E                             G#m
I could sit and reminisce but what
good would that do?
F#m                           A
Dressed up in my memories, a lonely London youth
 E                             G#m
Piccadilly lightning flashing shades of neon blue
   F#m                                 A
A thousand Coke commercials couldn't shine
as bright as you

              E
But darling, you
            F#m
I know that lately I'm a lie
             A
I took some pills and I forgot
I'm missing you
              E
And darling, you
              F#m
I'm scared of how you messed me up
          A
I said I didn't give a fuck
But that ain't true

Chorus:
  E
You
  F#m
Yeah
              A
Oh, darling, how could I forget?
I'm missing you
 E
You
 F#m
Yeah
              A
Oh, darling, how could I forget?
I'm missing you

We're like ghost ships in the night,
together and alone
It's been a while since
I could hear you down the telephone
You could play my heartstrings without
even trying to
Spittin' Cockney venom like your
mother taught you to

But darling, you
I know that lately I'm a lie
I took some pills and I forgot
I'm missing you
But darling, you
I'm scared of how you messed me up
I said I didn't give a fuck
But that ain't true

Chorus

               E                        F#m
Darling, I pretend, but my fault in the end
                   A
'Cause I'm always turning all my lovers into friends
               E                         F#m
Maybe I'm too late but when you hear my name
                A
Do you still remember us together?

Chorus
