[Intro]
C  G D  x4
 
[Verse 1]
C                          G                D
He says he doesn’t believe anything much he hears these days
C                           G                        D
He says, “Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?”
C                            G                     D
He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be
C                             G                      D
He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity
C      G             D
I call just checking up on him
C        G   D
He’s up, 3am pacing
C                  G      D
He says, “It’s not just a phase I’m in”
C        D
My voice comes out begging
 
[Chorus]
Em         C            D
 All this time I didn’t know
                     C
You were breaking down
            Em             D
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
                      C
If you weren’t around
             D
Too young to know it gets better
G       D          Em
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
C           Em        D
Forever winter if you go…
 
C  G D  x2
 
[Verse 2]
C
He seems fine most of the time
G                  D
Forcing smiles and never minds
C
His laugh is a symphony
G                           D
When the lights go out it’s hard to breathe
C                      G                           D
I pull at every thread trying to solve the puzzles in his head
C                            G               D
Live my life scared to death he’ll decide to leave instead
C      G             D
I call just checking up on him
C        G   D
He’s up, 5am wasted
C          G        D
Long gone, not even listening
C        D
My voice comes out screaming
 
[Chorus]
Em         C            D
 All this time I didn’t know
                     C
You were breaking down
            Em             D
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
                      C
If you weren’t around
             D
Too young to know it gets better
G       D          Em
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
C           Em        D
Forever winter if you go…
 
C  Em D x2
 
[Verse 3]
C                     Em         D
If I was standing there in your apartment
C                              Em      D
I’d take that bomb in your head and disarm it
C                     Em         D
I’d say I love you even at your darkest and
C            D    Em
Please don’t go
 
[Chorus]
C          D
I didn’t know
                     C
You were breaking down
            Em              D
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
                  C
If you weren’t around
                D
Too young to know it gets better
G       D       Em
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
C        Em            D
 Forever winter if you go…
 
C  Em D x2
 
[Bridge]
                        C
I’ll be your summer sun forever
   Em         D
At 3am pacing
                       C
All this time I didn’t know
   Em         D
At 5am wasted
                        C
I’d be in pieces on the floor
        Em            D
Forever winter if you go...
 
[Outro]
C                          G                D
He says he doesn’t believe anything much he hears these days
C                            G        D
I say, “Believe in one thing, I won’t go away”

This actually isn't about a romance. It's about a friend with a mental illness who died of drugs at 21. Somehow it just makes this song even more sad, beautiful, tragic without it being a love affair
