Chord Gitar NIKI - Before

G
you hid me in your dorm room
it was halloweekend,i just flew
 Em
across the globe
twenty-two hours just to see you
        C
just to barely fit
on your twin sized bed
and talk about your cool new friend
      D
who i never met, who you dated
as soon as i left

G
carolina autumn
it had been a year since i saw you
         Em
since we ended it
had a year to grow into the girl
you always wanted
          C
now we're holding hands 
as not quite friends
but not quite lovers 
well, we'll just pretend
              D
you say, it's complicated
to make amends
well, is that the way
that we're hеaded then..?

C
 and you couldn't answer mе
                 Em
though you could pull me in
while i brushed my teeth
    G
and let your hands both freely speak
       D
like i wasn't ever gonna leave.. leave..

Reff :
 C                        G
 you.. were all i'd ever known..
                         Em
 and now i'm supposed to love you
 from a distance
           D
 like it's nothing, like it's instant

     C
 and you.. say,
                           G
 let's just see where this goes..
                      Am
 and i don't know how or why
 you seem just fine
           Em
 cause i'm having to grasp
                              F
 that you're somehow not mine anymore
 Em                C
 it's so cruel how things are only almost 
                  G
 like they were before..

                  Am
 like they were before..
                   Em
 like they were before..
                   C
 like they were before..

G
walk downtown and it's charming
you're alarmingly disarming
            Em
yeah, we've got forty-eight hours left
before i fly back to my death
          C
while you stay just fine and feel alive
south of the mason-dixon line
      D
where everyone closes shop at nine
where you could somehow finally find..

C
 what you were desperately looking for
  Em
funny how you thought that was
gonna be new york
         G
with our chalkboard walls
and slanted floors
D
oh, we could've had that
and so much more..

Em
ask your new lover 
what it's like to be given
  G
a real fighting chance before
you wish her, good riddance
    C
did anything ever really count
   D
or was i just a two-year practice round..

Reff :
 C                        G
 you.. were all i'd ever known..
                      Em
 and now i'm feeling stupid,
 you're forbidden
                 D
 they say, yeah, we were something,
 too bad we were children

 C                           G
 ooh.. i don't know where to go..
                      Am
 and i don't know how or why
 you seem just fine
           Em
 cause i'm looking at you
                               F
 and God knows you're not mine anymore
 Em                C
 it's so cruel how things will never be
                     G
 the way they were before..

                   Am
 like they were before..
             Em
 it's almost just like
              C
 how it was before..
                     G
 but it's not anymore..
