Been Here Before

C-Em-Am-G
Where did the sun go
From underneath your eyes
why does your body quiver
when I hold you tight

memories of a perfect moonlit night
remember how it used to be alright

Am G
But now, I’m so frustrated
Cause now, its so complicated
Right now, I can barely take it
F G
Some how, we're gonna make it

Verse 1

C-Em-Am-G
We know its simple, to stand up and jump to a conclusion
Pack your stuff and stomp right out the door
But prior to proposing this ultimatum
think back way back we’ve been here before

Am G
But my chest is beating
Right now, at the thought of you leaving
Somehow, if we could get through the night
F G
It might end this fight, the simple answer's not right so...

Chorus

Step back, relax, asses the situation
Take a moment, take a breath, put your feet on the floor

Lax off, give me slack, accept this invitation
To take time, rewind, we've been here before

Roll back, back-track, avoid this indecision
Last time I told you why to leave your bags at the door

Step back, relax, accept this invitation
To take time, rewind, we've been here before



Verse 2
Im gonna try not to start the phase of self-destruction
No calls and you wont here me whine anymore
But maybe someday, we can meet at a junction
And figure out a way to function

Am
But for now, Im shredded to pieces
Cause now, I got to trust your feelings
So now, I'm gonna feed my head
And hope when I get home, you're drunk and in my bed

Chorus
