Verse
C D
I would have walked through fire
Em
To kiss your lips
C
Do you still think about it
D Em
Over your day
C
Still see your old apartment
D Em
Like a bad trip
C D Em
Wish I could forget all the places we've been
Pre-Chorus
C D Em
Hot and heavy with your goodbyes
C D Em
Though you know how to make a girl cry
C D Em
Was sleeping in a bed full of lies
C D Em
And now that I'm older, I can see why
C
You make me feel high
Em
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
G
You only seem tall
C
'Cause you stunted my growth, growth, growth
C Em
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
G
Now that I know
C
That wasn't love, that wasn't love
C
That was just hope
