  			Intro: A 

Verse: 1 
A                                 F#m 
I've been wasting time since the spring 
                        D 
Waiting on my phone to ring 
             E/G#         A 
You say that you miss me too 
                      F#m 
Tracing my apartment floor 
                        D 
Pacing and checking my door 
              E/G#        A 
I'm sure that you miss me too 

 
D                           A 
How could you leave knowing I'd have to keep 
          F#m                          E 
All these pictures and clothes in our drawer 
D                         A 
I can't believe that you left me for me 
       F#m                      E 
On the couch waging living room war 
                D    E 
I'm down on my knees 
                  A 
Oh how could you leave 

Verse: 2 
          A              F#m 
These days I spend home alone 
                      D 
And replay all of our songs 
            E/G#        A 
I'm praying you miss me too 
                            F#m 
Breezeways where we walked alone 
                         D 
Teach me you still ain't home 
             E/G#        A 
I'm doubting you miss me too 


D                           A 
How could you leave knowing I'd have to keep 
          F#m                          E 
All these pictures and clothes in our drawer 
D                         A 
I can't believe that you left me for me 
       F#m                      E 
On the couch waging living room war 
                D    E 
I'm down on my knees 
                  D    A F#m E 
Oh how could you leave 

Instrumental:

D                           A 
How could you leave knowing I'd have to keep 
          F#m                          E 
All these pictures and clothes in our drawer 
D                         A 
I can't believe that you left me for me 
       F#m                      E 
On the couch waging living room war 
                D    E
