Western Mass

[Verso 1]
 
         G                          C 
It's the same old story every night, wash my face and turn out the light 
Em                                      C             D 
Been years and I feel at peace, got my candles and my routine 
G                                         C 
I don't wish you were by my side, I can't imagine it feeling right 
Em                                        C                   D 
but I'm struck when I remember how I felt then, can't feel it now 


[Refrão]

        G 
And I go back to Western Mass 
        C 
Snuggled up sleeping on that mat 
       Em 
In the basement of your parents house 
        C                            D 
Thought forever couldn’t run/hunt us down 

              G 
and how You’d hold me in the kitchen, that Ohio flat 
   C 
No matter what it was couldn’t be that bad 
    Em 
Our love was more than trust, but know 
D                                               Em  G   C  G D 
Held so tight like you’d never let go, Why’d you let go? 


[Verso 2]

        G                                         C 
Ain't it funny how things can change, and how our choices create such a maze 
Em                                 C                     D 
I don't put stock in regret, gotta take what's past and make new bets 
G                                                   C 
and You can call it's fear or self protection, I won't go back for the same rejection 
Em                                    C                           D 
I reached my end and I chose to heal, it's gone, but your memory's here

[Ponte]

Em                    G 
And I won't go back again now 
D                                 Em   G          D      C 
For a broken boy who took my world and slammed it upside down 
                  Em                   G                C 
And it's fine, we all get hurt in this life from time to time 
     G               Em                G                  D                  C         G D 
It's standstill traffic, it takes some time, I'll never be yours again, but you'll always be mine
