[intro]
[F] [G]

[Opening]
I was [C]distracted and in traffic
I didn’t [Am]feel it when the earthquake happened
But it really got me [F]thinking, were you out drinking?
Were you in the [G]living room, chilling watching television?
It’s been a [C]year now, think I’ve figured out how
How to let you [Am]go and let communication die out

[chorus]
[F]I know, [G]you know, [Am]we know [G]you weren’t
[F]Down for forever and it’s fine.
[F]I know, [G]you know, [A]we know [G]we weren’t
[F]Meant for each other and it’s fine.

[chorus]
But if the world was ending you’d come [F]over, right?
You’d come over and you’d [G]stay the night
Would you love me for the [C]hell of it?
All our fears would be [Am]irrelevant

[chorus]
If the world was ending you’d come [F]over right?
The sky’d be falling and I’d [G]hold you tight.
And there wouldn’t be a [C]reason why
We would even have to [Am]say goodbye

[chorus]
If the world was ending you’d come [F]over, right? [G]Right?
If the world was ending you’d come [C]over, right? [Am]Right?

[verse 2]
I tried to [C]imagine your reaction
It didn’t [Am]scare me when the earthquake happened
But it really got me [F]thinkin’, that night we went drinking
Stumbled in the [G]house and didn’t make it past the kitchen
Ah, it’s been a [C]year now, think I’ve figured out how
How to think about you [Am]without it ripping my heart out

[chorus]
[F]I know, [G]you know, [Am]we know [G]you weren’t
[F]Down for forever and it’s fine.
[F]I know, [G]you know, [A]we know [G]we weren’t
[F]Meant for each other and it’s fine.

[chorus]
But if the world was ending you’d come [F]over, right?
You’d come over and you’d [G]stay the night
Would you love me for the [C]hell of it?
All our fears would be [Am]irrelevant

[chorus]
If the world was ending you’d come [F]over right?
The sky’d be falling and I’d [G]hold you tight
No, there wouldn’t be a [C]reason why
We would even have to [Am]say goodbye

[chorus]
If the world was ending you’d [F]come over, right?
You’d come over, [G]right? You’d come over,
You’d come over, you’d come over, [C]right? [Am]

[chorus]
