Chord Before by NIKI

Verse 1 Bb You hid me in your dorm room, it was Halloweekend Gm I just flew across the globe, 22 hours just to see you Eb Just to barely fit on your twin-sized bed And talk about your cool new friend F Who I never met, who you dated as soon as I left Verse 2 Bb Carolina autumn, it had been a year since I saw ya Gm Since we ended it, had a year to grow into the girl you always wanted Eb Now we're holding hands As not quite friends, but not quite lovers Well, we'll just pretend F You say, "It's complicated to make amends" Well, is that the way that we're headеd, then? Pre-Chorus 1 Eb And you couldn't answer me Gm Though you could pull mе in while I brushed my teeth Bb And let your hands both freely speak F Like I wasn't ever gonna leave Chorus Eb Bb You were all I'd ever known Gm And now I'm supposed to love you from a distance F Like it's nothing, like it's instant Eb Bb And you say, "Let's just see where this goes" Cm And I don't know how or why you seem just fine Gm Ab 'Cause I'm havin' to grasp that you're somehow not mine anymore Gm Eb Bb It's so cruel how things are only almost like they were before Post Ah, ah, ah Cm Like they were before Ah, ah, ah Gm Like they were before Ah, ah, ah Eb Like they were before Ah, ah, ah Verse 3 Bb We walk downtown and it's charming You're alarmingly disarming Gm Yeah, we've got 48 hours left before I fly back to my death Eb While you stay just fine and feel alive South of the Mason-Dixon line F Where everyone closes shop at 9 Where you could somehow finally find Pre-Chorus 2 Eb What you were desperately looking for Gm Funny how you thought that was gonna be New York Bb With our chalkboard walls and slanted floors F Oh, we could've had that and so much more Gm Ask your new lover what it's like to be given Bb A real fighting chance before you wish her, "Good riddance" Eb F Did anything ever really count, or was I just a two-year practice round? Chorus Eb Bb You were all I'd ever known Gm And now I'm feeling stupid, you're forbidden F They say yeah we were something, too bad we were children Eb Bb Oh, I don't know where to go Cm And I don't know how or why you seem just fine Gm Ab 'Cause I'm lookin' at you and God knows you're not mine anymore Gm Eb Bb It's so cruel how things will never be the way they were before Outro Ah, ah, ah Cm Like they were before Ah, ah, ah Gm Eb It's almost just like how it was before Ah, ah, ah Bb But it's not anymore
