The Way It Should Be

            C
We pulled up; our coats on
         Em
Cause once we get out, it'll be
       Am         F          G
The only way we have of staying warm;
      C
My thoughts were left at the back door;
       Em
You slipped on them, hit the wood floor
      Am          G         F
And foolishly, i helped you up;
       G
And carried you to the stairs,
           Am            G             F
But they broke from the weight of our conversation;
    Am                G          F
We fell through the ground and into the basement;
Am       G             F
The laundry broke our fall;
     Am         G             F
Strategically placed because i planned on this the night before.

        C
So you wait a few days
   F
Before you take it off
         C
Cause it all feels so strange
       F
Without our pictures on your wall
        Am           G
Because i belong to you
     C            F
And you belong to me
   F           G             C
And thats the way it should be

          C
We took off our coats
          Em
Cause we finally realized
          Am
That it's not the weather
      F             G
That was making us feel cold.
      C
My thoughts still left at the back door
     Em
And you still bothering me for
      Am         G               F
Not looking you straight in the eyes,
         G
But i'm not this time;
      Am                  G           F
So i looked right through you to the passing trees
      Am             G
And focused on just one;
            F
You asked 'why is everything
Am             G    F
So different after dark?'
   Am           G
I told you this once, but
       F
You took it with a grain of salt
