Dm Bb F G

[Verse 1]
      Dm                               Bb
That couch right there where we first kissed
       F                                             G
Can't sit there anymore without thinking 'bout your lips
        Dm                          Bb
And my hands running through your hair
    F
It haunts me without warning, I can still feel you there


[Pre-Chorus]
       Gm              Dm         Bb
Where the long nights fade into yesterdays
     F               Dm
Breaking us all the way down
 C               C           N.C
Ooh, well I'll just tell you now


[Chorus]
   Dm                        C
If I don't say "hello" just know
     Bb                             F    G
It's only 'cause I can't say "goodbye"
Dm                      C
If my voice begins to shake
  Bb                                F    Gm
Please don't make me look in your eyes
          Dm                           C     Bb
And if I make you laugh, don't ask me why I look away
                        F              C              Dm
I'll say it's 'cause I can't stand to see your smile fade
  C        Bb
Ooh and I don't want to believe
                                   Dm
Our future's only filled with memories

C Bb F G

[Verse 2]
   Dm                  Cm  Bb
I told you this is what I want
    F
But I keep going back and thinking maybe I was wrong
             Dm                     Cm   Bb
'Cause I miss the way that our hands fit
   F
So perfectly together, just like you said they did


[Pre-Chorus]
      G   Dm               Cm     Bb
When you held me close, oh it hurts 'cause I know
                      C       Dm
If I asked you to fall you would
  C               Bb          N.C.
Ooh but I don't know that I could


[Chorus]
   Dm
If I don't say "hello" just know
      Bb                           F
It's only 'cause I can't say "goodbye"
Dm
If my voice begins to shake
  Bb                               F
Please don't make me look in your eyes
          Dm                           Cm    Bb
And if I make you laugh, don't ask me why I look away
                                       C              Dm
I'll say it's 'cause I can't stand to see your smile fade
  C        Bb
Ooh and I don't want to believe
                                  Dm   Bb   F
Our future's only filled with memories
Dm  Bb    F
Memories, ooh


[Outro]
    Dm                          Bb
So I'll bite my tongue, let my feelings go numb
     F             C   Dm
And you can forget my face
 C       Bb
Ooh, whatever it takes
                               Dm Bb F  G
As long as your smile doesn't fade, mmm
