[Intro] Em Bm C G [Verse]
Em        Bm       C                  G  D
I want to go back, forget that it's over

Em         Bm     C                   G  D
Painted in black, when you left me alone

Em      Bm            C
I never knew, she was sleeping next door

                   G   D     Em         Bm            C
With the kid I grew up with, and I can't go back to her

G        D    
Anymore, no more
[Chorus]
Em             C            G                       D
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay

Em                  C                G               D    
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away

Em               C               G                    D
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks

                             Em Bm C G D
No, I can't lift the weight
[Verse]
Em        Bm         C                  G            D
Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's over

Em        Bm           C                 G   D
And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay

Em            Bm
You're inside my head,

C
In the middle of the night when I don't feel right

G             D         Em          Bm            C         G      D
I dream I can hold you, and I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Em             C            G                       D
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay

Em                  C                G               D    
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away

Em               C               G                    D
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks

                     Em    Bm      C                G    D
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
[Bridge]
Em                               Bm
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't life the weight

C                                G                D
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks

Em                               Bm             
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't life the weight

C                                   G             D
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks

Em                               Bm
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't life the weight

     C                             G            D
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes

      Em                         Bm                   C      G  D
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't lift the weight
[Chorus]
Em             C            G                       D
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay

Em                  C                G               D      
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away

Em               C               G                    D
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks

                     Em    C      G                D
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
[Chorus]
Em             C            G                       D
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay

Em                  C                G               D   
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away

Em               C              
And when you try to take me back

                            Em Bm C G D
Say someday you will change, but I don't wanna wait
