Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
 
Verse 1:
Am                  G        C
 Strange this wilderness inside
F           C                 Dm
 The heart drifts from hot to cold
Am                        G     C
 You think it can't make up its mind

 But suddenly it's always known

 Suddenly it's always known

Maybe then I'd understand it all

Into your arms, surrender

 Lookin' at pictures on my phone
Am                           G        C
 And I said I didn't miss you  but I lied, hmm

 I told myself I'd let you go

 Told myself I'd let you go
