    Lyrics:
    I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
    How we met and the sparks flew instantly
    People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
    I used to know my place was a spot next to you
    Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
    'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
    Oh, a simple complication
    Miscommunications lead to fall out
    So many things that I wish you knew
    So many walls up I can't break through
    Now I'm standing alone In a crowded room
    And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know
    Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah
    I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
    When it all broke down and the story of us
    Looks a lot like a tragedy now next chapter
    How'd we end up this way?
    See me nervously pulling at my clothes
    And trying to look busy
    And you're doing your best to avoid me
    I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
    How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
    But you held your pride like you should have held me
    Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
    Why are we pretending this is nothing?
    I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
    I've never heard silence quite this loud
    Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
    And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know
    Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah
    I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
    When it all broke down and the story of us
    Looks a lot like a tragedy now
    This is looking like a contest
    Of who can act like they care less
    But I liked it better when you were on my side
    The battle's in your hands now
    But I would lay my armor down
    If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
    So many things that you wish I knew
    But the story of us might be ending soon
    Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
    And we're not speaking and I'm dying to know
    Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah
    I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
    When it all broke down and the story of us
    Looks a lot like a tragedy now, the end

  • @direwolf6234
    @direwolf6234 8 місяців тому

    have watched many of your lessons and am impressed by your ability knowledge and passion .. what i do find so surprising is swift's reliance in the same chord shapes over and over and using the capo for key changes .. perhaps doing it the same way makes live performances easier like playing on auto pilot .. does anyone else have an observation or explanation .. ??

    Hello Nena, just want to ask If you also play the high e string when doing fsus2 chord? Do i have to also barre the high e string or mute? And to the Gsus4 is your middle finger hitting the 5th string or not? I'm confused cause i can't tell if your hitting the 5th string with your middle finger when you're doing Gsus4 chord.

    • @lanainmydreams
      @lanainmydreams 5 місяців тому

      The middle finger does not hit 5th string in Gsus4, I guess she is just resting it in the air. The Fsus2 needs both B and high E to be pressed by the first finger. It's difficult for me to do too
