Intro
[Bb] [Cm7] [Cm7b5]
(Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong)
Verse 1
[Bb6] [Bbdim7] [Cm7] [C#dim7]
Swore I'd never do this again
[Dm7] [G7] [Cm7] [F7]
Think that I'm so clever, I could date a friend
[Bb6] [Bbdim7] [Cm7] [C#dim7]
He just called me, said he's running late
[Dm7] [G7] [Cm7] [F7]
Like me, he probably had to regurgitate
[D7] [Gm] [D7/A] [Gm/Bb] [D7/A] [Gm] [Gm/Bb]
I know, it's irrational, at least I'm self-aware
[C9] [Cm7] [F9]
I'm shivering, maybe I'll stay home, oh shit, he's here
Chorus
[Bb]
My head's a wild place
[Gm] [Dm7b5]
I've considered every way
[G7] [Cm] [Dm7b5] [G7] [Cm]
Words I'll forget, deeply regret, he'll run away
[Eb6] [Ebmmaj7] [Dm7] [G7#5]
And nothing brings me fear like meeting with my destiny
[Cm9] [F13] [Bb] [Bb6] [Cm7] [Cm7b5]
But like clockwork, think he fell in love with me (Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong)
Verse 2
[Bb6] [Bbdim7]
Now we're drinking
[Cm7] [C#dim7]
Caught him fight or flight
[Dm7] [G7] [Cm7] [F7]
I think I might be loving this romantic night
[Bb6] [Bbdim7] [Cm7] [C#dim7]
Damn, he's smiling, starin' back at me
[Bm7] [G7] [Cm7] [F7]
We're at the arcade, think it's going perfectly
[D7] [Gm] [D7/A] [Gm/Bb] [D7/A] [Gm] [Gm/Bb]
I know I'm dramatic, but I caved in at his touch
[C9] [Cm7] [F9]
I want him forever, oh my God, I've said too much
Chorus
[Bb]
My head's a wild place
[Gm] [Dm7b5]
I've considered every way
[G7] [Cm] [Dm7b5] [G7] [Cm]
Words I'll forget, deeply regret, he'll run away
[Eb6] [Ebmmaj7] [Dm7] [G7#5]
And nothing brings me fear like meeting with my destiny
Outro
[Cm9] [F13]
But good God, I think he fell in love
[Dm7] [G7]
Tick, tock, and I fell in love too
[Cm7] [F13] [Bb]
Like clockwork, I fell in love with you (Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong)

This skyscraper's causing vertigo
[Am9] [D9] [Gmaj7]
The countdown begins in Tokyo
[Bm7] [E7(b13)] [Am7] [Cm6/9] [A9#11] [D9]
Twenty-seven days alone means twenty million ways to cope without you
Chorus
[Am9] [D13]
I'm in a reckless fever, love-struck girl, I'd tease her
[Gdim7] [G6/9]
Thought I'd never be her
[E7(b13)] [E7]
Quite the job you've done on me, sir
[Am7] [D13]
You've been hosting parties in my mind
[Gdim7] [G6/9] [E7(b13)] [E7]
I'm working overtime to have you in my world
[Am9] [Cm6/9] [Gmaj7]
Oh, what a curse it is to be a lover girl
Verse 2
[Am9] [D9] [Gmaj7]
Forced to get creative, wrote my feelings down

I can't wait another day to see you
[A#m6/9] [G9#11] [C9]

[Am9] [Cm6/9]
Oh, what a curse it is to be in love
Bridge
[Gmaj7] [Cm6]
I wait by the phone like a high school movie
[Gmaj7] [Cm6]
Dream at the shows, you'll come running to me
Think I see you in the wings, God I'm hallucinating
Chorus
[Am9] [D9]
What a reckless fever, love-struck girl, I'd tease her
[Gmaj7]
Thought I'd never be her
[E7(b13)]
Quite the job you've done on me, sir
[Fmaj7#11] [C13]
You've been hosting parties in my mind

Verse 1
[D] [Dmaj7] [Em7]
Can't help but notice all of the ways
[Aadd4] [D] [Dmaj7]
In which I failed myself, I failed the world all the same
[D] [Dmaj7] [Em7]
I don't think I'm pretty, it's not up for debate
[Aadd4] [D]
A woman's best currency's her body, not her brain
Chorus

They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong
[Aadd4] [Dmaj7]
But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along
[D6] [Bmadd9] [Em7]
The world is a sick place, at least for a girl
[Aadd4]
The people want beauty, skinny always wins
[D] [A7/C#] [Bm] [Bm7]
And I don't have enough of it

[D] [Dmaj7] [Em7]
Sometimes I see her, she looks like Snow Whitе
[Aadd4] [D] [Dmaj7]
She's everything I am, but my wrongs arе turned to rights
[D] [Dmaj7] [Em7]
Her body is smaller, skin is so fair
[Aadd4]
She's achieved everything I've dreamed of
[F#]
And it's all that I can think of
Chorus
[Dmaj7] [Bmadd9] [Em7]
They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong
[Aadd4] [Dmaj7]
But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along

The world is a sick place, at least for a girl

Intro
[D]
Verse 1
[D] [Dmaj7]
I racked my brain, spent hours and days
[Gmaj7]
I still can't figure it out
[Em7]
What happened that year in our house?
[G] [Gm]
Still learning to live without you
[D] [Dmaj7] [Gmaj7] [Gm]
I wonder what you tell your friends, which version of our fairy story?
[Em7] [G] [Gm]
The one where you walk out in glory, or the night I moved out in a hurry
[G] [Gm]
Or the night I moved out in a hurry
Chorus
[D]
I think about you always
[G]
Tied together with a string
[Gm] [D]
I thought that lilies died by winter, then they bloomed again in spring
It's a heartbreak
[G]
Marked the end of our girlhood
[Gm] [D]
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood
Verse 2
[D] [Dmaj7]
Thirty months have come and gone
[Gmaj7]
I'm dating the boy that we dreamed of
[Em7]
I wish I could tell him about us
[G] [Gm]
I wish I could tell you how I finally fell in love
[D] [Dmaj7] [Gmaj7]
There's not a single day where I didn't wish we were better
[Em7]
That I couldn't borrow your sweater
[G] [Gm]
We were meant to be forever and ever
Chorus
[D]
I think about you always
[G]
Tied together with a string
[Gm] [D]
I thought that lilies died by winter, then they bloomed again in spring
It's a heartbreak
[G]
Marked the end of our girlhood
[Gm] [Bm]
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood
Bridge
[Bm] [F#+/Bb]
I wish you well, I wish like hell
[D/A] [G#dim7]
You hadn't lied, we could be fine
[Bm] [F#+/Bb]
The way I dress, over-obsessed
[D/A] [G#dim7]
Still just like you, I owe it to
[G] [Gm]
The best-worst friend I've ever had
Chorus
[D]
I think about you always
[G]
Tied together with a string
[Gm] [D]
I thought that lilies died by winter, then they bloomed again in spring
My first heartbreak

Marked the end of our girlhood
[Gm]
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood

I've been falling in bad habits
Staring into the abyss

Drowning in red wine and sniffing cinnamon

We've been kissing on the playground

Acting like little kids

Making dirty jokes and getting away with it

Fell in love on a whim

Now we pirouette in fields of rosy sin

CAPO: 3
Verse 1
[G] [Gmaj7] [Em7] [Cm/D#]
The whole town is talking 'bout how you've fallen in love
[G] [Gmaj7] [Em7]
I read in the papers he's someone that girls dream about
[Cm/D#] [G] [Gmaj7]
Some kind of ruler on top of a kingdom
[Em7] [Cm/D]
I'm just a jester, I'll never be him
[G/D]
Last night you called to me
[D7sus4]
It almost killed me
Chorus
[G]
To hear you scream my name
[Gmaj7]
Your smile still kills the same
[Cmaj7]
I almost turned around
[Cm]
You chased me to the ground
[G]
You asked me how I've been
[Gmaj7]
But how do I begin
[Cmaj7]
To tell you I should've chased
[Cm]
You 'cross every single state?
[G/D]
I lay down my sword for fate
[Cm/D#] N.C.
'Cause it's too little, way too late
Verse 2
[G] [Gmaj7] [G6] [Cm6/G]
I didn't need the reminder of things I've done wrong
[G] [Gmaj7] [G6] [Cm6/G]
Of promises broken, fragility hidden in song
[G] [Gmaj7]
Guess that we're soulmates in different lifetimes
[C/G] [Cm6/G]
What if you leave him? Throw me a lifetime
[G/D] [C#dim7]
I know that you're happy
[Cm6]
But it just killed me
Chorus
[G]
To hear you scream my name
[Gmaj7]
A clear fucking x-ray
[Cmaj7]
Of if I'd stuck around
[Cm]
I swear to God I almost drowned
[G]
You asked me how I've been
[Gmaj7]
But how could I begin
[Cmaj7]
To tell you I should've chased you
[Cm6]
I should be who you're engaged to?
Bridge
[G/D]
Lost my fight with fate
[Cm/D#]
A tug-of-war of leave and stay
[Em]
I give in, I abdicate
[G6/F]
I lay my sword down anyway
[Em]
I'll see you at Heaven's gate
[Cm/D#] [G] [Gmaj9] [Cmaj7]
'Cause it's too little, way too late
Outro
[Cm] [G] [Gmaj9] [Cmaj7]

But I'm reading it just fine

You think you're so misunderstood

The black cat of your neighborhood

Tough luck, my boy, your time is up

I’ll break it first, I've had enough

You say I’d never understand

The things that make a man a man

Verse 1
[Gadd2] [Em7] [C6] [Dadd4]
Oh, heavens, hear my story, a cautionary tale
[Gadd2] [Em7] [C6] [Dadd4]
Of how I came to be loved, and how it came to fail
[Am7] [Em] [C6] [Dadd4]
A first time for lovers, a first time in agony
[Am7] [Em] [C6] [Dadd4]
The truths you will uncover will knock you on your knees
Chorus
[Em] [C6] [G]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
[Dadd4]
I lost sight of all my dignity
[Em] [C6] [G]
I've always been smart, my chameleon heart
[Dadd4] [Em] [C6]
Took your draining personality and gave it to me
[G] [D] [Am]
I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime
[Em] [C6]
My heart to you handed, you took it for granted
[Dadd4] [Gadd2] [Em7] [Cadd9] [Dadd4]
And made me the villain, all alone
Verse 2
[Gadd2] [Em7]
I struggled through the winter
[Cadd9] [Dadd4]
Found cheat codes to your soul
[Gadd2] [Em7]
Was born to be a giver
[Cadd9] [Dadd4]
Destined to pay the toll
Chorus
[Em] [C6] [G]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
[Dadd4]
I lost sight of all my dignity
[Em] [C6] [G]
I've always been smart, my chameleon heart
[Dadd4] [Em] [C6]
Took your draining personality and gave it to me
[G] [D] [Am]
I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime
[Em] [C6]
My heart to you handed, you took it for granted
[Dadd4]
And made me the villain
Bridge
[G] [Em] [Cmaj7] [D6]
Oh, inside you, there's a guiltless child who never saw his mother smile
[G] [Em] [Cmaj7] [D6]
A boy who had no sense of home, believes he's better off alone
[Em] [Cmaj7] [G] [D] [B7/D#]
Who coils up in jealousy to mask his insecurities
[Em] [Cmaj7] [A] [C] [D]
And I can't fix you, God, I tried, the hourglass I shattered just in time
Outro
[Em] [C6] [G]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
[D]
I lost sight of all my dignity
[Em] [C6] [G]
One more lover fails, cautionary tales
[D]
Continue to happen to me

Verse 1
[Bb7(#11)] [Am7] [E9] [Am7] [E9]
Such a terrible idea, worst one I've had all this year
[Am7] [E9] [Am7] [E9]
But I can't ignore our obvious attraction
[Am7] [E9] [Am7] [E9]
I imagine how it ends, up in flames, or go again
[Am7] [E9] [Ammaj9] [Am6]
Seeking chaos, can't help giving into passion

Called me stupid as a mindless joke, he hypnotized me as we spoke

Purely mythological, with the ugliest soul

You would think he's holding me for ransom

Bridge
[Bb7(#11)] [Am7]
Made it to the final hour
But the wine begins to sour
[E9]
And I'm seeing myself in a dreadful fashion
[Am7] [E9]
And the fog begins to clear
[Am7] [E9]
As I'm gasping at clean air
[Am7] [E9] [Ammaj9] [Am7]
I remember how together, we're so handsome
Chorus

'Cause there's something so vexing 'bout you

Just some far-sought silhouette
[G13]*
A journey that I'll one day dread
[Cmaj7]
I'm caught up in a web
[Am9] [Dm11] [G13]*
I'm blinded by you, that's just how I get (The pendulum swings back around)
[Cmaj7]
That's just how I get (I need more tempo)

I don't smoke cigarettes

Don't do things I'll regret
