Chords

[Verse 1]
Dm  F
   The whole point of me recording right now

Dm  F
   Is to hold myself accountable for the feelings I still feel

Dm  F
    I thought it was over, thought I was moving forward

Dm  F
    But I guess that's why I have this, to show me what's real
[Verse 2]
Dm  F
   The perils of keepings your ex-wife's phone in your possession

Dm  F
    You're only really saying you've put the past to rest

Dm  F
    It is all too easy to feed your old obsession

Dm  F
    You wanna prove you're moved on, let's put it to the test
[Chorus]
      F          G                  F          G
So I turn on my speakers, plug them in to the jack

      F       G            N.C              Dm
But I wasn't prepared for how it'd feel to listen back

                         F
It was a painful little listen back

               Dm
I had a little listen back

                  G
My first and last listen back

Am           C  Em7
And I heard you cry

      Dm7     F           G          Dm
And I heard 3 minutes of unfiltered honesty

  Am  Em     Em     D       D F
I realized I still love you
[Verse 3]
Dm F
   Tonight I heard 3 distant voices

Dm F
   A trio of myself saying goodbye

Dm  F
   I turned over in bed, torn apart by past choices

Dm  F
   Time to check the record, the record wouldn't lie
[Chorus]
      F              G          F            G
So I slipped out of bed, made myself a small snack

       F         G             N.C         Dm
And I put on my headphones and had another listen back

                        F
It was a painful little listen back

               Dm
I had a little listen back

                 G
That was my last listen back

       G    C  Em7          Dm     F
And I heard us fight, but I was a coward

    G     Dm7                     Em7
And I ran away again, that wasn't right

       F                    G      D
And I can't afford to be a coward anymore
[Verse 4]
Dm  F
   Another part of adulting is admitting when you're wrong

Dm  F
   And doing the hard thing you need to do for yourself

Dm  F
   For 8 years I tried to tell myself stay strong

Dm  F
   As the guilty of what I'd done destroyed my mental health
[Verse 5]
Dm  F
   You all know what I'm holding and what I just completed

Dm  F
   Though hearing my own voice has never felt this strange

Dm  F
   You were right to leave the record, you were right to give me distance

Dm  F
   Something deep inside of me is ready now to change
[Chorus]
     F           G                 F              G
This time when I listened, I only made it through half

             F                   G            N.C      Dm
Because with 16 answers of mine missing, I can't just listen back

                   F
It's not enough to listen back

              G
I can't just listen back

  Am                 Bb       Dm
I have to do more than listen back

                   F
It's not enough to listen back

             G
I can't just listen back

  Am                 Bb        Dm  F
I have to do more than listen back
