[Verse 1]

I feel what you feel
A5 G5 E5
When you something tell to me
A5 G5 C5
It’s not an illusion, it is you
A5 G5 E5
And fact about you. So look:
A5 G5 C5
You’re texting me about your problem
A5 G5 E5
And you act like we’re a couple
A5 G5 C5
But if for you it’s just therapy
A5 G5 E5
Then I begin to feel empathy

A5 G5 E5
And I’ll be by your side
A5 G5 C5

A5 G5 C5
I can’t lie to you when you cry and
A5 G5 E5
We’re not a couple - that’s how I define it
A5 G5 C5
Than faster you this understand
A5 G5 E5
So much the better in the end
A5 G5 C5
I like red, you like blue
