Boy and a girl broke up, yeah, it's two a penny
                        Am
And I been tryna make a big step forward
G
Saw you, it was awkward
F
Nothing like I thought would happen happened
C                                                F
I was so in love, and that don't come off in the wash

Kinda hope it does, though
                             Am
'Cause you're seeing someone pretty and I hate her guts
G                           E
So I'll be telling you she's nice on the bus home

We were bad but we're gonna be good
          F
It didn't work like I thought it would
         Am                          G
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
             F
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
      C
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
        F
And you swore you would do better this time
                Am                    G                   F
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
                        C
But at least I'm trying

C
Three shots, lemon drops
                       F
One for being lost and alone in your early twenties
                                Am
One for being obsessed with someone who puts you secondary
G                           F
One for calling guys with guitars in a cemetery

Just me? Okay
C                                             F
If I'm being frank, I want a "sorry" but I'll settle for a handshake
                           Am                     G
'Cause I'm a baby but I'm gonna be the bigger man, babe
                     F
So many blank slates I could build a whole fucking house

Not friends

No, we're somewhere in between
              F                                                      Am
'Cause you're awful and I miss you and I killed you in my dream last night
     G
Even then you didn't care
       F
It's a low when even in my dreams you still don't want me there
    C
Got friends, got at least a healthy five
           F
Yeah, some people think I'm funny, baby, don't look so surprised (Some people think I'm funny!)
   Am              G
We think that your girlfriend is a bore
          F
But we're nice to her in public cause we're grown up and mature
    C
Not friends
                                             F
'Cause when I asked you on the train why you hurt me and you couldn't really actually explain
  Am           G
I cried, then I told you it was cool
         F
God, you haven't changed at all!

                 Am                    G                       F
And you might be awful like all of the time, yeah, it's almost inspiring
