[INTRO]
Eb Eb/C
[VERSE]
Eb My life started when I went for jog Eb And spotted you in the park Eb Sitting with a dog Eb G Ab Eb So I stopped and asked, "can I pet your dog?" Eb And so there we were, me and this golden retriever, basking in the abundance of sun Austin provides. Eb And suddenly, you blurted out G Ab "This isn't my dog, actually G Ab It's my friend's dog, Sheila G Ab I'm taking care of her while he's away G Ab Eb She's on a lot of medication" Eb And I laughed, and you laughed Eb Saying you didn't wanna be found out when you asked me to coffee Eb That there was no dog G Ab Eb I said yes and you said, "I'm Jase. What's your name?" Eb And I heard the perfect opportunity Eb To be someone else entirely Eb Free from my history Eb For one single cup of coffee G Ab Eb I would be Natalie Eb Obviously that's not how it went down. Eb One cup of coffee turned into two bottles of wine, Eb three desserts and staying up talking until four in the morning. Eb Too late to backpedal. Too good not to keep going
[CHORUS]
Eb Eb/F Ab9 It felt like my life, but a better version Eb Eb/F Ab9 With you in my life, I was a better person Eb I heard music in the words you were saying Eb/F Melodies with no band playing Eb/G Ab9 Eb For the first time, I was in love Eb/F Ab9 Db Eb And I loved who I was with you
[VERSE]
Eb All the mundane shit I used to hate Eb Like recycling plastic and flossing every day Eb Making breakfast, paying bills Eb Watering the plants on our window sill G Ab Was invigorated with your sense of wonder Eb Pillow talk, afternoon walks Eb Holding hands in the parking lot of Home Depot Eb Dealing with inevitable misfortunes that were barely manageable G Ab Like that time we accidentally hit a squirrel with your car Eb That was an unfortunate anecdote Eb Do you know what I mean?
[CHORUS]
Eb Eb/F Ab9 It felt like my life, but a better version Eb Eb/F Ab9 With you in my life, I was a better person Eb I heard music in the words you were saying Eb/F Melodies with no band playing Eb/G Ab9 Eb For the first time, I was in love Eb/F Ab9 Db Eb And I loved who I was with you Eb My parents finally tracked me down Eb After years of jumping from town to town G Ab Eb They found you and me Eb Men in suits at our front door Eb Asking you about Judith Ford G Ab Eb And I knew instantly Fm Cm They say before you die Fm Cm Your whole life flashes before your very eyes Db Ab Well, it didn't the first time G Eb F But this time I heard each and every lie Ab I'd ever told you Bb G7 Cm I tried to cling to the life I'd made together with you Ab Bb So I did the only thing I knew how to G7 Cm Bb6sus2 I denied who I was because Eb Eb/F Ab9 I wanted to keep my life, but the better version Eb Eb/F Ab9 Natalie, your wife, she was a better person Eb I memorized your voice Eb/F And how you say goodbye Eb/G But you never said goodbye Ab9 You never said goodbye Eb Eb/F Ab9 Db And I held on to our life Eb And who I was with you Eb Who I was with you Eb Who I was with you
