Key: Bb

Verse 1:
       G
In the room
G
There's a couch from my brother
  Em7
A lamp from your mother
                            C
A house warming living room rug
               G
An old picture of us


Verse 2:
G

In the room
G
There's a plant soon to be dead
  Em7
A tear drop on my dress
                         C
Questions we're dancing around
                       G
The truth staring both of us down


Chorus:
                D
You don't wanna ask
                  Em7
And I don't wanna say
                  C
Takes up half the space but we still look away
            D
Once upon a time
             Em7
We had butterflies
        C
But now it's just us two
        D
And the elephant  .


Verse 3:
       G
In the room
G
There's a candle that's burned out
  Em7
A silence that's too loud
                        C
A voice in my head that won't stop
C
A ring that went back in the box


Chorus:
    G           D
You don't wanna ask
                  Em7
And I don't wanna say
                  C
Takes up half the space but we still look away
            D
Once upon a time
             Em7
We had butterflies
        C
But now it's just us two
        D
And the elephant  .


Bridge:
       Em7
In the room
  C  G    D
(Ooh)
       Em7
In the roo
  C  G    D/F#
(Ooh)
         Em7                 C
Oh, it's just too sad so why say it at all?
     G                  D         C
Even if it's 2 tons and 10 feet tall  .


Out-Chorus:
    G           D
You don't wanna ask
                  Em7
And I don't wanna say
                  C
Takes up half the space but we still look away
            D
Once upon a time
             Em7
We had butterflies
        C
But now it's just us two
        D
And the elephant  .
