Verse
A#
You
C
You’re out west in the Malibu sun
Throwing your hair back
Eb
Making those boys come running
A#
I guess we both got everything that we wanted
Except us
[Verse]
A#
And me
C
I left 18 and never looked back
But sometimes I do when it’s late at night
Eb
And I find your photograph
I just want closure
A#
But the world won’t give me that
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
I remember that night
C
When you drove away for the last time
We had tears in our eyes
Eb
We knew it’d never be
It’d never be
A#
What we thought was meant to be, yeah
[Chorus]
A#
I know we don’t speak
We may never again
C
But every time I see your car I pretend
A#
That we’re all alone
I’m in your front seat
Eb
Talking ‘bout how life would be after 18
A#
And here we are now
As strangers can be
C
Two different places
Both moved on happily
A#
You’ll never know
Cuz I’ll never say
Eb
But you were the greatest thing I gave away
A# C A# Eb
[Verse]
A#
Are you happy now?
C
I saw you’re with someone else
And he’s got charms and looks
Eb
I can’t say it doesn’t give me hell
But we’re better off
A#
I’ve told myself you’re not the one too many times
You’re just a dream I can’t wake from
[Pre-Chorus]
A# C
What are we doing here both acting like strangers?
Eb
I’ll never forget the night you took my hand and said nobody’s ever changed you like I did
A#
Before the tide came sweeping in
[Chorus]
A#
I know we don’t speak
We may never again
C
But every time I see your car I pretend
A#
That we’re all alone
I’m in your front seat
Eb
Talking ‘bout how life would be after 18
A#
And here we are now
As strangers can be
C
Two different places
Both moved on happily
A#
You’ll never know
Cuz I’ll never say
Eb
But you were the greatest thing I gave away
A# C A# Db
