A 
 Heavy on my mind 
      E      Dbm 
Heavy on my heart 
A 
 Wanna make it clean 
             E       Dbm 
Don't wanna pick it apart 
       F#m          A 
Just hanging on the answer 
     Bm 
That we both never say 
 F#m            A 
Sitting in the last time 
   E 
I let you get away 



A                           E 
Oh forgetful you, forgetful me 
                          Bm 
Whatever happened to the simple us 
                          E 
Whatever happened to the way it was 
       A                               E 
Where everything we'd see is all we'd need 
                          Bm 
Whatever happened to the simple trust 
 D                       A      E      A  E  A E 
Whatever happened to the us we used to be

 Just a war of words

I don't wanna fight 
A 
 I wanna try and live  
         E    Dbm 
Not look over life 
      F#m             A 
Been keeping such a close eye 
    Bm 
On all the years between 
 F#m             A 
Careful what I might say 
        E 
Is the same thing that I mean 



A                           E 
Oh forgetful you, forgetful me 
                          Bm 
Whatever happened to the simple us 
                          E 
Whatever happened to the way it was 
       A                               E 
Where everything we'd see is all we'd need 
                          Bm 
Whatever happened to the simple trust 
 D                       A      E      A  E  A E 
Whatever happened to the us we used to be 


BREAK:

We can make it

We can make it 
Bm   A  E 
Ours 
A 
Simple words can 
E             Bm    A  E 
Untangle our hearts
