F#m D A E

[Verse]
           F#m              D
Why do you look at me like that.
                   A                          E
Your eyes saying things that they can't take back.
      F#m          D               A
Feels good. Feels right. It don't help.
       F#m                       D
Every night when the quiet gets loud,
                A                           E
I hate that I know what you're doing right now.
     F#m     D            A    E
Your arms around someone else.

[Pre-Chorus]
  D                             E
Every time I'm next to you, I swear that you can feel it too.
     D                          E*
How long can we do this to ourselves?

[Chorus]
                D         A
In a different place and time,
          E      F#m                    D      A              E
maybe in another life, I bet that baby you and I would have worked.
                      D        A
We'll never get the chance to try.
           E       F#m
And what makes it worse is
               D               E       A
You would’ve loved me, if you met me first.

[Verse]
              F#m                        D
I can't even count all the times I've thought
           A               E
About the line I'd never cross.
           F#m         D          A    E
But I've crossed that line in my head.

[Pre-Chorus]
          D                            E
I can't steal you from somebody else, just to have you to myself.
     D                                  E*
My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth.

[Chorus]
                D         A
In a different place and time,
           E     F#m                    D      A              E
maybe in another life, I bet that baby you and I would have worked.
                      D        A
We'll never get the chance to try.
           E       F#m
And what makes it worse is
               D               E       A
You would’ve loved me, if you met me first.

[Bridge]
 D
I'm not hanging on to hope.
 E                    A    D                            E*
If you do or if you don't, I don't ever wanna know for sure.

[Chorus]
                 D*       A*
In a different place and time,
            E*   F#m*                   D*     A*
maybe in another life, I bet that baby you and I would have worked.
                      D        A
We'll never get the chance to try.
           E       F#m
And what makes it worse is
               D               E       A
You would’ve loved me, if you met me first.
               D               E       A
You would’ve loved me, if you met me first.
                   D*              E*      A*
Oh, you would’ve loved me, if you met me first.
