As recorded by James Bay (2024 release) [Intro] D G D G [Verse 1]
D
We used to jump the fence

D
Now we both think twice

D
We used to make up games

D
Now we just make nice

Bm                                        A
Lately I just can't tell you what I would give

G              D
Just to see you
[Verse 2]
D
I know that I've been distant and

D
Hard to trust

D
I know a place exists

D
That was made for us

Bm
I'm standing in the hallway nervous

A              G
Just to see you
[Chorus]
           D
Pull up at my place

D
Knock on my door

             G
I'll say I'm sorry

G
You'll say what for

                 Bm
For letting this happen

Bm
For letting you go

                  A
You're all that I had

G                        D
And now it's starting to show
[Verse 3]
D
I wanna say so much

D
Get to you so bad

D
I wanna claw my way

D
Back to what we had

Bm 
I'll swallow all the pride I paraded

A              G
Just to see you
[Chorus]
           D
Pull up at my place

D
Knock on my door

             G
I'll say I'm sorry

You'll say what for

For letting this happen

Bm
For letting you go

                  A
You're all that I had

                         G
And now it's starting to show

                     D
But I'm still in the hallway

D
Praying for time

               G
For an easy distraction

G
To drown out my mind

              Bm
Oh I let this happen

Bm
I let you go

                  A
You're all that I had

G                        D
And now it's starting to show
[Guitar Solo] D G D G G A [Bridge]
  Bm
I can't see what's coming ahead in the night

        A
But I'm willing to risk it

                         D
I'm willing to fight for every mistake

                 Em         G
I'll give you my hand, just promise to hold it wherever we land

  Bm
I can't see what's coming ahead in the night

        A
But I'm willing to risk it
[Chorus]
                  D
If you pull up at my place, knock on my door

              G
I'll say "I'm sorry", you'll say "What for?"

                 Bm
For letting this happen, for letting you go

                  A                            G
You're all that I had and now it's starting to show

                 D
I'm still in the hallway, praying for time

               G
For an easy distraction, to drown out my mind

               Bm
Oh, I let this happen, I let you go

                  A
You're all that I had
