[Verse]
N.C.                          A
The walls between, you and I

C                                G               F           G      A
Always pushing us apart, nothing left but scars, fight after fight

C                 G    F        G     A
The space between, our calm and rage

C                             G              F         G    D
Started growing shorter, disappearing slowly day after day
[Pre-Chorus]
D     Em                    F              D
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you

         Em             F
You were waiting for me too
N.C. And it makes me wonder [Chorus]
C
The older I get

G
Will I get over it

          D                    Em
It's been way too long for the times we missed

  F                                             C
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
G
Maybe I'll get over it

          D                    Em
It's been way too long for the times we missed

  F
I can't believe it still hurts like this
[Interlude] A C G F G [Verse 2] A
C                G
The time between

F             G      A
Those cutting words

C                           G             F       G            A
Built up our defenses never made no sense it just made me hurt

C              G
Do you believe

     F              G       A
That time heals all wounds

   C                               G                          F        G
It started getting better but it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you
[Pre-Chorus]
D     Em                    F              D
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you

         Em             F
You were waiting for me too
N.C. And it makes me wonder [Chorus]

          D                    Em

[Bridge] A
                       F
What was I waiting for

                           C
I should've taken less and given you more

            G
I should've weathered the storm

                      A
I need to say so bad

                           F
What were you waiting for

                         C            G
This could have been the best we ever had
[Chorus]
C
The older I get

G
Will I get over it

It's been way too long for the times we missed

  F                                             C
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
G
Maybe I'll get over it

          D                    Em
It's been way too long for the times we missed

  F                                       C
I can't believe it still hurts like this
[Outro]
           G
Hurts like this

                       F
I'm just getting older

                G
I'm not getting over you I'm trying to

  C                             G
I wish it didn't hurt like this

          D                    Em
It's been way too long for the times we missed

  F                      G
I can't believe it still hurts like this
