I do recall now the smell of the rain
Am7
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane

That July 9th, the beat of your heart

It jumps through your shirt

I can still feel your arms
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
        F
But now I'll go
                         C
Sit on the floor wearing your clothes
                      F
All that I know is I don't know
                        G
How to be something you miss
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                              C

                     Am7        Am
Never imagined we'd end like this
F                                G
Your name, forever the name on my lips
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C
I still remember the swing of your step
    Am
The life of the party, you're showing off again
    F
And I roll my eyes and then you'd pull me in
G                 G5          G
I'm not much for dancing but for you I did
        C
Because I love your handshake, meeting my father
   Am7
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
           F
How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something
         G
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
     F
And I'll go
                          C
Sit on the floor wearing your clothes
                      F
All that I know is I don't know
                         G
How to be something you miss
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                           C
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
                    Am       Am7
Never imagined we'd end like this
F                               G
Your name, forever the name on my lips

G
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C           Am7              F              G                     C
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
        Am       F              G                      C
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
     Am7                   F                   G                 F
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
                           G
Hope it's nice where you are
 
       F
And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
       C
And something reminds you you wish you had stayed
         F
You can plan for a change in the weather and time
    G
But I never planned on you changing your mind
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
     F
So I'll go
                          C
Sit on the floor wearing your clothes
                      F
All that I know is I don't know
                          G
How to be something you miss
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                          C
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
                     Am
Never imagined we'd end like this
F                              G
Your name, forever the name on my lips
 
 
[Outro]
 
               C
Just like our last kiss
Am
 
                     F     G
Forever the name on my lips
                C
Just like our last
