Chords

[Intro] Bb F Eb [Verse 1]
  Bb            F
We rode it to a dead end

       Eb
Saying goodbye to a best friend

       Bb              F               Eb
Is the bad part of the right thing to do

Bb            F
I was hard to handle

       Eb
And we burned out like a birthday candle

    Bb              F              Eb
The pictures on the mantle aren't true
[Pre-Chorus]
                       Cm
Everybody knows that a breakup

                                  Dm
Is better when there’s someone to hate, but

                             Eb
You were my favourite way to stay up

                    F
And I'd say that still
[Chorus]
  Bb
I know the reasons

              Gm
Took a couple tries to see 'em

        F
But now everything is through

                 Eb
It’s you I wanna call, though

     Bb
When all I've known of

                    Gm
Is something that I should let go of

     F                                        Eb
I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'til it's all so hollow

            Gm    F    Bb      Eb
But you are one tough act to follow
[Verse 2]
Bb    F
I got busy

        Eb
And you forgot how to miss me

         Bb                  F            Eb
When I'm not much of who you grew up with

    Bb       F
Oh, you were distracted

        Eb
And the silence made a hat trick

       Bb               F            Eb
It's a long list with a lasting fix
[Pre-Chorus]
                       Cm
Everybody knows that a breakup

                                  Dm
Is better when there’s someone to hate, but

                             Eb
You were my favourite way to stay up

                    F
And I'd say that still
[Chorus]
  Bb
I know the reasons

              Gm
Took a couple tries to see 'em

        F
But now everything is through

                 Eb
It’s you I wanna call, though

     Bb
When all I've known of

                    Gm
Is something that I should let go of

     F                                        Eb
I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'til it's all so hollow

            Gm    F    Bb      Eb
But you are one tough act to follow
[Bridge]
      Eb                   Bb
And I know that we weren’t perfect

              Eb           Bb
So I hope you meet someone tomorrow

          Eb             Bb
And she's everything you wanted

               Bb        F      Eb
But I hope I'm one tough act to follow
[Chorus]
  Bb
I know the reasons

              Gm
Took a little time to believe 'em

        F
But now everything is through

                 Eb
It’s you I wanna call, though

     Bb
When all I've known of

                    Gm
Is something that I should let go of

     F                                        Eb
I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'til it's all so hollow

            Bb        F      Eb
But you are one tough act to follow

        Gm    F    Bb      Eb
You are one tough act to follow
