C
[Verse 1]
C G
Sliced my hope in two and put it on ice, put it on ice
C Em
Your bed and cartoons could've been my life
C G
I found lashes on the DVD case, you said they were mine, said they were mine
C Em
Never my style but I didn't wanna get on your wrong side
F C G
You lied like a kid in trouble to me cos you wanted your double for company
F C G
But there was someone living in my head til you smuggled her out
F C G
You tainted my teens and that's a shame, I still can't watch Spirited Away
F C G
Or open my hand, some people take whatever they want
[Chorus]
G
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
C G
And now baby the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
G
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
C G
And now baby the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
[Verse 2]
C G
Nothing like a real young thing or what it'll do, what it'll do
C Em
If you give it your words and nobody else to talk to
C G
Last night I had a dream you text and I coulda just cried, oh I could've cried
Am Em
Cos I hadn't felt home like that since I had to block you
F C G
I'd never tried to burn you at the stake, I just need know I'm your last mistake
F C G
The last lost girl who wound up at the end of your call
F C G
I'd have die for you but here's the twist, I was loving something that didn't exist
F C G
Just a mirror of a mirror of a man who you once saw
[Chorus]

It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two

I don't know anything about you ooooooohh ooooooooh
F C G
I don't know anything, I don't know anything about you ooohh oooooooohhh
F C
Oh if you didn't want me you could've said
G
Instead of messing with my heart and fucking with my head
F C G
And saying some no's are better left unsaid
[Chorus]
G
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
C G
And now baby the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
G
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford, afford for two

And now baby the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
