Tom: Em
Em D C G X2
[Verse 1]
Em D C G
No need to say it, but I'm thinking 'bout you
Em D C G
Hate that I hate it, still
can't
hide from the
truth
Em D
You wanted more, couldn't give you
my all
C G
Got lost in the woods, but you're close to my heart
Em D C G
No need to say it, but I'm thinking 'bout you
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D C G
Trading places, all my friends say
Em D C G
"Time to let it go", but they don't know when I'm alone
Am G D Em
It's just empty spaces where you used to live
Am G D Em
You would ask me to stay home and sleep until late
[Chorus]
C G
And every time that I said, "not today"
Am Em
You made me promise that I'd never change
C G Am Em
Now we're trading places, 'cause you're walking away
N.C. N.C. N.C N.C.
Trading places and I've got the pen
[Interlude]
Am G D Em X2
[Verse 2]
Em D C G
Sudden calm in the violence, certain thrill in the blues
Em D C G
We've rewired our heartstrings, 'cause we're too scared to lose
Em D
We thought the loving would never decay
C G
Even when you knew that I couldn't stay and now we are
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D C G
Trading places, all my friends say
Em D C G
"Time to let it go", but they don't know when I'm alone
Am G D Em
It's just empty spaces where you used to live
Am G D Em
You would ask me to stay home and sleep until late
[Chorus]
C G
And every time that I said, "not today"
Am Em
You made me promise that I'd never change
C G Am Em
Now we're trading places, 'cause you're walking away
N.C. N.C. N.C N.C.
Trading places and I've got the pen
[Interlude]
Am G D Em X2
[Chorus]
C G
And every time that I said, "not today"
Am Em
You made me promise that I'd never change
C G Am Em
Now we're trading places, 'cause you're walking away
[Bridge]
C Am Em D
Trading places, we're not the same, so I'm walking away
C Am Em D
Trading places, started the fire, got caught in the flame
C Am Em D
Trading places and you turned the page, now I'm floating away
C Am Em D N.C.
Trading places and now I've got the pen
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D Em
Empty spaces where you used to live
C G D Em
You would ask me to stay home and sleep until late
[End-Chorus]
C G
And every time that I said, "not today"
Am Em
You made me promise that I'd never change
C G Am Em
Now we're trading places, 'cause you're walking away
C G Am Em
Trading places and I've got the pen
[Outro]
C G D Em
C G Am Em
