[Verse]
                                               A 
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
                               E        
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
             B                     A   
People would say they're the lucky ones
E                   B                        A  
■ I used to know my place was a spot next to you
                                        E   
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
                           B                     A 
'cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
B             C#m         
■ Oh a simple complication
E                 A       E       
Miscommunications lead to fall out
A                                  
So many things that I wish you knew
B                              E      
So many walls up I can't break through


[Chorus]
                 B                  A   
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
              E       
And we're not speaking
                 B   
And I'm dying to know
              A                        C#m7
Is it killing you like it's killing me Yeah
                     B  
I don't know what to say
                 E                      A   
Since a twist of fate when it all broke down
        C#m                 B                  A  
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

[Verse]
E                       
How'd we end up this way
       B         A                                        E   
See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy
                      B             A 
And you're doing your best to avoid me
E                         B                          A 
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
                                        E   
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
                  B                        A      
But you held your pride like you should've held me
B                        C#m   
Oh I'm scared to see the ending
E          A                  E      
Why are we pretending this is nothing
    A                                       
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
B                                B    E
I never heard silence quite this loud ■


[Chorus]
                 B                  A   
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
              A       
And we're not speaking
E                B   
And I'm dying to know
              A                        C#m7
Is it killing you like it's killing me Yeah
        C#m          B  
I don't know what to say
                 E                      A   
Since a twist of fate when it all broke down
        C#m7                B                  A  
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

[Verse]
                       E      
This is looking like a contest
   A                                
Of ■ who can act like they care less
C#m7                       B              A   
But I liked it better when you were on my side
E                            A  
■ The battle's in your hands now
    A                        
But I would lay my armor down
C#m7             B                A    
If you say you'd rather love than fight
A                                  
So many things that you wish I knew
        B                    B7     E   
But the story of us might be ending soon
                 B          E       A   
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
              E       
And we're not speaking


[Chorus]
                 B   
And I'm dying to know
              A                        C#m 
Is it killing you like it's killing me Yeah
                         B  
But I don't know what to say
                 E                      A   
Since a twist of fate when it all broke down
        C#m7                B                  A          
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now now now
E   B A           E       
And ■ ■ we're not speaking
                 B   
And I'm dying to know
              A                        C#m 
Is it killing you like it's killing me Yeah
                     B  
I don't know what to say
                 E                       A   
Since a twist of fate 'cause we're going down
        C#m                 B7                 A  
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
