Am 
  When I was younger,
         C
  I was certain,
              Em             D/F#
  I would be fine without a queen,
          Am               C
  Just a king inside his castle,
           Em           D/F#
  With an ocean in between,
       Am           C
  Now all I do is sit and,
             G                 D/F#
  Count the miles from you to me,
         A7     C B7
  Oh, calamity,
          Am           C
  We get older by the hour,
              Em           D/F#
  Watch the changes from afar,
        Am               C
  Keep forgetting to remember,
                Em             D/F#
  Where we've been is who we are,
       Am          C
  Now all I do is wonder,
          G             D/F#
  Why we ever set the scene,
         A7     C D
  Oh, calamity,

  No act to change what we've become,
   Em       D/F#       C       G          B7           Em
  Damn it's such a shame that we built a wreck out of me,

Verse:
          Am              C
  I'll remember nights alone,
          Em          D/F#
  Waking up to dial tones,
           Am               C
  Always found my greatest moment,
           Em              D/F#
  In the sound of your hello's,
         Am             C 
  Now I struggle to recall,
               G                  D/F#
  The reasons you would come to leave,
