Am   F   C  x4

Verse:
C                              Am        F
  this wasn’t supposed to be external
C                          Am        F
  but it seems i’ve made a mess
C                         Am        F
  this wasn’t meant to be special
C                         Am        F
  now it’s nagging me: confess

Interlude:
C   Am   F
C   Am   F

  don’t talk to me
C   Am   F

Verse:
C                     Am        F
  i could improvise solutions
C                      Am        F
  and i could try to reframe
C                            Am        F
  until i’m left with your admission
C                              Am        F
  that i’m not all there is to blame
G                   Am        F
  i could lie to be gentle
G                      Am        F
  we will never be the same
C          F         Am               F
  the more adamant i am that it’s the surface
G                             Am        F             Am
  the more the walls begin to flake

Chorus:
C               Am       F       C       Am       F
  don’t talk to me
C               Am       F       C       Am       F
  don’t talk to me
Dm        Am
  keeping count
Dm          Am         G
  as if the hurt could balance
Dm                Am
  don’t walk with me
Dm           Am       G
  your dirty feet are obvious
    F
and how could you brag confidence
  Am           G
a willing keen participant
   F
in rolling waves of incidents
       Am                G               C
you’ve made your bed now sleep in it you prince

C   Am   F
C   Am   F

Outro:
C                               Am        F
  they would’ve flared out like summer
C                            Am        F
  just some pictures i could keep
C                 Am        F
  your memory’s inventive
C                    Am        F
  i won’t ever fall asleep
C                       Am        F
  and now i’m sorry for explaining
C                       Am        F
  how you fucked it up again
C                          Am        F
  now i’m watching you backpedal
C                            Am        F
  i wasn’t supposed to feel ashamed
(no chord)
  i wasn’t supposed to feel ashamed
