Tom: G

                 C    D          Em
Back here in the same town, same bar
        C             D       Em
But now I don't even know you
         C        D        Em 
It's like we look down, ignore
        C                 D      Em       
And now nothing's like it used to
                                 
                                 
[Pre-Chorus]
C         G        D                
Getting heavy to breathe in this room together
C         G        D                
It's so awkward, we can't seem to do it better
C         G          D              C
Can't we just fake a smile, put our shit to
    D
the side?
                                 
                                
[Chorus]
                 C  D    Em                
We don't need to be best friends
                 C   D  Em          
We don't need to hang again
                   C          Em    
But tell me why we have to be strangers?
         D         G               
'Cause I loved you once
                 C   D   Em          
We don't need to act the same
                           C    D  Em
But you act like you don't know my name
               C          Em        
Tell me why we have to be strangers?
         D         G               
'Cause I loved you once
                                 
                                 
[Verse 2]
C    D         Em                    
What would you say if I
C         D    Em                    
If I come over
C         D       Em                 
And stand face to face now
C              D   Em               
Now that we're older?
                                 
                                 
[Pre-Chorus]
C         G        D                
Getting heavy to breathe in this room together
C         G        D                
It's so awkward, we can't seem to do it better
C         G          D              C
Can't we just fake a smile, put our shit to
    D
the side?
                                 
                                 
[Chorus]
                 C  D    Em                
We don't need to be best friends
                 C   D  Em          
We don't need to hang again
                   C          Em    
But tell me why we have to be strangers?
         D         G               
'Cause I loved you once
                 C   D   Em          
We don't need to act the same
                           C    D  Em
But you act like you don't know my name
               C          Em        
Tell me why we have to be strangers?
         D         G               
'Cause I loved you once
                              
                                 
[Bridge]
               D         G        
Thinking after all this time
             D         Em           
I just wanna meet your eyes
         D        C               
So I can remember why
      C     D   Em                 
Why I loved you once
               D        G        
Thinking after all this time
                   D     Em       
We should leave it all behind
         D        C                
So I can remember why
      C     D   Em                   
Why I loved you once
                                 
                                 
[Chorus]
                  C  D    Em                
We don't need to be best friends
                 C   D  Em          
We don't need to hang again
                   C          Em    
Tell me why we have to be strangers?
         D         G               
'Cause I loved you once
