Chords

[Verse 1]
E                             Amaj7
Young, standing on the edge of 21

  F#m                           E
Staring at the man that I've become sometimes

                   Amaj7   F#m
When I lose my control

      E                                       Amaj7
He's dumb, if you blink he'll blow up like a gun

  F#m                            E 
Jumping to conclusions just for fun

                            A
That guy, needs somebody to hold

                    E    Amaj7  F#m
He needs somebody he knows
[Pre-Chorus]
                       E  Amaj7 F#m
Where the hell did she go?

    Am
It kinda makes me feel like
[Chorus]
E
I wish I could change my name

A
I wish I could start again

F#m           B 
Fly me to a lonely place

              A             
Where you'll never see my face

        Am
So you never feel the pain of

E    A
What was

            F#m
When you're standing in the rain

B
Calling out my namе

A                    Am
Nothing's gonna change

     E
What was
[Verse 2]
E                                     Amaj7
Cold, driving through my neighborhood alone

 F#m                              E
Going past thе house but I'm not home this time

                   Amaj7
Haven't been in a while

                           E
I haven't been, 'cause I'm far away

                 A              
In another state miles away from us

        E
As you try to fan a dying flame

       A              Am
While ashes turn to dust
[Chorus]
E
I wish I could change my name

A
I wish I could start again

F#m           B 
Fly me to a lonely place

              A             
Where you'll never see my face

        Am
So you never feel the pain of

E    A
What was

            F#m
When you're standing in the rain
Calling out my namе
A
Nothing's gonna change

     E
What was
[Bridge]
E            E
Let me, start over

                              A
The moment that I left you in tears

                                    Am
It's a memory that will haunt me for years
E (play an octave higher) And years, and years, and years, and years
    A        E
Oh, it still does

    A        B   Am
Oh, it still does

     E
What was
[Outro]
                      A  E  C#m
You need somebody to hold

                      E
Where the hell did I go?
