verse 1 
               Bm         G 
You're smoking cigarettes 
       Em           D 
In the back of your house 
            Bm     G 
I watch the liquor spill 
    Em             D 
And drip from your mouth 

                Bm       G 
You said you're holding on 
   Em       D 
To old memories 
                     G       C 
(They) keep you from moving on 
    D 
To all of your dreams 

 
Em                                           D 
But it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst 
                                          C 
When I feel you again I wanna' know if it hurts 
                        G          D          
But to tell you the truth, I'm not the person you knew 

Em                                           D 
But it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst 
                                          C 
When I feel you again I wanna' know if it hurts 
                        G          D         
But to tell you the truth, I'm not the person you knew 


Solo: Em C G Em C G 


verse 2 
C                   Bm 
Cut it off, cut it off 
               Em 
Take pieces of me 
C             D 
Castaway, ricochet 
                  Em 
To where you want to be 
                  C 
And when you feel complete 
                 D 
Give 'em back to me 

 
Em                                           D 
But it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst 
                                          C 
When I feel you again I wanna' know if it hurts 
                        G          D          
But to tell you the truth, I'm not the person you knew 

Em                                           D 
But it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst 
                                          C 
When I feel you again I wanna' know if it hurts 
                        G          D         
But to tell you the truth, I'm not the person you knew

I am sure 
            G              Em

              D 
Told you that we can't coexist 
     Em       Bm 
Friendly banter 
    Em        D 
Tonight's a blur 
         C 
"Are you good?" and "How ya been?"

We do this time and time again

                                          C 
When I feel you again I wanna' know if it hurts

But to tell you the truth, I'm not the person you knew 

Em                                           D 
But it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst 
                                          C 
When I feel you again I wanna' know if it hurts 
                        G          D         
But to tell you the truth, I'm not the person you knew
