Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 1 half step down [ -1 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 1 to stay in the same key

Verse 1:
           Bb
I found my old phone today
                    F
In a box that I had hidden away
                    Ebadd9
Nostalgia tryin' to lead me astray
                        Bb    F
Maybe I'll unwrite some wrongs
              Bb
I charged the battery again
                       F
Combinations 'cause my passcode had changed
                    Ebadd9
Opened up and saw familiar names
                          Bb   F
Now I wonder where they've gone
                      Gm
Conversations with my dead friends

Chorus:
                     Ebadd9
Messages from all my exes
                            Bb
I kinda think that this was best left
                       F
In the past where it belongs
                       Gm
I feel an overwhelming sadness
                            Ebadd9
Of all the friends I do not have left
                         Bb
Seeing how my family has fractured
                      F
Growin' up and movin' on

Verse 2:
           Bb
I found my old phone today
                       F
Arguments that I tried to keep at bay
                              Ebadd9
The ones who loved me, I just pushed them away
                                      Bb F
Couldn't tell the difference from the leeches
               Bb
My closed hand still holds some mates
                         F
But if I'm open, it gets smaller day by day
                      Ebadd9
I can't tell if it is pleasure or pain
                         Bb F
Trying to keep within my remit
                      Gm
Conversations with my dead friends

Chorus:
                     Ebadd9
Messages from all my exes
                            Bb
I kinda think that this was best left
                       F
In the past where it belongs
                       Gm
I feel an overwhelming sadness
                            Ebadd9
Of all the friends I do not have left
                         Bb
Seeing how my family has fractured
                      F
Growin' up and movin' on
   Gm
Ooh

Bridge:
   Ebadd9
Ooh
   Bb
Ooh
   F
Ooh

Verse 3:
           Bb
I found my old phone today
                     F
So full of love, yet so full of hate
                           Ebadd9
I put it back inside there from whence it came
                              Bb  F
Nothing good will come from regretting
                      Gm
Conversations with my dead friends

Chorus:
                     Ebadd9
Messages from all my exes
                            Bb
I kinda think that this was best left
                             F
There in the past where it belongs
                       Gm
I feel an overwhelming sadness
                            Ebadd9
Of all the friends I do not have left
                         Bb
Seeing how my family has fractured
                      F
Growin' up and movin' on

Outro:
           Bb
I found my old phone today
