Tuning: D A D Gb A D
G B
Didn't watch your ex’s set. I just left and thought about
D A
you; like when your teeth graze those lips, when you begin to smile.
G B
Later, you took my hand. You lead us to the door-
D A
way, but you let go of me once you saw all your
G B
friends. And I've known you forever. At least that's what I tell Jake,
D A
when I'm too drunk to walk home, when your brother is a-
G B
way. You suggested I write a song about the first time we met,
D A A B
but I can't seem to remember where or when.
G B
Couldn't watch your ex's set. Instead I wrote this song about
D A
you. Thought, "would you show your kids, if you found the time was right?"
G B
You'd tell them where and when. You never thought I'd leave the east
D A
coast. We were young and full of sin. And I too dumb to understand.
G B
Yet I've loved you forever. At least that's what I tell Holt,
D A
when I'm too drunk to lie, too drugged to be alone.
G B
You suggested I write a song about the first time we met,
D A
well I don't wanna remember there or then.
D B
So, is this the hook you wanted? Is it
A G
stuck inside your head? Can you sing it with your friends, or alone?
D B
So, am I what you needed? Say you love
A G
me to my face, grin and gossip, walk away and then go...
D B
"So is this the hook you wanted? To sing about
A G
me to my friends? Well you're just stuck inside your head, all alone.
D B
Oh, you were all I needed. Said I loved
A G D
you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away.
