate with a new life
A G#m
Is that really what you had in mind?

But I don't wanna let go, and watch it all unfold

I couldn't if I even tried, and I tried
[Pre-chorus 2]

You left me stuck sixteen
E C#m
Without a time machine
[Chorus]
