Verse 1
                  Am
No need to act surprised
     G
I’ve seen it in your eyes
          Bm*     C        Em
I feel it when we lie here worlds apart
               Am
It’s easier to stay
     G
It’s easier to say
                  Bm*    C
That there’s gon' come a day
   Em
It won’t be this hard

Pre-Chorus
                   Am            G
Nah, we don’t even fight like we used to
         Bm*  C              Em
We don’t even care enough to cry no more
                    Am             G
It’s been a hundred nights since I knew you
            Bm*   C       Em
How long we gonna keep looking at that door?

Chorus
                   Am            G
If it was meant to be, we’d have been by now
            Bm*     C          Em
We wouldn’t have to keep tryna work things out
                   Am          G
Yeah baby, we’re a breeze when the lights go down
            Bm*   C         Em
It wouldn’t be so hard when we ain’t in the dark
                  Am            G
If we were in the stars, they’d have ligned right up
           Bm*      C                Em
Yeah baby, from the start we’ve been trying too much
           Bm*     Am              G
I know you want to think that it’s what we found
              Bm*      C             Em
But if it was meant to be, we’d have been by now
        Am  G   Bm* C  Em
Been by now__

Verse 2
                  Am
If I could go and find
    G
The moment or the night
              Bm*     C
My heart went cold as ice,
    Em
I’d light the match
                     Am
Don’t wanna draw the line
      G
Don’t wanna say goodbye
               Bm*     C
But we’re just wasting time, girl
     Em
That we don’t have

Chorus
                   Am            G
If it was meant to be, we’d have been by now
            Bm*     C          Em
We wouldn’t have to keep tryna work things out
                   Am          G
Yeah baby, we’re a breeze when the lights go down
            Bm*   C         Em
It wouldn’t be so hard when we ain’t in the dark
                  Am            G
If we were in the stars, they’d have ligned right up

It’s been a hundred nights since I knew you
            Bm*    C         Em
And I can’t spend another looking at that door

Chorus
                   Am            G
