[verse]
E                G#m
 I was ready for you to come and
             C#m
shake up my world
                         B
I was sure that it would be us
                           E
but you had different plans
                     G#m
You weren't ready to settle down
                                  C#m
'cause you hadn't tried out every girl
                          B
You were careless when it came to me

but I understand
       E
'Cause you know I'll be here for the long run
G#m
You know that I'll wait
                    C#m
while you have your fun
                      A
And maybe that's not fair
                                  E
but I don't care if I end up with you

I convinced myself you're my person
   G#m
So I'll spend as long as I have to rehearsin'
C#m                       B
 The speech I made for if one day
                   A
it's me you come back to

[chorus]
E                         G#m
 I know that I'll be someone's number one
        C#m
some day

They won't go searching for more
          A
but I'll still wish I could've

been enough for you
E                             G#m
 And I can't let that go, I know I'm
                                      C#m
better off but I still think there's some way
    Bsus4            A
Somehow, I can still be the one for you
                    C#m
So five years from now
                  B
If you're still around
             E                          A
And by some miracle you haven't settled down
             C#m
Maybe we can meet
                 B
Catch up on everything
                     E
And if it goes how I planned it
                    A
You'll say that it's always been me

[instrumental]
A  B  E

[post-chorus]
A             B
 Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
E           A
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
A            B
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    E           A
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[verse]
C#m                         B
Five years from now, let me set up the scene
     E
I'll call you up and you'll say
      A
"it's good to hear from me"
    C#m                        B
I'll ask if we can meet at the café

by your house
                E
You'll say "you know I don't like coffee"
            A
I'll say "I thought you might by now"
         C#m
You'll suggest that since we're older
     B
let's go out for drinks
         E
And I'll make a joke that this is the
      A
first time you've paid for me
      C#m
I'll arrive at the bar
          B
You'll be waiting in your car
           E
You'll get out and I'll run to you
A
Straight to your arms
      C#m
I can feel your heart racing
      B
But I won't say a thing
            E
Cuz mine is doing the same
             A                C#m
Just like it did when I was 18
                     B
Once we get past the awkward how are yous
       E
You'll say you've been dying to
     A
know where I went to

[bridge]
C#m
 I'll say that I've been
        B
working on my music in La
E
 But I won't tell you that
   A                                E
my songs are still about you to this day
                  B
You'll say you're proud
                       A
and you're happy for me
               B
And you always knew
                     C#m
I'd end up living my dream
                        B
And then you'll fill me in
                        E
on what you've been up to
                       A
And I'll probably interrupt you,
                  C#m
you know I always do
               B
And we'll both laugh and
                    E
it's like nothing's changed
                     A
When I look in your eyes
                              C#m
you'll still make me feel the same
    B
And I'll dread the part when
    E
you tell me about
              A
All the girls you've been with
C#m               B
 I know they're all in your past
    E                               A
but it'll still be hard for me to listen

[chorus]
       C#m
'Cause after all this time
    B
you haven't left my mind
  E
I never moved on,
              A
I looked for you in every guy
    C#m
But I'll make up some story
   B
so you won't have a clue
                E
That I've never put myself out there
            A
'cause I've been waiting for you
      C#m                   B
We'll talk for hours and we won't even notice
         E
That the bar cleared out,
           A
'cause it closed at 10
      C#m
It'll be almost 11,
           B
and you'll say "we should probably leave"
         E
Then you walk me to my car
               A
and say “let's do this again"

[post-chorus]
               C#m
And I'll drive home feeling the
 B
happiest I've been since
    E                         A
Five years ago before our inescapable end
           C#m
But that's water under the bridge
      B
It's okay that you didn't want me
         E
'Cause before I can even pull
        A
in my driveway you'll call me
C#m                                B
 You'll say that you couldn't wait
                       E
'Til the next time you saw me to
                 A
tell me you're sorry
                       C#m
About all those years ago
                        Bsus4
And that you were just stupid and young
        E
and the girls that you loved were fine
      A                           E
But, none of them ever felt like home
     A
But I do

[outro]
               C#m
One day you'll ask for my forgiveness
           B
But you've had it all along
E                   A
 'Cause it's always been you
                       C#m
You think our love is long gone now
         B
Buried deep in the ground
          A
And can never be found
    B
But five years from now
                                             A
Please give me the chance to prove you wrong
