[Intro] D Em (x3) [Verse]
    D
You kissed me on the forehead

          Em
Now these kisses give me consussion

D
We were love at first sight

         Em
Now this crush is crushing

  F#m                                              Em
I retraced your steps through the city of romance lazily

  F#m
I took to the desert with your harshest words

         Em
And they saved me

     D                        Em
I'll bail you out again; I've got the readies

    D                         Em
I'm not a child; I know we're not going steady

     F#m
Your pain's gigantic

                       Em
But not as big as your ego

  F#m
I promise not to abandon you

              Em
Please let me go
[Interlude] D Em (x2) [Verse]
  D
I harbored worried feelings

               Em
Like they were worth protecting

    D
You say I'm too kind and sentimental

               Em
Like you could catch affection

        F#m
In your eyes there's a sadness enough

                   Em
To kill the both of us

          F#m
Are those eyes overrated?

                                Em
They make me want to give up on love

     D
I'll brace myself for the loneliness

            Em
Say hello to feeling that I detest

     D
This maudlin carrer must come to an end

        Em
I don't want to be sad again

      D
This maudlin career must come to an end

        Em
I don't want to be sad again

      D
This maudlin career must come to an end

        Em
I don't want to be sad again

      D
This maudlin career must come to an end

I don't want to be sad again
