[Verse 1]
Gm Gm7
I'm writing this to you in reverse
Gm
Someone better call a hearse
Gm7 Gm
I can see it all from here
Gm Gm7
From just a few glimpses
Gm
Now that lightbulb's gone off
Gm7
And it's pulling my wince
Gm
And now the lightbulb's gone off
Gm7 Gm
I've seen it in your eyes
Gm Gm7
I've seen you blankly stare
Gm
And I want to show you how I love you
Gm7
But there's nothing there
[Chorus]

Gm Gm7
Some people are so easily shuffled and dealt
Gm Gm7
If there's only one of us you truly felt
Gm
We're getting you raw
Gm Gm7
And it feels real good
Gm7 Gm
Although only briefly
Gm Gm7
Like high school poppers would
F Em
Will you lose a bit of yourself?
Dm C Bb
Will you lose a bit of yourself?
[Chorus]

I'm not standing here!

Oh I'm not standing here!
