           Cm             D#maj7
When I was younger I was certain that
        Gm                 F
I'd be fine without a queen
       Cm              D#maj7
Just a king inside his castle,
        Gm              F
with an ocean in between
    Cm         D#maj7
Now all I do is sit and count
     A#                F/A       C7   D#maj7 D
the miles from you to me. Oh, Calamity...

We get older by the hour
Watch the changes from afar
Keep forgetting to remember
Where we've been is who we are
Now all I do is wonder
Why we ever set the scene
Oh, Calamity

Chorus:
              D#        A#        F
It's such a shame that we play strangers,
           D#          A#      F
No act to change what we've become
                   D#        A#
Damn, it's such a shame that we built
    D          Gm
a wreck out of me,
       C7             D#maj7 D
Oh, Calamity... Oh, Calamity...

I'll remember nights alone
Waking up to dial tones
Always found my greatest moments
In the sound of your hellos
Now I struggle to recall
The reasons you would come to leave
Oh, Calamity

Chorus

If I catch you on the corner
Will you even know it's me?
Will I look familiar to ya?
Do you offer me a seat?
Can we find a new beginning?
Do you turn the other cheek?
Oh, Calamity

Chorus:
It's such a shame that we play strangers
No act to change what we've become
Damn, it's such a shame that we play strangers
No act to change what we've become
Damn, it's such
a shame that we built a wreck out of me
Oh, Calamity
Oh, Calamity

Oh, Calamity, come back to me
