Once upon a time,
4  4  -4  5  -4  4  -4  5
I believe it was a Tuesday
 -4  4   -4    5   -4
When I caught your eye
4    4    -4 5   -4  4
We caught onto something,
6  5   4  -4  5   -4
I hold on to the night
 4     6   5  5  -4  -4
You looked me in the eye
 4   4   -3 -3”   5   -4
And told me you loved me
 -4  -4   4    -4  5
Were you just kidding?
  -4   4   -4   5  -4
'Cause it seems to me
 6     6   5   5  -4    -4
This thing is breaking down,
4   4  4  -4 5   -4
We almost never speak
5  4     4    -4 5   -4 4 -4
I don't feel welcome anymore
-4 -4  4    7   7      6     -5  5
Baby, what happened? Please tell me
  -4    4   6 -5  -5  5   5 -4
'Cause one second it was perfect
-4   4      5   5   5  -5   -4
Now you're halfway out the door
 5 -4   4   5   6    6
And I stare at the phone
4    4    5 6     -5
He still hasn't called
 5   -4   4   6   5   6
And then you feel so low,
 5   6     -4   -4 -4  5  -4 4
You can't feel nothin' at all
 4   4   -5   5   4   -4  -5  5
And you flashback to when he said,
4 5 -5   5   5 -4
Forever and always
-4  5 6
Oh, oh
6    6  6   -8   7   7    6  6
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom,
-8 -8  7   7    6
Everything is wrong
6    -8   7     7     6
It rains when you're here
 6  6   -8    -8    8     -6
And it rains when you're gone
   5  -5  5    4    -4  -5   5
'Cause I was there when you said
 4 4 -4  4   5 -4
Forever and always
 4  4 -4  5   -4
Was I out of line?
 6  6  6   -4   5    -4  4  -4  5
Did I say something way too honest
 -4   4  -4   5   -4
Made you run and hide
 4   4   -4    5 -4   4
Like a scared little boy?
6   5    4 -4  5   -4
I looked into your eyes,
   6    6   6   5   5 -4 -4  4
Thought I knew you for a minute
 4  -3  -3” 5   -4
Now I'm not so sure
5   -4    4   -4 5 -4
So here's to everything,
 6  5    5  -4  -4 4
Coming down to nothing
  4    4   -4 -4   4
Here's to silence that
 -4  5  -4  4   -4
Cuts me to the core
 -4   -4   4   7  6
Where is this going?
  -4    4   6  -5  5  5 -4
Thought I knew for a minute
-4  4  5    5 -5 -4
But I don't anymore
5 -4   4   5   6    6
And I stare at the phone
4    4    5 6     -5
He still hasn't called
 5   -4   4   6   5   6
And then you feel so low,
 5   6     -4   -4 -4  5  -4 4
You can't feel nothin' at all
 4   4   -5   5   4   -4  -5  5
And you flashback to when he said,
4 5 -5   5   5 -4
Forever and always

Oh, oh
6    6  6   -8   7   7    6  6
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom,
-8 -8  7   7    6
Everything is wrong
6    -8   7     7     6
It rains when you're here
 6  6   -8    -8    8     -6
And it rains when you're gone
   5  -5  5    4    -4  -5   5
'Cause I was there when you said
 4 4 -4  4   5 -4
Forever and always
 4  4 -3”   5   -4  4 -3”
You didn't mean it, baby,
-4  5     -4   5
 I don't think so
6   -8
Oh, oh

5    5   5   5 -4   5   5
Oh, back up, baby, back up,
 5   5  -4  5   5  6  5
Did you forget everything?
 -8  5   5 -4   5   5
Back up, baby, back up,
 5   5   6  5  6  7  -8
Did you forget everything?
  6   6   -8   7   7    6  6
