|Gmaj9 | % | % | % | Inside my head. D/CD/GD/CD/G So tell me, he doesn't seem your type, D/CGmaj7 but is there something I should know? C9E7sus4/BE7sus4 Don't lie, are you trying to hide G/FFC/FFC/FFC/F that special glow?
Gmaj9 Back then, I know one thing you liked, was my flatline attitude.
You'd think, you'd never fall for this, some total "as if" type of dude. Em7-5/BbAm7Esus4/B Funny little load clicks on...

D/CD/GD/CD/G I get it, you look(s) at me and think, D/CGmaj7 he's ready for Jurassic Park. C9E7sus4/BE7sus4 He's sweet, but it's time to find a G/FFC/FFC/FFC/F keener spark.
Gmaj9 I guess, I'll make my exit now.
Before you twist the knife.
It's best, if I just leave you here
