Intro: B B7 E Em (x2)

Verse 1:
      B       B7      E    Em
I was waiting by the ocean
B          B7      E Em         B         B7   E Em
   Staring endlessly,   into this void of separation
   G            Dbm
Of lovers and a dream
      B          B7      E          Em
'Cause, we don't talk as deep as we used to
    B        B7                  E              Em
If I, wanted the weather I could just watch the news
  B            B7
I fear we're losing touch
            E              Em
But part of me still feels in love
      G                     Dbm
Guess somethings just can't stay

Chorus:
            E              Em
But what if you and I had passed us by?
      B                        B7
How different our lives would be?
                        E
Even if our stars don't end up aligning
         Em                    B
There's a silver lining between
B7                       E
   I'm just happy that I once held you close
Em
   Held you close to me
B   B7    E       Em
Held you close to me
   B        B7        E Em
I, Held you close to me

Verse 2:
B            B7                  E          Em
   It's hard to say that I'll be fine on my own
     B         B7                      E          Em
I remember how you taught me turn your heart to a home
    B            B7                       E          Em
If you were still around, you'd say that "I'm actin' strange"
      G                           Dbm
I just can't help but miss those days

Chorus:
            E              Em
So, what if you and I had passed us by?
      B                        B7
How different our lives would be?
                        E
Even if our stars don't end up aligning
         Em                    B
There's a silver lining between
B7                       E
   I'm just happy that I once held you close
Em
   Held you close to me

Bridge:
B   B7   E        Em
Held you close to me, I
B        B7       E Em
Held you close to me
B   B7   E        Em
Held you close to me, I
B        B7       E Em
Held you close to me, uh

Verse 3:
G                     Gbm
   And I hope you know that
            Fmaj7              Em
There were more than memories made (More than memories made)
G                                    Gbm              Fmaj7        Em
   'Cause all the things that you said, I still hold up in me today
                  G
If times could change (Times could change)
             Gbm
And take me back (Take me back)
                   Fmaj7                      Em
I don't think that I would change a single thing
          G                          Gbm
We parted ways but it's time well spent
            G                            Dbm
So love and peace in this life 'til the end

Chorus:
            E              Em
So, what if you and I had passed us by?
      B                        B7
How different our lives would be?
                        E
Even if our stars don't end up aligning
         Em
There's a silver lining
