D
One-word replies dodgin' my eyes
A/C#                    Bm            A
Hug me goodbye but you don’t hold as tight
      G
What gives?
        D
Conversations are dry "Hey" with one "Y"
A/C#                    Bm             A
Eight hours later, you say your phone died,
       G
yeah, I bet

      A7
Yeah, you've been actin' differently
                               G
Ever since we bumped into your ex last week
Oh, what a night that was
               A7
Funny how you fight with me but you don’t
wanna fight for us
                     G
Thought you were in love with me but then
again, I saw the way you looked at him

Chorus:
   D
So go
       Bm             A       G
No, I won't hold you back anymore
(I won't hold you back anymore)
     Bm
Just go
         A            F#m     G
No, you don't have to lie anymore
(You don't have to lie anymore)
Ooh, yeah
       A7
And I know you can't deny
the way you feel no more
               G
Tellin' me we need to talk,
but baby, you can save your breath

Lockin' your phone
Switchin’ your code
Swear that it used to be one, two, three, four
And your fingers are cold whenever you hold my hand
Oh, and I saw the way you looked in his eyes
Tell me it’s nothin', I know that’s a lie, I know
Oh, oh, I know

Yeah, you've been actin' differently
Ever since we bumped into your ex last week
Oh, what a night that was
Funny how you fight with me but you
don't wanna fight for us
Thought you were in love with me but
then again, I saw the way you looked at him

Chorus
