LYRICS
OPENING: B D G B A G x2
[B]All of our l[A]ives turn to bl[G]ack
And there's [B]no tur[A]ning b[G]ack
But y[B]ou are the b[D]est thing that I've e[G]ver had
And [B]we, we were n[A]ot that [G]bad
N[B]o one knows the in[D]side jokes or f[G]un we had
And [B]we, we were n[A]ot that [G]bad
But y[B]ou are the b[D]est thing that I've e[G]ver had
And [B]we, we were n[A]ot that [G]bad
N[B]o one knows the in[D]side jokes or f[G]un we had
And [B]we, we were n[A]ot that [G]bad
You s[B]aid that you would [A]be there when I sl[G]eep
So w[B]hy are you n[A]ot next to m[G]e?[G]
Why are you not next to [B]me?[D] [G]
And w[B]e, we were n[A]ot that [G]bad
W[B]hy a[D]re y[G]ou not [B]next [A]to m[G]e?
Cause he[B]aven is the o[D]ne that I've ne[G]ver had
And w[B]e, we were n[A]ot that b[G]ad
[B]No one knows the in[D]side jokes or f[G]un we had
And [B]we, we were n[A]ot that b[G]ad
You s[B]aid that you would [A]be there when I dr[G]eam
So w[B]hy were you n[A]ot next to m[G]e?
