F           C   A#              C       F
Isn't it strange that you used to know me?
         C                    A#
All the highs and lows and in-betweens
                        C          F
and now you see me and just say "hey"
      C       A#             C      F
Isn't it weird that you've seen me naked?
           C                A#
We had conversations 'bout forever,
                    C         F
now it's 'bout the weather‚ okay

       C    A#
And I just can't believe
C               F                      C      A#   C
We went from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime
F    C     A#
Now just memories
C                  F                      C         A#
We've gone from strangers to lovers to strangers,  yeah

Chorus:
F               C       A#                         F
Acting like we never met, faking like we'd just forget
We were lovers and now there's nothing left but small talk
Had every inch of your skin, there's nowhere your hands haven't been
Ain't it funny, 'cause now there's nothing left but small talk

Isn't it wild that I know your weakness?
And everybody at the party thinks
That you're the best since sliced bread
And isn't it awkward I got a new somebody?
And honestly it'll probably be a while before we can just be friends

I just can't believe
We went from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime
Now just memories
We've gone from strangers to lovers to strangers
(Small talk)

Chorus

         C         A#           C         F
Blah-blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah-blah
         C           A#                        C         F
Blah-blah-blah-blah, now there's nothing left but small talk
         C         A#           C         F
Blah-blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah-blah
         C           A#                        C         F
Blah-blah-blah-blah, now there's nothing left but small talk

F
And I just can't believe
                C
We went from strangers to lovers to strangers

Chorus

Blah-blah-blah-blah
Blah-blah-blah-blah (Blah-blah-blah)
Blah-blah-blah-blah
Now there's nothing left but small talk
(Now there's nothing left)
Blah-blah-blah-blah
Blah-blah-blah-blah (Small talk)
Blah-blah-blah-blah
Now there's nothing left but small talk
