E                     B/D#
Summer couldn't move quick enough
 C#m                             A
Not the kind of chilling I was thinking of
E                  B/D#
Getting used to a space in love
         C#m              A
And you noticed it feels hopeless
     E                      B/D#
We're playing fiction in a parking lot
  C#m                            A
Anything could mean more than an after thought
E                         B/D#
You crack a smile saying thanks a lot
             C#m
We're still hopeless

       A          F#m
We're noticing if all that we've known is the
  A
chase all along
       F#m                 A                  B
Then why we've hung up in between right and wrong

Chorus:
       A       E
Saying oh, we made it
B        C#m
Nobody knows we're empty
 A      E
So, we fake it
B                   C#m
Right through that Monday smiling
A              E
We're still reminded
 B
Can't be divided
C#m               A
That's when you know
    E
We made it
B             C#m
Just keep me singing, alright

I’m missing what was in front of me
Want the point to come across subtly
Never what it was supposed to be
And you noticed, it feels hopeless
We’re waiting on a way to get through the night
Just know I always saw you in a golden light
Never caring what’s wrong or right
If I’m being honest

Chorus:
Saying oh, we made it
Nobody knows we’re empty, so we fake it
Right through to that Monday smile
We’re still reminded
Can’t be divided
That’s when you know
We made it
Just keep me saying alright

   Asus2
If all that we've known is between right and wrong
      Bsus4
I'll be there in the space where
I've been all along
 Asus2
More than the words that we say in the end
       B
We've been there, we brace so there's
something to miss

Chorus:
Saying
Oh, we made it
Nobody knows we're empty
So, we fake it

Oh, we made it
Nobody knows we’re empty, so we fake it
Right through to that Monday smile
We’re still reminded
Can’t be divided
That’s when you know
We made it
Just keep me saying alright
