Verse
A/E D/F# E7sus4
Hi, I know I promised that we'd talk more
A/E D/F# E7sus4
It's just I, I'm surprised you even want to talk at all
A/E D/F# E7sus4
Well, you can refer to me as the one who still calls nervously
A/E D/F# E7sus4 N.C.
Because I'm so scared that you still think I'm the one who gave up
[Refrão] A/E D/F# Esus4 E7sus4 A/E
When I, I, I, I, I, I wasn't the only one who'd given up
A/E D/F# Esus4
And all of the plans we made were never mistakes
E7sus4 A/E
They just didn't work for us
D/F# E7sus4 E7sus4 N.C.
So don't go pointing blame at the ones who made you smile

Verse

You always knew the deal that we made and what this was worth
A/E D/F# Esus4 E7sus4 E7sus4/13
That we'd try until the time it stopped being fun and felt like real work
[Refrão] A/E D/F# Esus4 E7sus4 A/E
And I, I, I, I, I, I wasn't the only one who's feeling tired
D/F# Esus4 E7sus4
Of all the shit you gave and the dick you made me into
A/E D/F# Esus4 E7sus4

A/E D/F# Esus4 E7sus4
Us, and everything it was, just wasn't enough
