What Was

E                             Amaj7 
Young, standing on the edge of 21 
  F#m                           E 
Staring at the man that I've become 

Sometimes 
                   Amaj7  F#m 
When I lose my control 
      E 
He's dumb, if you blink he'll blow up 
      Amaj7 
Like a gun 
  F#m                            E 
Jumping to conclusions just for fun 
                            A 
That guy, needs somebody to hold 
                    E    Amaj7  F#m 
He needs somebody he knows 


                       E  Amaj7  F#m 
Where the hell did she go? 
    Am 
It kinda makes me feel like 
 

E 
I wish I could change my name 
A 
I wish I could start again 
F#m           B 
Fly me to a lonely place 
              A 
Where you'll never see my face 
        Am 
So you never feel the pain of 
E    A 
What was 
            F#m 
When you're standing in the rain 
B 
Calling out my namе 
A                    Am 
Nothing's gonna change 
     E 
What was 


E                                     Amaj7 
Cold, driving through my neighborhood alone 
 F#m                              E 
Going past thе house but I'm not home this 
Time 
                   Amaj7 
Haven't been in a while 
                           E 
I haven't been, 'cause I'm far away 
                 A 
In another state miles away from us 
        E 
As you try to fan a dying flame 
       A              Am 
While ashes turn to dust 
 

E 
I wish I could change my name 
A 
I wish I could start again 
F#m           B 
Fly me to a lonely place 
              A 
Where you'll never see my face 
        Am 
So you never feel the pain of 
E    A 
What was 
            F#m 
When you're standing in the rain 

Calling out my namе 
A 
Nothing's gonna change 
     E 
What was 
 

E            E 
Let me, start over 
                              A 
The moment that I left you in tears 
                                    Am 
It's a memory that will haunt me for years 
                                      E 
(Play an octave higher) 
And years, and years, and years, and years 
    A        E 
Oh, it still does 
    A        B   Am 
Oh, it still does 
     E 
What was 


Final 

                      A  E  C#m 
You need somebody to hold 
                      E 
Where the hell did I go?
