verse 1 
   C       Em       Am      Dm     
Oh it may be, that we are neverending 
       Dm            G                 C        C 
but i wouldn't ever shine my shoes for you 
    C         Em       Am     Dm  
and you may think that we are done pretending 
        Dm          G                   C       C 
but the rain that I wrote came from the blue 

Am       Am             C            C  
drain my wine like that widow at the window 
     G             C 
that plays through my mind 
     G             C 
that i'm on another skyline 
      C     Em 
from you 
     Am     Dm 
from you 
     Dm     C 
from you 
     C  G  C 
from you  

verse 2 
   C       Em     Am       Dm               Dm       G             C       C 
Oh I look back on when we were two drifters drifting along so aimlessly 
   C        Em  
we lost our way 
              Am            Dm                    Dm              G              C     C 
forget those days cause i'm done pretending that there's still so much for us to see 

Am       Am             C            C 
drain my wine like that widow at the window 
     G             C 
that plays through my mind 
         G          C  
that I'm on another skyline 
      Am  
from you 
         Am                   C               C 
dress my best clothes just to lean against a lamp post 
    G         C 
and think of those days 
   G              C 
of time spent the wrong way 
      Dm 
with you 

Bridge 
    Dm                 G         G 
ink seeps in through my skin 
   Em         Em        Am      Am  
forgotten as I etch it in 
Dm                             G        G 
though I may feel better for a while 
     Em         Em            Am         Am   
even moods grow in and out of style 
Dm Dm          G       G   
  Let you get ahead 
C Em Am Dm  
Dm G C C 
Dm          Dm              G 
remember me fondly when i'm gone 
       G     Em         Em          Am     Am  
I've already been happy for far too long 
Dm                 Dm            G  
I know it's such a shame that we pretend 
   G             Em       Em              Am     Am 
My darling we're racing towards different ends 
Dm          Dm               G     G 
remember me fondly when i'm gone

oh i look back on when we were two drifters

drifting along so aimlessly 
   C       Em  
we lost our way 
             Am  
forget those days 
    Dm         
I'm done pretending 
      Dm              G              C 
that there's still so much for us to see
