Tom: Em
G C (2x)
[Verse]
G D
You look older than I remember
G C
And I guess that some of that wear may be my fault
G C
And I can’t quite figure out which fight had been our last
D C
Or if that one even mattered much at all
C G
Disillusioned as snow angels who thought their wings were permanent
C
In seclusion you were faithful or at least hid your finer print
G
How dumb I was in hindsight to think that I could really know
C
Much of anything about anything though
[Chorus 1]
G
And does being in the Los Angeles bring me to mind?
C
And does wine and Billie Holiday still make you cry?
G
When you call is it to open up a door to better days?
C
Or is it simple as the way you wanna say
G
“Are you okay?”
C G
[Verse 2]
G
An empty cup can’t fill another
C
Why did that take us so long to figure out?
G
There were sides of you where I swore "I could love her"
C
But to love takes so much more than knowing how
G
And I’m still in that apartment where we were big kids playing house
C
Where we bought the cups and curtains to imitate settling down
G
And I kept some of our pictures and I wear my birthday watch
To remind me of the man I'm glad I'm not
[Chorus 2]
G D
Does your new boyfriend know how much I still mean to you?
C
Do you change some of the details for a more convenient truth?
C G Bm
Can he translate how you hold his hand into levels of your pain?
D
Does he know to ask despite what you may say?
C
Are you okay?
G C
[Bridge]
G
You’re a child on an airplane, you fear what’s out of your control
C
And you love New York 'cause it was somewhere else for you to go
G
And you dyed your hair so you could look your mirror in the eyes
C
And pretend she’s someone you don’t recognize
[Chorus 3]
G
So it’s time to lose my number and let the past be where we stay
B D C
When you’ve had too much to drink again someone else can hold your waist
D G D G
We were never quite as good as how your memory replays
C D
And I don’t owe you no answer when you say
G C
“Are you okay?”
G C
“Are you okay? ”
