[Verso 1]
Em
Tell me everything about your past

So I can overthink it
G
Was she pretty?
Was she smart?
Did you kiss her in the dark?
D
Leave her house at 5 in the morning
Em
No, it doesn't help to ask
C
But I can't shake the image
G
Did you make out in your car?
Did she let you take it far?
D
And you know I'm not talking about mileage
C D
I'll play it cool, and I'll toe the line
Em D
I'll pull you close but I'm in my mind

You're treading deep, I've never left the crowd
Em D
Will you still want me if I don't know how?

He's swimming laps
G D
I've never touched the deep end

I'm safe at last
G D
Too scared to chase this feeling
Em C
I was never scared of falling

Until all I know is sink or swim cause

He's swimming laps
G D Em
And I'm drowning in the bleachers
[Verso 2]
Em
Tell me when you touch my hair
C
Do you ever think of her?
G
It makes me sick, you've seen her naked
Sorry I'm so PG rated
D
But honestly who's keeping score
Em
I wish I knew how I compared
C
I know I'll never be the first
G
And I might not be the second
But I hope I make you question

Every other girl before

Sitting on a bench

While everyone's diving in

Will you hold my hand

And wade in the shallow end?

Will you catch me or leave me floating?
Am Em G D
Climbing out, blue lips and cold skin
