[ verse 1 ]
( G )
i could have changed my mind , but tried to change you ,
Cadd9
what do i have to do? what do i have to do? ,
G
i should have seen it coming; should have seen it through ,
Cadd9
what do i have to do? what do i have to do?

[ chorus ]
G D Cadd9 G
who knew? did you have a clue ,
( G ) D Cadd9 D
that we’d be the ones to stand in the sun ,
G D Cadd9 G
who knew what we could do? ,
( G ) D Cadd9 G
carved out our names close to the flame .

[ verse 2 ]
i tried to land; i tried my hand at something new ,
what do i have to do? what do i have to do? ,
i’d rather turn away than sit and wait my turn ,
will you return? will you return? .

[ chorus ]
who knew? i’d love to prove ,
without a doubt; dig our way out ,
who knew? never talked it through ,
remember the day parting ways .

[ bridge ]
G
how did i get it wrong ,
Cadd9
played my part; played along ,
G
with it all; all to lose ,
Cadd9
here i stand by you .

[ chorus ]
who knew the best we could do? ,
led out the door; nothing said; nothing more ,
who knew? left with no clue ,
we were the ones to stand in the sun ( we were the ones ) ,
we were the ones to stand in the sun ( we were the ones ) ,
we were the ones to stand in the sun .
