 F
Cross-legged, sitting in your mum's kitchen
                                           Dm C A#
My word's missing, and I like the way you sing
A#                             F
And I like the way you think 'bout
the weather forecast
'Cause this summer won't last
                                             Dm C A#
Ripped photographs, whisper secrets to the wind
A#                     Dm C A#
This is a battle I won't win

Chorus:
F             A#        Dm
You'll go and I'll know
  C       A#                 Am          A#
I owe you all the love you showed me I deserved
                     C
The gold that I was worth
      F    C  Dm Am  A#
You built me up like architecture
 F    C      Dm    Am A#
Boy, you'll break my heart, I'll let ya
        F C   Dm Am    A#                   F
'Cause no one nowhere knows me better than you

Your bags are packed, my words are stacked
Towers of paperbacks with all that I won't say
The dreams we used to make
Now your train ticket takes my breath with it
But you're the biggest and the brightest
that this place has ever made
And I can't ask you stay

Chorus

You were borrowed, now I'm blue
Oh, nobody new could be better than you

Chorus:
Your bags are packed, my words are stacked
Towers of paperbacks with all that I won't say
The dreams we used to make
Now your train ticket takes my breath with it
But you're the biggest and the brightest
that this place has ever made
And I can't ask you stay

You built me up like architecture
Boy, you'll break my heart, I'll let ya
'Cause no one nowhere knows me better than you
