[Verse 1]
N.C. C
Oh, that familiar body ache the way I break
F
I talk too much, we stayed up late
Am G F
And the color of your shirt, made me wanna cry
N.C. C
And I never understood the phrase, "It's just phase"
F
"It's medicine you need to taste"
Am G F
When all I hear is "have fun wastin' your time"
[Pre-Chorus]
G* Am* G* C* F*
I'm not the one and it's not somethin' I can change
Dm* C* F
No, it's not love, it's just the comfort of its name
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F
So I tried to leave, and he got on his knees and said, "Fuck you,"
C Dm Am F
After losing sleep disappointing me with the songs he'd never heard of and nor did he
want to
C Dm Am F
Had no flame, and I tried to blame the perfume
Dm F C
Left on his counter, and if I'd have found her, would it have been true?
Could it have been true?
[Verse 2]
C
Oh, that peculiar summer break, I stayed awake
F
I thought too much of my mistakes
Am G F
And the color of my walls made me wanna die
C F
But I never understood the point in throwin' coins in wishing wells to fix my choice
Am G F
When all we had to do was say our goodbyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Am* C
You're not the one, and it's not somethin' I can change
F* Dm* C* F*
No, it's not love, it's just the comfort of its name
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F
So I tried to leave, and he got on his knees and said, "Fuck you,"
C Dm Am F
After losing sleep disappointing me with the songs he'd never heard of and nor did he
want to
C Dm Am F
Had no flame, and I tried to blame the perfume
Dm F C
Left on his counter, and if I'd have found her, would it have been true?
G F
Could it have been true?
[Bridge]
C*
Thank God, I got my twenties
Dm*
We didn't get married
Am* F*
At least I'm not forty and cursing our bedsheets
C* Dm*
Wishin' I'd left you, wishin' you'd left me
C* F*
Probably cryin', I'd probably hate you
C A#
And though I’m unemployed , tryna find some joy
F Fm
At least I'm not forty and screwin' the pool boy
C A#
Stayin' for the children, might even resent them
F
We could've been true
It could've been you
[Chorus]
C Dm Am F
So I tried to leave, and he got on his knees and said, "Fuck you,"
C Dm Am F
After losing sleep disappointing me with the songs he'd never heard of and nor did he
want to
C Dm Am F
Had no flame, and I tried to blame the perfume
Dm F C
Left on his counter, and if I'd have found her, would it have been true?
G
(It could've been you)
C D Am F
So I tried to leave, and he got on his knees and said, "Fuck you,"
(It could've been you)
C Dm Am F
After losing sleep disappointing me with the songs he'd never heard of and nor did he
want to
(It could've been you)
C Dm Am F
Had no flame, and I tried to blame the perfume
Dm F C
Left on his counter, and if I'd have found her, would it have been true?
F C
Left on his counter, and if I'd have found her, could it have been true?
[Outro]
Dm F C*
If you weren't a liar and I'd have been kinder, it could've it have been you, yeah
