[Verse 1]
C D Em G
And irony is okay, I suppose, culture is to blame
C D Em G
You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way
C D
You lack substance when you say
Em G
Something like, "Oh, what a shame"
C D Em G
It's just a self-referential way that stops you having to be human
C D Em G
I'm assuming you'll balloon when you remove the dirty spoon
C D Em G
And start consuming like a human, that's what I am assuming
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em G
I'm sure that you're not just another girl
C D Em G
I'm sure that you're gonna say that I was sexist
C D Em G
I feel like you're running out of all the things
C D Em
I liked you for
[Chorus]
G C D
Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?
Em G
'Cause it always ends with us hating each other
C D
Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in
Em G
I've just got one more thing to say
[Instrumental]
C D Em G
C D Em G
[Verse 2]
C D
And why would you believe
Em G
You could control how you're perceived
C D
When at your best you're intermediately
Em G
Versed in your own feelings?
C D
Keep on putting off conceiving
Em G
It's only you that you're deceiving
C D Em
Oh, don't have a child, don't cramp your style, I'll leave it
[Chorus]
G C D
Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?
Em G
'Cause it always ends with us hating each other
C D
Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in
Em G
I've just got one more thing to say
[Outro]
C D Em
I'm just pissed off because you pied me off
G C
After your show when you let go of my hand
D Em G
In front of some sket who wanted to bitch
C D Em G
C D Em G
