[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7
The whole town is talking 'bout how you've
Em7 Cm/D#
fallen in love
G Gmaj7
I read in the papers he's someone that
Em7
girls dream about
Cm/D# G Gmaj7
Some kind of ruler on top of a kingdom
Em7 Cm/D
I'm just a jester, I'll never be him
G/D
Last night you called to me
D7sus4
It almost killed me
[Chorus]
G
To hear you scream my name
Gmaj7
Your smile still kills the same
Cmaj7
I almost turned around
Cm
You chased me to the ground
G
You asked me how I've been
Gmaj7
But how do I begin
Cmaj7
To tell you I should've chased
Cm
You 'cross every single state?
G/D
Cm/D# N.C.
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7
I didn't need the reminder of things I've
G6 Cm6/G
done wrong
G Gmaj7
Of promises broken, fragility hidden in
G6 Cm6/G
song
G
Guess that we're soulmates in different
Gmaj7
lifetimes
C/G Cm6/G
G/D C#dim7
I know that you're happy
Cm6
But it just killed me
[Chorus]
G
To hear you scream my name
Gmaj7
A clear fucking x-ray
Cmaj7
Of if I'd stuck around
Cm
I swear to God I almost drowned
G
You asked me how I've been
Gmaj7
But how could I begin
Cmaj7
To tell you I should've chased you
Cm6
I should be who you're engaged to?
G/D
Cm/D#
A tug-of-war of leave and stay
Em
I give in, I abdicate
G6/F
Em
I'll see you at Heaven's gate
Cm/D# G
Cause it's too little, way too late
Gmaj9 Cmaj7
[Outro]
Cm G
I'll toast outside your wedding day
Gmaj9 Cmaj7
Cm G
Whisper vows I'll never say to you
