[F#m] [D] [A] [F#m] [D] [A]
[F#m]I remember when you used to [D]be my every other [A]thought
But [F#m]now my calendar’s so full, it’s [D]easier to move [A]on
[F#m]Sometimes I swear I pass your [D]SUV on Sunset [A]Boulevard
[F#m]I don’t fuck with change, but lately [D]I’ve been flipping coins a [A]lot
[chorus]
[A]I struggle, I juggle, [A]I could just throw a line to you
[F#m]But I should let sleeping dogs [D]lie, ’cause I know better, baby
[A]I write it, erase it
[A]Repeat it, but what good will it [F#m]do to [E]reopen the [D]wound
So [F#m]I [D]take a deep [A]breath, and I [F#m]save [D]as [A]draft

Yeah, [F#m]I will always be here for you, [D]but I could no longer [A]stay
Still my [F#m]body goes in shock [D]every time I [A]hear your name
[chorus]
[A]I struggle, I juggle, [A]I could just throw a line to you
[F#m]But I should let sleeping dogs [D]lie, ’cause I know better, baby
[A]I write it, erase it
[A]Repeat it, but what good will it [F#m]do to [E]reopen the [D]wound
So [F#m]I [D]take a deep [A]breath, and I [F#m]save [D]as [A]draft
[Closing]
I’ve heard [E]you’ve done some changing
[F#m]I’ve been rearranging, [A]wish that I could know, but I just don’t know
[E]Never get that time back, [F#m]fear we’d fall in old [A]traps
Why can’t we just let go, [E]staring at a [F#m]fork in the fucking [A]road
[chorus]
[A]I struggle, I juggle, [A]I could just throw a line to you
[F#m]But I should let sleeping dogs [D]lie, ’cause I know better, baby
[A]I write it, erase it
[A]Repeat it, but what good will it [F#m]do to [E]reopen the [D]wound
So [F#m]I [D]take a deep [A]breath, and I [F#m]save [D]as [A]draft
