Notes:
I like to play the
intro like this to make it
sound more like the song:
E
e|--(0)---------------|--(0)---------------|
B|---0----------------|---0----------------|
G|---1----------------|---1----------------|
D|---2-----2----------|---2-----2----------|
A|---2--2-----2-------|---2--2-----2-------|
E|---0----------------|---0----------------|
Emaj7 A
e|--(0)---------------|---0--2--0----------|
B|---0----------------|---2----------------|
G|---1----------------|---2----------------|
D|---1-----1----------|---2----------------|
A|---2--2-----2-------|---0----------------|
E|---0----------------|--------------------|
I use my thumb to strum the E and Emaj7, and
then I use my thumb and first finger
to pluck the A and D string. On the A,
I use my first finger to pluck the e string.
You could also apply this pattern to
different parts of the song, like the chorus.
All chords are relative to the capo.
Chords in parentheses are optional.

[Verse]
E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 A
I was told this is where I will start loving myself
E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 A
Flirting's delicious; proved to be beneficial for mental health
E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 A
All of my best bits pulled forward, collected, displayed
E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 E7
Sadly I just think that I was disgusting, today
[Pre-Chorus]
Am E E7
You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon,
Am E E7
I'm left a stuttering teen.
Am E E7
How did I get here? It's all so quick, and I feel sick.
Am B (B7)
Red pushing down on the green..
[Chorus]
E A Am E
Could you love this?
E B (B7) C#m
Will this one be right?
C#m E7 Edim7 A
Well if I’m being honest,
A B (B7)
I’m hoping it might.
E A Am
Could you love this?
E B (B7) C#m
Did you plan to fall?
C#m E7 Edim7
Well if I'm being honest,
A Am E
Oh I bet it's not that at all.

[Verse 2]
E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 A
Hope has a cost: keeping all fingers crossed and held tight
E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 A
But I look idiotic, with my limbs all knotted, don't feel right
E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 A
Truly you've shaken me, and I think you like how I plead
E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 E7
But I have a hunch, that that's all you wanted from me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am E E7
You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon,
Am E E7
Holding my breath makes me choke.
Am E E7
How did I get here? It's all so quick, and I feel sick.
Am B (B7)
I’m used to being a joke.
[Chorus]

Could you love this?

Will this one be right?

Oh I bet it's not that at all.
