[Verse 1]
E Em7 A
When I was a kid I played pretend so often
E Em7 A
I started believing my own games
E Em7 A
When I was a kid I read so many works of fiction
E Em7 A
I started believing what they’d say

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
And then I met you with those eyes
C#m A
Spinning treetops in July
C#m A
And I swore that I recognized you
C#m
From a past life
A
Where we never got it right

[Chorus]
E Em7 A
I should’ve guessed it would happen like this
Anyone with common sense could see it
E Em7 A
I should’ve guessed I’d be crying in my kitchen
C#m
While you’re busy kissing somebody I can’t compete with
A
And we both know I can’t make it even
D
I probably needed a reality check
A E
And now I’ve got one so I really should’ve guessed

Em7 A

[Verse 2]
E Em7 A
And I know I tend to over romanticize moments
E Em7 A
Bottle them up and hide them away
E Em7 A
Yeah I know I tend to try and stay in that slow motion
E Em7 A
But nothing holds you these days

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
‘Cause she’s a golden summer sky
C#m A
And I’m an ocean that’s far to deep for you to dive

[Chorus]
E Em7 A
I should’ve guessed it would happen like this
Anyone with common sense could see it
E Em7 A
I should’ve guessed I’d be crying in my kitchen
C#m
While you’re busy kissing somebody I can’t compete with
A
And we both know I can’t make it even
D
I probably needed a reality check
A B
And now I’ve got one so I really should’ve guessed

[Bridge]
A B A
This obsession
B A
Was only messing with my head

[Chorus]
E Em7 A
I should’ve guessed it would happen like this
Anyone with common sense could see it
E Em7 A
I should’ve guessed I’d be crying in my kitchen
C#m
While you’re busy kissing somebody I can’t compete with
A
And we both know I can’t make it even
D
I probably needed a reality check
A E
And now I’ve got one so I really should’ve guessed

Em7 A
