                     D               G
It's like we paid a visit to a past life
      A                               D
While I was still yours and you were mine
     G                     A
And nothin' had changed at all
   D                                    G
I couldn't get it up for you the first time
      Bm       A                      D
Like my body knew it wasn't meant in you
    G                    A
Or maybe it was just the Adderall

Chorus:
    G D Bm
Oh, I
             A
I shouldn't be here
    G D            A
Oh, I   shouldn't be here
    G D Bm
Oh, I
            A
I shouldn't be here
    G D           A
Oh, I  shouldn't be here

Everything's a metaphor
When you're up North
On drugs in the river with your ex girl
We didn't think it through at all
Swimming upstream, just to let
the tide pull us back, through it all
Back, through it all

Chorus
