Long Story Short Chords

[Intro]
Em C G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                       C
Wouldn't have wasted my time
                                G
And could've saved the pick-up line
                  D
Didn't have to go buy your drinks that night
Em                        C
Or go and ask for your number
                    G
Wait a week to call ya
                      D
Or wait to meet your mother
I wonder
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 Em                     C
What if we skipped the wait
                  G
The fancy dinner dates
                         D
And all the whole month holidays yeah
Em                 C
Skip ten anniversaries
                    G
To get down on one knee
                   N.C.
What if I knew in time you'd leave me
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em
What if
           C
We never waited
                   G
And skip a couple pages
            D
What if we made
            Em
Long story short
                      C
End all the awkward stages
               G
And honeymoon phases
             D
We could've made
             Em
Long story short
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Em C G D
          Long story short
 
 
[Verse 2]
 Em                         C
I'd say go see where she's from
                                G
Then wait a year as a rule of thumb
                        D
Before you can call it love
             Em
Our love oh god
                              C
We'd say let's just take it slow
                     G
Say to see where it goes
                    D
What if I would've known
When I said hello
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em                      C
I would've skipped the wait
                  G
The moving to my place
                      D
Pretend to love your friends I hate
 Em                    C
Skip years of little fights
                      G
Sun-drunk and Friday nights
                    D
Why did you wait to say goodbye
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em
What if
           C
We never waited
                   G
And skip a couple pages
            D
What if we made
            Em
Long story short
                      C
End all the awkward stages
               G
And honeymoon phases
             D
We could've made
             Em
Long story short
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Em C G D
          Long story short
Em C G D
          Long story short
 
 
[Bridge]
 C
The more I think about it
Em               D         C
All those conversations we had
                         Em                D              C
I wanted little ones to look like you and not like their dad
                 Em             D          C
Oh you could've pretend to be grandma and grandpa
            D                   N.C.
Think about it all those conversations we had
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em
What if
          C   G
We never waited
                  D
Girl why did you cut
            Em
Long story short
                     C
End all the awkward stages
                G
And honeymoon phases
             D
We could've made
            Em
Long story short
