E         F#                 G#m
I never thought that I would find out
       E      F#            G#m
We were just lovers in the dark
E             F#            G#m
You've known someone for a long time
        E             F#           G#m
But you never really know who they are

It feels like it was only last week
I was trippin' right into your heart
If we're not gonna do this honestly
Baby, won't you give me back what you took apart?

When I was on my knees in the darkness
Yeah, you'd be there to break my fall
But now, I'm lyin' here so helpless
But somehow, I just still want more

Chorus:
                 F#
You left me with nothing
        G#m                       E
Now I'm lyin' in the arms of a stranger
                      F#
But why do I think of you?
                  E
You left me with nothing
         G#m                        E
Now I'm lookin' in the eyes of a stranger
                    F#
Just tryna get over you
                             E
Yeah, you left me with nothing

I chase an old love just to feel loved
But it gave me nothin' that was real
No matter what I give, it's not enough
But I guess I'm holdin' onto you still

When I was on my knees in the darkness
Yeah, you'd be there to break my fall
But now, I'm lyin' here so helpless
But somehow, I just still want more

Chorus:
You left me with nothing
Now I'm lyin' in the arms of a stranger
But why do I think of you?
Yeah, you left me with nothing
Now I'm lookin' in the eyes of a stranger
Just tryna get over you
Yeah, you left me with nothing

E
Standin' out in the crowd
F#
Nobody can hear me now
E             B     F#
I'm tryna get over you

Standin' out in the crowd
If only you could see me now
I'm tryna get over you

Chorus:
You left me with nothing
And now I'm lyin' in the arms of a stranger
Why do I think of you?
You left me with nothing
And now I'm lookin' in the eyes of a stranger
Just tryna get over you
Yeah, you left me with nothing
You left me with nothing, yeah
You left me with nothing
And now I'm lookin' in the eyes of a stranger
Just tryna get over you
Yeah, you left me with nothing
You left me with nothing
