[Verse 1]
Em Am7
Hold the phone, or hold the cab
G D
I've got a few more things to spew
Em Am7
Inconsequentially, it seems I've lost my manners
G
You know I'm no good
D
at least not this week
Em Am7
But nonetheless I've been told it appears I manage
G D Em
and I hold it together just to hold on to my dignity
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Am7
“Then what was that?”
G D Em Am7
She asks in the corner of some darkened room
G D Em Am7
Mulling to the tempo of a classic waltz
G D Em Am7
Where pretty people choose to digest petty thoughts
G D
and talk about the weather
[Chorus]
Em Am7
Well that, that was a mistake
G
That was lapse of judgment, and in pure distaste
D Em
and every other dyslogistic sobriquet
Am7 G
That I can use to pretend that it's all your fault
D
and wash my hands of all of this
Em Am7
But can I stand you hating me?
G D
We shall see
Em Am7
Can I stand you hating me?
G D
We shall see
Em Am7 G
Fools will work to entertain their enemies
D Em Am7
So can I stand you hating me?
G D Em Am7 G D
We shall see
[Verse 2]
Em Am7
god damn, I had it all figured out
G D
But just like that, you're bringing back feelings that have passed
Em Am7
You know, that time you wanted to burn the whole world down
G D
You swore that it was nothing while I sat and watched you drown
Em Am7 G
But no you don't need anybody's help, or anybody else
D Em
So why am you fighting to keep me around?
Am7
and I know that you're lying
G D
So why am I still trying to hear you out?
Em Am7
Try to cling to my composure, but with emotions you're a composer
G D
and here's the part where you drop it down
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Am7
I hold my tongue
G D
You've think you've won
Em Am7
While I keep telling you
G D
This is not a game
[Chorus]
Em Am7
Well that, that was a mistake
G
That was lapse of judgment, and in pure distaste
D Em
and every other dyslogistic sobriquet
Am7 G
That I can use to pretend that it's all your fault
D
and wash my hands of all of this
Em Am7
But can I stand you hating me?
G D
We shall see
Em Am7
Can I stand you hating me?
G D
We shall see
Em Am7 G
Fools will work to entertain their enemies
D Em Am7
So can I stand you hating me?
G D Em Am7 G D
We shall see
