D
I don't think that I like the state I'm in
                      E           F#m
I don't think that I wanted this feeling
But I'm gettin' so lost in the feeling, so low
D
And I'm cuttin' off all the parts of me
                        E           F#m
That remind me of the things that I used to be
                                     E
They remind me of the things that we used to see,
oh, oh-oh

D                      F#m
Your smooth touch gone
                         D
All my memories verlor'n
                   F#m
Fall deep inside me
            E
Can't let this be

Chorus:
         D
It's all over (It's all over)
It's all over
                        E          F#m
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
         D
It's all over
It's all over
                        E           F#m
I thought that you and me were the future
                                    E
I thought that you and me were the future

    D
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
                        E           F#m
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
    D
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
                        E           F#m
I thought that you and me were the future
                                    E
I thought that you and me were the future

I woke up on your side of the bed again
Couldn't tell if I was dead or just wavering
Felt my chest, there was somethin' still beatin'
slow
And I feel like I'm still livin' a fantasy
In my head, you're still lying there next to me
Comin' closer to the place what we used to
call home

Your smooth touch gone
All my memories verlor'n

[Chorus]
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future

Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future

E                                    F#m
And I picture all that would have been
D
My thoughts run wild with a dream of what
could have been
E
Lost yourself in a maze with the words of
                          F#m D
what should have been said
And I keep goin' back, I keep goin' back,
   C#m
I keep goin' back

Chorus:
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
It's all over
It's all over
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future

Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I thought that you and me were the future
I thought that you and me were the future
