I can't write one song that's not about you
           Gbm  Em           Gbm   G

  I'm in Toronto and I got this view
      Em                    Em    Gbm
But I might as well be in a hotel room, yeah
G                              Gbm   Bm
  It doesn't matter 'cause I'm so consumed
         Em                    Em         Gbm
Spending all my nights reading texts from you

Pre-Chorus:
G               Gbm        Bm
Oh, I'm good at keeping my distance
  Em                   Em          Gbm
I know that you're the feeling I'm missing
  G             Gbm       Bm
You know that I hate to admit it
    G                Gbm          E7sus2
But everything means nothing if I can't have you

Verse 2:
G                      Gbm      Bm
  I'm so sorry that my timing's off
      Em                           Em    Gbm
But I can't move on if we're still gonna talk
G                       Gbm      Bm
  Is it wrong for me to not want half?
       Em                  Em        Gbm
I want all of you, all the strings attached

Pre-Chorus:
G               Gbm        Bm
Oh, I'm good at keeping my distance
  Em                   Em          Gbm
