G                              Bm7
Just the other day, I felt you treatin' me some type of way

  Em                               C
I swear I saw it on your face, but I guess that wasn't the case

 G                              Bm7
Stories show I made a move, but all I did was make a fool

    Em                             N.C.
Out of myself, it wasn't cool, the feelin' wasn't mutual, yeah
[Chorus]
G           Bm7
 I played myself, I'll admit it

      Em                      C
I got lost in my imagination, didn't read the situation

G              Bm7
 It ain't your fault, I get it

         Em                         C
You were bein' nice and I was bein' so in love with you
[Post-Chorus] | G | Bm7 | Em | C | [Verse 2]
     G                 Bm7
Yeah, I ain't tryna be alpha, but I beta be with ya

Em                                C
 That's what I told her 'fore she gave me the cold shoulder, mm-mm

G                            Bm7
 I've been gеttin' so sick of never bein' thе sigma

Em                           C
 That's what I get for never bein' hard-to-get, yeah, yeah

G                              Bm7
Just the other day, I felt you treatin' me some type of way

     Em                                  C
Felt somethin' shift in our embrace, but I guess that wasn't the case

G                              Bm7
Maybe it was just a phase when you said, "I see us one day"

  Em                                   C
I tried so hard to not get played, but here I wound up anyway
[Chorus]
G           Bm7
 I played myself, I'll admit it

      Em                      C
I got lost in my imagination, didn't read the situation

G              Bm7
 It ain't your fault, I get it

         Em                         C
You were bein' nice and I was bein' so in love with you
[Post-Chorus]
G                  Bm7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

                Em
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

C
So in love with you

G                  Bm7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

                Em                     C
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
G                   Bm7                      Em
 Always an opportunity to grow in some humility

                       C                            G
Got hit with hard reality, now I'll become a better me

                    Bm7                    Em
I set myself up for failure, and that's on me

                            C                        N.C.
All of the signs, they were clear, just chose not to see, yeah
[Chorus]
G           Bm7
 I played myself, I'll admit it

      Em                           N.C.
I got lost inside my own ambition, told myself that we were clickin'

G              Bm7
 It ain't your fault, I get it

         Em                         C
You were bein' nice and I was bein' so in love with you
[Outro]
G   Bm7   Em   C               N.C.
           I'm so in love with you
