E                  G#m
You were runnin' through me like water
F#
Now the feeling's leavin' me dry
E               G#m
These days, we couldn't be farther
F#                                   E
So how’s it feel to be on the other side?

        G#m
So many wasted (Wasted)
F#
Nights with (Nights with) you (You)

E            G#m
I still can taste it (Taste it)
   F#
I hate it, wish I could take it back 'cause

Chorus:
E              G#m                   F#
We used to be close, but people can Go
                                    E
From people you know to people you don't
                    G#m                F#
And what hurts the most is people can Go
                 C#m                E
From people you know to people you don't
              G#m                    F#
We used to be close, but people can Go
                                    E
From people you know to people you don't
                   G#m                F#
And what hurts the most is people can Go
                C#m                 E
From people you know to people you don't

When it was good, we were on fire
Now I'm breathin' ashes and dust
I always wanna get higher
I never know when enough is enough

So many wasted (Wasted)
Nights with (Nights with) you (You)
I still can taste it (Taste it)
I hate it, wish I could take it back 'cause
