Intro
(Fingerpicked)
Verse 1
(Fingerpicked)
Guess It Ain't Gonna Be You And Me
Baby, What We Had Is Ashes Now
Striking Matches, Burning Memories
Of What Ain't Meant To Be, But Hell, It Haunts Me How
June Turned To August
What Happened To Honest?
Gave Me Everything But A Reason Why
You're Talkin' In Circles
But In Six Simple Words
You Let A Good Love Die
Chorus 1
(Full Acoustic Strumming)
Go On And Walk Out That Door
Like "I Love You" Never Came Off Your Lips
Turns Out Your Leaving Happened
Long Before Goodbye Was Said
Guess This Story That We've Been Writing Won't Get Written
What We Had Is Gone
Girl, So Long
Time To Get On To Forgettin'
Verse 2
(Fingerpicked)
Got Me Questioning Reality
It's Hard To Breathe Through The Smoke You Blew
Guess That I'm The Only Casualty
It's Plain To See What's Real To Me Ain't Real To You
Chorus 2
(Full Acoustic Strumming)
Go On And Walk Out That Door
Like "I Love You" Never Came Off Your Lips
Turns Out Your Leaving Happened
Long Before Goodbye Was Said
Guess This Story That We've Been Writing Won't Get Written
What We Had Is Gone
Girl, So Long
Time To Get On To Forgettin'
Bridge
(Building Dynamics)
To Forgetting Every Second, Every Minute, Every Sentence
'Cause I Know You Never Meant It When You Said
That You Needed Me Like Breathing
Then You Changed Just Like The Seasons
Got Me Thinking It Was Always In My Head
Chorus 3
(Full Driving Strumming)
Go On And Walk Out That Door
Like "I Love You" Never Came Off Your Lips
Turns Out Your Leaving Happened
Long Before Goodbye Was Said
Guess This Story We've Been Writing Is Finally Finished
What We Had Is Gone
Girl, So Long
Time To Get On To Forgettin'
Outro
(Fingerpicked Fade-Out)
Time To Get On To Forgettin'
