Everything Hits Me At Once

Vaultboy


Tom: E

Uh, hey man, I heard you guys broke up

How ya doing?
         E
I moved on, couldn’t be better

Happy and light as a feather
         C#m
Yeah, yeah
We’re not together (okay)

And mostly, I never remember
                    F#m
It’s all in the past

When anyone asks, I tell ’em: It’s no big deal
                 B
Not everything lasts, it wasn’t that bad
                                 E
That’s probably how she feels (hmm)

I'm gonna forget her

There’s always some pain with the pleasure
         C#m
Yeah, yeah
Plus we ended on good terms

So it could work, I won’t ever say never
    F#m
It happened so fast, I'm not really mad
                          B
That we couldn’t make it work

Not everything lasts, it wasn’t that bad
                         A
Yeah, I didn’t get too hurt
                           E            B
But when I get back to my room and I shut the door
                       C#m
Everything hits me at once
    E                         A
I know that you’re not coming back to me
            C#m
It’s not enough
        E                    A
Just knowing this is how it has to be
               C#m                    E
Then when I'm laying alone in my bed
               A
You play like a broken record in my head

When will it stop?
C#m  E                        A
I know that you’re not coming back to me

And that’s just how it has to be
         E
Well, hello!, I sent the message

Haven’t seen you in a minute
                 C#m
I'm talking with you and everything’s changed now

But for some reason nothing is different
                       F#m
It’s you I have been missing and I wanna say it
                     Am
I know it’s a bad idea
                   B
Yeah, you let me go, I already know

But maybe I need to hear

         A
How you did it, what’s your secret?

Was it easy?
                              B
Was it harder than trying to make it work?

Was it awful? Did you hate it?
                             C#m
Did you barely had to put in any work?

Was it worth it?
                                               B
Would you do it again or would you not even consider it at all?

                       C#m
Everything hits me at once
    E                         A
I know that you’re not coming back to me
            C#m
It’s not enough
        E                    A
Just knowing this is how it has to be
               C#m                    E
Then when I'm laying alone in my bed
               A
You play like a broken record in my head

When will it stop?
C#m  E                        A
I know that you’re not coming back to me

And that’s just how it has to be

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

And that’s just how it has to be

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
