D A Bm G


[Verse 1]
D                          A                 Bm                   G
I probably looked at you a thousand times, I never really saw you
D                     A            Bm                          G
I had a picture of you in my mind I thought you could live up to
D                          D                     Bm                      G
You drew a line between us in the sand, the tide came and washed it away
D                            A                           Bm                  A             
But it felt amazing when you held my hand like you heard everything I wasn't brave enough 
       G
to say
  G            A              Bm               G
I put you on a pedestal, gave you so far to fall
  G                 A                 Bm                G
I came to see that knowing you wasn't knowing you at all


[Chorus]
D                A                                   Bm
So can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?
            G                   D
I wanna believe in your mystery
                         A                          Bm
'Cause you're the dream I had for so much of my life
               G
Who will I become if I give you up?
   Bm      A         G
So even if it's not true
Bm                  A                      D    A    Bm    G
I want another moment with my version of you


[Verse 2]
D                       A                        Bm                    G
I saw you floating in a crystal sky but you were always out of my reach
D                           A                 Bm                      G
How come I never stopped to wonder why it was okay you didn't need me?
D                        A                          Bm                      G
Somewhere inside of me I think I know we're not the people that we were then
D                               A                      Bm                     A            
I watched you leave but I can't let you go in spite of everything it doesn't feel like it's
          G
 the end
G             A               Bm              G
My paper thin arguments don't hold weight anymore
    G                   A                 Bm                    G
The paths we chose will never lead to the way things were before


[Chorus]
D                 A                                   Bm
But can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?
            G                   D
I wanna believe in your mystery
                         A                          Bm
'Cause you're the dream I had for so much of my life
               G
Who will I become if I give you up?
   Bm      A         G
So even if it's not true
Bm                  A
I want another moment with my version of


[Bridge]
Bm                   G
You are a figment of my imagination
D               A
You are a being of my own creation
Bm          G             D               A
I wish you could exist no other way than this


[Chorus]
D                A                                   Bm
So can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?

               G
Who will I become if I give you up?
D             A                                   Bm
