F                                 C 
I'm at a payphone trying to call home 

Am                             G 
All of my change I spent on you 

F                                 C 
Where have the times gone 

Am                             G 
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two' 

F                                 C 
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember 

Am                              G 
The people we used to be 

F                                  C 
It's even harder to picture 

Am                               G 
That you're not here next to me 

F                                  C 
You say it's too late to make it 

Am                               G 
But is it too late to try' 

F                                   C 
And in our time that you wasted 

Am                                G 
All of our bridges burned down 

F                                    

I've wasted my nights 

C 
You turned out the lights 

Am                    G 
Now I'm paralyzed 

F                      C 
Still stuck in that time when we called it love 

Am                   G 
But even the sun sets in paradise 

*repeat with the same chord* 

I'm at a payphone trying to call home 
All of my change I spent on you 
Where have the times gone 
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two' 

If happy ever after did exist 
I would still be holding you like this 
All those fairytales are full of sh*t 
One more stupid love song I'll be sick 

You turned your back on tomorrow 
Cause you forgot yesterday 
I gave you my love to borrow 
But just gave it away 
You can't expect me to be fine 
I don't expect you to care 
I know I've said it before 
But all of our bridges burned down 

I've wasted my nights 
You turned out the lights 
Now I'm paralyzed 
Still stuck in that time when we called it love 
But even the sun sets in paradise 

I'm at a payphone trying to call home 
All of my change I spent on you 
Where have the times gone 
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two' 

If happy ever after did exist 
I would still be holding you like this 
All those fairytales are full of sh*t 
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
