Intro Am G C Em F
Am G C Em F
[Verso 1]Am G C Em F
Took me over to your house to meet your family
Introduce me to them, saying that you'd marry me
Am G C Em F
Then you'd look me in the eye and say it's just a joke
Then you'd kiss me and I'd smile, did you even know?
Am G C Em F
When you'd say that kinda thing I'd be excited
Got me hoping maybe one day you would mean it
Am G C Em F
Always thought I'd only make a fool of someone else
Now you've only gone and made me make one of myself
( Am G C Em F )
[Refrão]Am G C Em F
I guess the flowers aren't just used for big apologies
I guess I should've been more conscious how you spoke to
Am G C Em F
'Cause when we'd fight you give me space and not communicate
And for a while I thought that's what I should appreciate
Am G C Em F
Maybe I was holding on to what I thought you were
But when you think too hard eventually it starts to hurt
Am G C Em F
The version of you in my head now I know wasn't true
N.c
Young people fall for the wrong people guess my one was you
( Am G C Em F )
[Verso 2]Am G C Em F
I was getting any flight so we could make it work
You'd ignore me, could have told me you were seein' her
Am G C Em F
Kinda hate myself for justifying your mistakes
Took a minute but I learned that shit the hard way
Am G C Em F
Who are you to tell me I can't be heartbroken
Babe, you had the chance, the door for you was open
Am G C Em F
If it's what you need to tell yourself to sleep at night
Pretend I haven't found a man who finally treats me right
[Refrão] Am G C Em F
I guess the flowers aren't just used for big apologies
I guess I should've been more conscious how you spoke to me
Am G C Em F
'Cause when we'd fight you give me space and not communicate
And for a while I thought that's what I should appreciate
Am G C Em F
Maybe I was holding on to what I thought you were
But when you think too hard eventually it starts to hurt
Am G C Em F
The version of you in my head now I know wasn't true
Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you
( Am G C Em F )
Final
Am G C Em F
If there's anything I've learned it's you should watch yourself
If it's hurting you then leave and go and get some help
