Intro
Gm Eb Bb F


Verse 1
Gm               Eb
Haunted by these ghosts inside
   Bb       F
Of my glass house
Gm                 Eb
Pull me in, lead me on, let me down
      Bb     F
And I wonder how
Gm             Eb
Was I dumb and naïve to believe
         Bb                 F
That you wanted me? Can you tell me please?
Gm                  Eb
Did you know at the time it was lies
       Bb       F
Comin' out your mouth when


Chorus
Gm             Eb
You said I was beautiful
Bb                      F
That your emotions were available, yeah, the
Gm                Eb
Long nights, long flights, you were feelin' it
Bb                       F
Then you promised that I wasn't an experiment
Gm                    Eb
You said you've never done this before
Bb                   F
Same breath said you want this for sure
Gm                 Eb
So I said, "Can we go to bed?" and
Bb                F
You said, "Can we just be friends?"


Interlude
Gm Eb Bb F


Verse 2
Gm                  Eb
It was words on the phone, now it's real
           Bb     F
And you're not so bold (Hmm-mm)
Gm               Eb
Pour a glass all alone, make a toast
     Bb        F
To a love gone cold (Love so cold)
Gm                Eb
They say insanity is to do something
Bb                        F
About a million times and hope it comes out differently
Gm                 Eb
I guess that I'm insane
Bb*          F*
Are you entertained? 'Cause


Chorus
Gm             Eb
You said I was beautiful
Bb                      F
That your emotions were available, yeah, the
Gm                Eb
Long nights, long flights, you were feelin' it
Bb                       F
Then you promised that I wasn't an experiment
Gm                    Eb
You said you've never done this before
Bb                   F
Same breath said you want this for sure
Gm                 Eb
So I said, "Can we go to bed?" and
Bb*                F
You said, "Can we just be friends?"


Bridge
Eb                  Bb
I know that I ain't perfect
         Gm
But it's hurtin'
                  F                                    Eb
'Cause this ain't turnin' out the way it's supposed to be
                       Bb
Hardest pill that I've swallowed
          Gm
Leaves me hollow
         F                               Eb     Bb
'Cause I think we see each other differently-yy-yy

But


Outro
Gm                  Eb
You said I was your everything
Bb                              F
That you were done with her and wanted me, yeah, your
Gm          Eb
Brown eyes, white lies had to ruin it
N.C.
Thought you promised that I wasn't an experiment (Oh)
Gm                       Eb
Shoulda known, I've been through this before (Oh)
Bb                              F
You fuck around and then you go back to her
Gm                   Eb
I try my best, but I can't pretend that
Bb                   F
After this, we could ever be
Gm  Eb                        Bb  F
Friends (No, I don't wanna be friends)
                     Gm  Eb
No, I don't wanna be friends (Woah)
Bb               F         Gm
I said, "I don't wanna be, friends"
