Intro (x2): G C

Verse:
G                     D
You look older than I remember
G                        C
And I guess that some of that wear may be my fault
      G                            C
And I can’t quite figure out which fight had been our last
                    D                 C
Or if that one even mattered much at all
C                    G
Disillusioned as snow angels who thought their wings were permanent
    C
In seclusion you were faithful or at least hid your finer print
     G
How dumb I was in hindsight to think that I could really know
                   C
Much of anything about anything though

Chorus 1:
          G
And does being in the Los Angeles bring me to mind?
                  C
And does wine and Billie Holiday still make you cry?
          G
When you call is it to open up a door to better days?
            C
Or is it simple as the way you wanna say
           G
“Are you okay?”

Interlude: C G

Verse 2:
     G
An empty cup can’t fill another
           C
Why did that take us so long to figure out?
           G
There were sides of you where I swore "I could love her"
                   C
But to love takes so much more than knowing how
         G
And I’m still in that apartment where we were big kids playing house
          C
Where we bought the cups and curtains to imitate settling down
      G
And I kept some of our pictures and I wear my birthday watch

To remind me of the man I'm glad I'm not

Chorus 2:
G                                        D
Does your new boyfriend know how much I still mean to you?
                                                              C
Do you change some of the details for a more convenient truth?
C                        G                                     Bm
Can he translate how you hold his hand into levels of your pain?
                       D
Does he know to ask despite what you may say?
   C
Are you okay?

Interlude: G C

Bridge:
          G
You’re a child on an airplane, you fear what’s out of your control
          C
And you love New York 'cause it was somewhere else for you to go
         G
And you dyed your hair so you could look your mirror in the eyes
                   C
And pretend she’s someone you don’t recognize

Chorus 3:
        G
So it’s time to lose my number and let the past be where we stay
B                           D            C
When you’ve had too much to drink again someone else can hold your waist
D       G                          D            G
We were never quite as good as how your memory replays
           C                       D
And I don’t owe you no answer when you say
G                C
“Are you okay?”
G                C
“Are you okay? ”
