  Em                     Cadd9
I swore I saw something different in your eyes,

         D                           Am     C
Like the weight of all your sins had finally died.

     Em                             Cadd9
You spoke like the past was just a lesson learned,

           D                   Am       C
Said you’d never be the one to watch it burn.
[Verse 2]
    Em                             Cadd9
We drove through the night with the windows down,

     D                Am        C
Your hand in mine, no ghosts in town.

     Em                         Cadd9
You swore you were done with the wreckage and lies,

       D                             Am          C
But a promise means nothing when it’s wrapped in disguise.
⸻ [Chorus]
     Em                       Cadd9
And I should’ve known when the wind changed,

          D                 Am           C
When the fire in your voice sounded the same.

     Em                     Cadd9
You had me fooled with your soft-spoken grace,

        D                               Am      C
But the truth found its way through your cold embrace.

          Em                   Cadd9
Yeah, you fooled me good-now I stand in the rain,

         D              Am        C
Watching you run back to your old ways.
⸻ [Verse 3]
      Em                     Cadd9
Now I hear your name and it don’t mean much,

      D                      Am       C
Just another old ghost that I used to trust.

          Em                   Cadd9
You’re a habit I quit, but the scars remain,

        D                Am          C
Like a song on repeat whispering my name.
⸻ [Chorus]
       Em                       Cadd9
And I should’ve known when the wind changed,

          D                   Am         C
When the fire in your voice sounded the same.

     Em                       Cadd9
You had me fooled with your soft-spoken grace,

          D                          Am         C
But the truth found its way through your cold embrace.

           Em                   Cadd9
Yeah, you fooled me good-now I stand in the rain,

          D               Am       C
Watching you run back to your old ways.
⸻ [Chorus 2]
         Em                       Cadd9
Yeah, I should’ve known when the wind changed,

          D                   Am         C
When the fire in your voice sounded the same.

     Em                            Cadd9
You swore you were done, but some things don’t fade,

        D                      Am            C
And I’m done chasing someone who won’t ever stay.
⸻ [Outro]
   Em                     Cadd9
I swore I saw something different in your eyes,

           D                       Am           C
Guess the weight of all your sins never really died.
