Capo 3
(twice)
When I was younger,
I was certain,
I would be fine without a queen,
Just a king inside his castle,
With an ocean in between,
Now all I do is sit and,
Count the miles from you to me,
Oh, calamity,
We get older by the hour,
Watch the changes from afar,
Keep forgetting to remember,
Where we've been is who we are,
Now all I do is wonder,
Why we ever set the scene,
Oh, calamity,
It's such a shame that we play strangers,
No act to change what we've become,
Damn it's such a shame that we built a wreck out of me,
Oh, calamity,
Oh, calamity,
I'll remember nights alone,
Waking up to dial tones,
Always found my greatest moment,
In the sound of your hello's,
Now I struggle to recall,
The reasons you would come to leave,
Oh, calamity,
It's such a shame that we play strangers,
No act to change what we've become,
Damn it's such a shame that we build a wreck out of me,
Oh, calamity,
Oh, calamity,
Bridge:
If I catch you on the corner,
Will you even know it's me?
Will I look familiar to you?
Do you offer me a seat?
Can we find a new beginning?
Do you turn the other cheek?
Oh, calamity
Coda:
(mute)
It's such a shame that we play strangers,
No act to change what we've become,
Damn it's such a shame that we play strangers,
No act to change what we've become,
Damn it's such a shame that we built a wreck out of me,
Oh, calamity,
Oh, calamity,
Oh, calamity,
Come back to me,
