[Intro]
 Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D
 
[Verse 1]
                  Gmaj7
I missed your 21st birthday
 
I've been up at home
D
Almost tried to call you, don't know if I should
                  Gmaj7             G
Hate to picture you half-drunk happy
        D
Hate to think you went out without me
                Gmaj7
I'm sorry if you blame me if I were you I would
              D
Thought you'd see it coming, but you never could
                     Gmaj7
I still haven't heard from your family
        G             D                Gmaj7
But you said your mom always loved me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                           D
Sometimes I go blurry-eyed
                                              Gmaj7
Small talk and you tell me that you're on fire
                             G                 D
Lights on and it's black and white, I couldn't stay forever
 
 
[Chorus]
         Gmaj7                                     D
I see the look in your eye and I'm biting my tongue
 
You'll be the love of my life when I was young
              Gmaj7
When the night is over
      G              D
Don't call me up I'm already under
                  Gmaj7                         G
I get a little bit alone sometimes and I miss you again
            D
I'll be the love of your life inside your head
              G
When the night is over
                     D
Don't call me up I'm already under
 
 
[Verse 2]
           Gmaj7
Audrey said she saw you out past twelve o'clock
G                   D
Just because you're hurting doesn't mean I'm not
                Gmaj7
If it doesn't go away by the time I turn thirty
G      A D
I made a mistake and I'll tell you I'm sorry
        Gmaj7
"Sorry"
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                           D
Sometimes I go blurry-eyed
                                              Gmaj7
Small talk and you tell me that you're on fire
                   G                           D
Lights on and it's black and white, I couldn't stay forever
 
 
[Chorus]
         Gmaj7
I see the look in your eye and I'm biting my tongue
G             D
You'll be the love of my life when I was young
              G
When the night is over
                           D
Don't call me up I'm already under
                   Gmaj7                          G
I get a little bit alone sometimes and I miss you again
            D
I'll be the love of your life inside your head
              G
When the night is over
                      D
Don't call me up I'm already under

chords do not match song at all

It still sounds off, but a little better without the A chord

oonyaohyeah
Swap the chords around and it sound good - Instead of Gmaj7 (and G) play D, and instead of D play G
