Standard (EADGBE)

thursday night and i'm waiting for that call

it's already too late and i probably won't sleep at all

we've been drifting apart for some time

 but the scariest thing is how i want you stay and you're walking away

my phone rings

(U,D) D

my heart stops

Chorus

when you said hello all i heard was goodbye

when you said you still loved me all i heard were lies

when you said it was over i knew you were too afraid to show

 that you were saying goodbye with hello

i said i wasn't crying but i was fighting back tears

inside it was like breaking up the first time, revealing my fears

 we said it was mutual and everything was fine (oh baby)

 but this is where i lied

i hang up

(U,D) D

the tears come

Chorus

when you said hello all i heard was goodbye

when you said you still loved me all i heard were lies

when you said it was over i knew you were too afraid to show

 that you were saying goodbye with hello

i wish i could take back everything i said in that call

 what i'd really tell you is how i really cared

not that i didn't care at all

you spoke the words i'm not deeply in love with you anymore

 and to this day, those words burn into my core

Chorus

when you said hello all i heard was goodbye

when you said you still loved me all i heard were lies

when you said it was over i knew you were too afraid to show

 that you were saying goodbye with hello
