     B
My therapist
                        F#/A#
Called you learning experience
                               G#m
180 an hour that's all that he mentions
                                 E
Missing you is getting really expensive

It's been ten months now
There really ain't too much I've figured out
There was just something 'bout being wanted
By someone who never knew what they wanted

      B
I've seen some other people who
are nothing like you
         E                        C#m
That's probably why it works and why it never could
     B
I'm holding on to nothing,
don't know how to let it go
   E                          F#
So even if it's out of my control

Chorus:
    B  B/D#
I try to
    E             B
Explain you to myself
        B/D#                E
But you never seem to sound right
    F#               B  B/D#
No matter how I try to
    E       F#    B
Explain you to myself

I'll hold you close
Tell me the memories that you miss the most
I loved you fully, but I'm growing up now
I loved you fully, but fully means more now

I've seen some other people who are nothing like you
That's probably why it works and why it never could
I'm holding on to nothing, don't know how to
let it go
So even if it's out of my control

Chorus:
I'd try to
Explain you to myself
But you never seem to sound right
No matter how I try to
Explain you to myself
You never seem to sound right
No matter how I try to
Explain you to myself
You never seem to sound right
No matter how I try to
Explain you to myself
You never seem to sound right
You never seem to sound right
You never seem to sound right
You never seem to sound right
