[Verse 1: H.E.R.]
[Bbm7] [Eb]
Passive, past it, I've been thinking 'bout mad shit
[Gbmaj7] [Ab] [Eb] [Ebm]
Happened, action, baby, we never lasted
[Bbm7] [Bbm] [Gm] [Gbmaj7]
Magic, madness, maybe you was just gassin'
[Eb] [Ebm]
But it was better than I imagined
[Bbm7] [Fm7] [Eb]
Drastic acting, to you it was just practice
[F7] [Fm7]
Sadness, mask it, hated you with a passion
[Bbm7] [G7] [Gb] [Gbmaj7]
Had it, granted, baby, I didn't cap it
[Bbm7]
'Cause it was better than I imagined
[Chorus: H.E.R.]
[Eb] [Gbmaj7]
Thought it'd be worse 'cause it hurts me
[Eb] [Ebm] [Bbm7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7]
But still, I can't see myself with no one else
[Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7] [Eb]
'Cause it was better than I imagined

[Fm7] [Eb]
Trust me, love me, no one could ever makе you
[Gbmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Fm] [Bbm7]
Stay true, hate to say it, but it's too late
[G7] [G] [Gbmaj7]
My еxpectation's too low, you can't relate to
[Eb] [Ebm7]
Baby, but I don't blame you
[Bbm7] [Eb]
Baby, you were the one I always escaped to
[Gbmaj7] [Eb7] [Ebm7]
Dated to replace you, maybe I'm just afraid to
[Bbm7] [Eb7] [Gbmaj7] [Ebmaj7]
Phone you, need you to tell me if it's okay to
[Ebm7]
Is it okay?
[Chorus: H.E.R.]
[Bbm7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7]
I thought it'd be worse 'cause it hurts me
[Ebmaj7] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Eb] [Gb] [Gbmaj7]
But still, I can't see myself with no one else
[Eb] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7] [Eb7]
'Cause it was better than I imagined
[Bbm7] [Eb] [Gb] [Gbmaj7]
Better than I imagined
[Eb] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7]

[Verse 3: Meshell Ndegéocello]
[Eb7]
Yeah, hey, um
[Gbmaj7] [Ab] [Bbm7]
On the scramble to get a flight, I lost my phone
[Eb]
I'm calling you from the hotel phone
[Gb7] [Eb] [Ebm7] [Bbm] [Fm7] [Ebm] [Eb7] [Gbmaj7]
I couldn't get a flight back to the States
[Bmaj7] [Bbm7] [Abm7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Ebm7]
I realize you're the only number I know by heart
[Gbmaj7] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Bb7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7]
Last time I was here, we were together, remember?
[Eb7] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Eb]
I tried to tell you how I felt
[Gbmaj7] [Ebm7] [Bbm7]
"I-," then you stopped me
[Ebm] [Eb] [Gbmaj7] [Ebmaj7] [Ebm7]
And you said, "Don't ruin it
[Bbm7] [Eb7] [Gbmaj7] [Eb7] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Eb7] [Gbmaj7]
'Cause this is better than I could have ever imagined"
[Eb7] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Ebm] [Gbmaj7]
I hope you're okay staying inside
[Ebmaj7] [Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Ebm7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7] [Ebmaj7]
I hope you're not lonely
[Ebm7] [Bbm7] [Ebm7] [Eb] [Gbmaj7] [Ebm7]
And I'll call again, maybe you'll answer
[Bbm7] [Eb7] [Gbmaj7] [Eb7] [Ebm7]
