G           Cmaj7            Cmaj7 G
Your fingerprints in the dark
G              Cmaj7           Cmaj7   G
Your past and present tangled up in my arms
G           Cmaj7         Cmaj7 G
Our secrets sealed in our scars
G          Cmaj7        Cmaj7      G
Sharing a smoke on the steps of a bar
D                            Em          Cmaj7
I was convinced, I had your heart in my hands
D                              Em        Cmaj7
I was making love, but you had different plans

Chorus:
           G          Am        Em       Cmaj7
Now she's giving her loving to somebody new
     G          Am          Em          Cmaj7
I invented the game, but I lost like a fool
         G             Am        Em         Cmaj7
Now I’m too young for dying and too old to lose
       D                  Em Cmaj7
'Cause I was depending on you,    yeah
       D                  Em Cmaj7
'Cause I was depending on you

It’s time to harden my shells
The toughest part is I know you too well
Now I'm just a story you tell
Embroidering the truth with things you never felt
You steal the spirit right out of a man
Now you're working on him and you don't give a damn

Chorus

Now she’s giving my loving to somebody else
She threw me down like a book off the shelf
Now I’m too young for dying and too old to lose
'Cause I was depending on you
’Cause I was depending on you

Cmaj7
Depending on you
G Am      Em         Cmaj7
  Yeah, depending on you
   G         Am          Em       Cmaj7
Ayy, I was depending, relying on you
G        Am         Em         Cmaj7
I was depending, depending on you
G        Am         Em Cmaj7
I was depending on you
