[G] [G] [Em] [Em] [C] [D]
[G]I still remember the look on your face,
[Em]Lit through the darkness at 1:58,
[C]The words that you whispered for just us to know.
[D]You told me you loved me so why did you go, [G]away? [Em]Away.


[C] [D]
[G]I do recall now the smell of the rain,
[Em]Fresh on the pavement. I ran off the plane.
[C]That July 9th, the beat of your heart.
It [D]jumps through your shirt. I can still feel your arms.


But now [C]I’ll go sit on the floor, wearing [G]your clothes.
All that I know is I [C]don’t know, how to be something you [D]miss.
I never thought we’d have a [G]last [Em]kiss.
Never imagined we’d [C]end like [Em] [D]this.
[C]Your name forever the name on my [D]lips.


[G]I do remember the swing in your step.
The [Em]life of the party, you’re showing off again.
And [C]I roll my eyes and then you pull me in.
I’m [D]not much for dancing, but for you I did.
Because [G]I love your handshake, meeting my father.
I [Em]love how you walk with your hands in your pockets.
How you [C]kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something.
There’s [D]not a day I don’t miss those rude interruptions.


And [C]I’ll go sit on the floor, wearing [G]your clothes.
All that I know is I [C]don’t know, how to be something you [D]miss.
I never thought we’d have a [G]last [Em]kiss.
Never imagined we’d [C]end like [Em] [D]this.
[C]Your name forever the name on my [D]lips.


[C]Oo-oo-ooh [D]
So [G]I’ll watch your life in [Em]pictures, like I used to watch you [C]sleep
And I’ll feel you [D]forget me, like I used to feel you [G]breathe
And I’ll keep up with our [Em]old friends, just to ask them how you [C]are.
Hope it’s nice where you [D]are.
And I [C]hope the sun shines and it’s a beautiful day
And [G]something reminds you, you wish you had stayed.
You can [C]plan for a change in the weather and time,
but [D]I never planned on you changing your mind.


So [C]I’ll go sit on the floor, wearing [G]your clothes.
All that I know is I [C]don’t know, how to be something you [D]miss.
I never thought we’d have a [G]last [Em]kiss.
Never imagined we’d [C]end like [Em] [D]this.
[C]Your name forever the name on my [D]lips, just like our [G]last kiss.
Forever the name on my [Em]lips, forever the name on my [C]lips. [D]
Just like our [G]last.
