[Verse 1]
C5             E5
I don't wanna share the space

C5             E5
I don't wanna force a smile

C5                      E5
This one girl taps my insecurities

C5                                E5
Don't know if it's real or if I'm spiraling

C5                 E5
One voice tells me that they laugh

C5                    E5
George says I'm just paranoid

C5                              E5
Says he just don't see it, he's so naive

C5                                       E5
I'm embarassed to have it, but need the sympathy
[Chorus]
      C               Em           D
Cause I couldn't even be her if I tried

                  G             C
I'm opposite, I'm on the other side

                   Em                D
I feel all these feelings I can't control

       G            C
Oh no, don't know why

              Em             D
All this sympathy is just a knife

                   G                C
Why I can't even grit my teeth and lie?

                    Em                D
I feel all these feelings I can't control

              G
Oh no, don't know
[Verse 2]
C5          E5
Why I wanna buy a gun?

C5          E5
Why I wanna shoot myself?

C5                       E5
Volatilе at war with my dialogue

C5                               E5
I'd say that there was a God if thеy could stop this

C5                 E5
Wild voice tearing me apart

C5              E5
I'm so apprehensive now

C5                                   E5
Don't wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend's show

C5
Fingers crossed behind my back

             E5
I hope they break up quick
[Chorus]
      C               Em           D
Cause I couldn't even be her if I tried

                  G             C
I'm opposite, I'm on the other side

                   Em                D
I feel all these feelings I can't control

       G           C
Oh no, don't know why

              Em             D
All this sympathy is just a knife

                   G                C
Why I can't even grit my teeth and lie?

                    Em                D
I feel all these feelings I can't control (Oh no)
[Outro]
              G             C
All this sympathy is just a knife

               Em             D
All this sympathy is just a knife

               G              C
All this sympathy is just a knife

                   Em               D
Yeah, all this sympathy is just a knife

          G
Oh no, oh no

C                    Em             D
Why is all this sympathy a fucking knife?

                     G             C
Yeah, all this sympathy is just a knife

              Em           D
Couldn't even be her if I tried
N.C Oh no, oh no
