[Verse 1]
E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|---------0-----------0-------------| D|-------4---4-------4---4-----------| A|----5--------5---5-------5---------| D|--0------------0-------------------|
Last night I smoked a cigarette
E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|--------0-----------0--------------| D|------4---4-------4---4------------| A|----0-------0---0-------0----------| D|--5-----------2--------------------|
My dad would have been so upset
E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|---------0-----------0-------------| D|-------4---4-------4---4-----------| A|----5--------5---5-------5---------| D|--0------------0-------------------|
Then we got tattoos by the coast
E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|--------0-----------0--------------| D|------4---4-------4---4------------| A|----0-------0---0-------0----------| D|--5-----------2--------------------|
And I just stood there, like a ghost
[Pre-chorus]
E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|---------0-----------0-------------| D|-------4---4-------4---4-----------| A|----5--------5---5-------5---------| D|--0------------0-------------------|
Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body
E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|--------0-----------0--------------| D|------4---4-------4---4------------| A|----0-------0---0-------0----------| D|--5-----------2--------------------|
Maybe you don’t really want me there at your birthday party
E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|---------0-----------0-------------| D|-------4---4-------4---4-----------| A|----5--------5---5-------5---------| D|--0------------0-------------------|
I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
E|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|--------0-----------0--------------| D|------4---4-------4---4------------| A|----0-------0---0-------0----------| D|--5-----------2--------------------|
Every single word of the conversation we just had

I saw a girl crying on the train

Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain

She just got up and walked away

Bm A Em
Oh, it's like I'm looking down from the ceiling above,

Never in the moment, never giving enough,
Bm A Em
Let's go out and shout the words we never said,
G
I've got my mistakes on loop inside my head, inside my head
