Verse 1AF#m
We never had coffee table books or dinner parties
AF#m
We always had hazy nights and sex, clichés in Paris

Don't disturb on the top floor
E
Getting high by the window
D
In bed with your eyes locked into mine
E
How perfect was it?
ChorusA
9th of October, I always remember
F#m
No bad things had happened then
A
Honestly, you never thought you'd fall for me
F#m
But somehow you got pulled in
D
Livin' so fast, makin' memories last
E
'Til our hearts couldn't hold no more
D
Hear you explodin' while I am implodin'
E
Now, how did we let this go?

We never had, ah

We never wanted
EA normal kind of love
Verse 2A

'Bout dirty laundry

We always had tender, long goodbyes

Packed bags in a hurry

Our last kiss at the bus stop

Had I known, would've jumped off

And now from the pieces of my heart, I'm so sorry
