I've had Beach House on repeat on my iPod for the past couple weeks... They are so good! So here's one of my favorites from the Teen Dream album. A sad song, that's very relatable for many people.
Below is a link to the original song off the album along with lyrics and the chords I used in my arrangement.
Enjoy!

"Used To Be"
You are coming home, are you still alone,
Are you not the same as you used to be?
As the sun grows high and you serve your time,
Does each day just feel like another lie?
Now you know, is it just for show,
Just a foolish game that you hide behind?
Don't forget the nights when it all felt right,
Are you not the same as you used to be?
Used to be, used to be
In an endless night could you feel the fright
Of an age that was and could never be?
So we hold it close when we feel the most
Like a love that we could not leave behind
Turn the wheel to each way we feel
Til I'm lost and I cannot find you there
Don't forget the nights when it all felt right,
Are you not the same as you used to be?
Used to be, used to be
Coming home any day now
Any day now, any day now...

Verse Variation 1: A Major x2, G Major, D Major
