Chords

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.

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            E
Could you love this?

E               B      (B7)    C#m
Will this one be right?

C#m/B#   C#m/B     C#m/A#
Well if I’m being honest,

A            B   (B7)
I’m hoping it might.

E        A
Could you love this?

E              B       (B7)    C#m
Did you plan to fall?

C#m/B#   C#m/B    C#m/A#
Well if I'm being honest,

   A                      E
Oh I bet it's not that at all.
[Instrumental] E Emaj7 A E Emaj7 A [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]
E        A            E
Could you love this?

E               B      (B7)    C#m
Will this one be right?

C#m/B#   C#m/B    C#m/A#
Well if I’m being honest,

A            B    (B7)
I’m hoping it might.

E        A
Could you love this?

E              B       (B7)    C#m
Did you plan to fall?

Well if I'm being honest,

   A                     B     (B7)
Oh I bet it's not that at all.
