[Chorus]
G
When I put you on that pedestal
G7
I put you too damn high
C
Can’t see your face
Stuck in the clouds
Cm
You’re in the sky

Now I’m hurtin’ like I knew I would

Feel like I wanna die

I wish I had the words
Cm
But all I do is cry
[Verse 1]

I know you think it’s okay
G7
To always have it your way

Play me like a game of chess

Tore my walls down with one kiss

I didn’t mean to let you get this far

And I can’t be the one and only

One that you mess with you in your free time

Cuz you took over my goddamn mind

You’re my first thought in the morning
