* The Am7 is optional and even though Will didn't mention it being played, you can hear that in the chords
that play in the left channel during the outro it's briefly strummed once. You don't have to play it, but
it adds a nice element to the progression.
[Intro]
Em Emadd4/F# G Cmaj7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em Emadd4/F# I am not allowed to have feelings G Cmaj7 Feelings would complicate this Em Emadd4/F# I'm a stupid ugly stuttering asshole G Cmaj7 And there's no dignity in my anger Em Emadd4/F# Mind if I cough in your ear all night? G Cmaj7 Mind if I resent you for a year tonight? Em Emadd4/F# I am not the type of man G Cmaj7 Who can fall asleep in someone else's arms
Em Emadd4/F# G Cmaj7 (x2)
[Bridge 1]
Em Emadd4/F# G Didn't mean to lie, not at all Cmaj7 I love you sometimes
I love you
Em But it's hard to say Emadd4/F# G There are times when I don't love Cmaj7 Em I can't love anything in this world Emadd4/F# I want you to know G I want you to know Cmaj7 I want you to know Em That I'm (awake) Emadd4/F# But I hope G That you're Cmaj7 G C I hope that you're a(sleep)
G C (x3)
C D6add4/F# G Am Am7* (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em Emadd4/F# It doesn't matter what I say G Cmaj7 Em If you don't say anything in response Emadd4/F# The final phrase of my last sentence G C Hangs in the air, sounding stupider and stupider Em Emadd4/F# Why can't you at least laugh G C I tried so hard to find the right words Em Emadd4/F# G It's a matter of timing, you only have so long Cmaj7 Em To capture the feeling before it's gone
E Emadd4/F# G Cmaj7
[Bridge 2]
Em Emadd4/F# Here is a demo of my latest sentence G Cmaj7 I'll fill in the good parts later Em Emadd4/F# I'll make it fit together real nice G Cmaj7 Em And cut out all the likes
[Verse 3]
Emadd4/F# Two days ago was really bad G Cmaj7 Em I couldn't get my head straight all day Emadd4/F# And everything you said seemed to have an edge G Cmaj7 You were disappointed and I didn't know why Em Emadd4/F# Eventually it came to a head G Cmaj7 Over something as stupid as making coffee Em Emadd4/F# You said it was a mistake to ever try and help me G Cmaj7 Then you went in the kitchen Em Emadd4/F# I drove off to go buy some stuff G Cmaj7 Which was a mistake because Em Emadd4/F# I didn't want to come back G Cmaj7 I just sat in the parking lot Em Emadd4/F# And dabbed at my thumb, which was bleeding for some reason G Cmaj7 Leaving a trail of red blossoms on the napkin Em Emadd4/F# I felt sick and I didn't know what to do G Cmaj7 How long would it be before I could face you?
Em Emadd4/F# G Cmaj7 (x2)
[Bridge 3]
Flash back to
Em Emadd4/F# The first angry song I had to hide from you G It goes like this Cmaj7 I am hiding from you at the G C Q F C (x3)
G C
C D6add4/F# G Am Am7* (x4)
[Outro]
