Intro (played throughout first verse)

well i知 the icing on the cake
i知 the secret ingrediant you池e missing
and i知 the sidewalk but i知 not complete
i知 the reason that baby you池e trippin on
decisions you didn稚 make
i知 the chance you chose not to take
and i知 the one you wish you were kissing
pray for clear skies tonight you better start wishing

G Em C D (strummed once each throughout second verse)

so you write the title
i値l write the chapters
we can read the story of love gone disaster
you write the moral
and i値l write the lesson
we can read of love that kept us guessing

G Em C Em C Em (strummed kinda like 'Mike' the rest of the song)

oh cause i知 in question you are in reason
soon this will change just like the seasons
my leaves will fall you値l turn to cold
the colors on the ground are so bright and so bold
and i値l make no motion and you値l hold me tightly
i値l look at you as you let me down lightly
the story always ends up like this
another opportunity that you're going to miss

G Em C D 

so you値l write the title
i値l write the chapters
we can read a story of a love gone disaster
you値l write the moral
and i値l write the lesson
we can read a love that kept us
guessing

G A7 C D

oh but i know you so well
oh when are you going to come around
oh but i know you so well
oh when are you going to come around

G Em C D

oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
you wanted to be like this
oh oh, see how it is
another opportunity that you're going to miss

End on a G


Tristan plays the intro with some variations such as hamering on the two and three. She also hammers on the bass notes of the chords while strumming throughout the song.
