G#
We still talk a little, just tryna be civil
Fm                      C#
Now we're not official, it's weird to talk again
G#
It's crazy how time flies, September to July
Fm                      C#
Remember the good times, a little differently

A#m                 D#                A#m
Oh, maybe it wasn't all we thought it was
                            D#
And the whole time we were looking through

Chorus:
G#           C#               Fm             D#
Rose tinted glasses, we were blinded by our love
 G#               C#           Fm               D#
Thinking we were happy, even when we're at our worst
     G#              C#        Fm            D#
But now I'm looking back, over everything we had
         G#           C#            Fm
Without rose tinted glasses, I can see why
     D#             G#
we weren't meant to be

We'd burry our problems, watch TV in silence
Say you're right even when, I didn't feel that way
Hid our flaws from our friends,
thought they couldn't see them
Swear I should'have listened when
they tried to help

Oh, maybe we weren't all that we thought we were
And the whole time we were looking through

Chorus:
Rose tinted glasses, we were blinded by our love
Thinking we were happy, even when we're at our worst
But now I'm looking back, over everything we had
Without rose tinted glasses,
I can see why we weren't meant to be

G#             C#
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Fm           D#
See why we weren't meant to be
G#             C#
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Fm           D#
See why we weren't

  G#                      C#
I can't help but thinking (I can't help thinking)
   Fm                D#
We both knew inside (Somewhere inside)
      G#                     C#
That something was missing (How'd we miss it?)
 Fm            D#
Maybe that's why

Chorus:
We wore rose tinted glasses,
said we were blinded by our love
Thinking we were happy,
even when we're at our worst
But now I'm looking back, over everything we had
Without rose tinted glasses,
I can see why we weren't meant to be

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
See why we weren't meant to be, yeah
Ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah
See why we weren't meant to be
