Dm
Now and then
                                   F
your name comes up in conversation with my friends
                                      C
I hate how much I feel it right there in my chest
                         G
I hate how much I feel it, yeah
      Dm
Like, how are you?

It seems like things are going really well for you
                                  C
I wish that I could say the same about me too
                                 G
I wish that I could say the same
                       Dm
And boy, you know I've tried to pray, I've bruised my knees
     F
I've tried to bring you back to me

You disappeared and took some of me with you, babe
                                      C
Like the way I used to laugh until my belly ached
                           G
Well, that's all gone away now, yeah
