John Michael Howell – Played Myself (Guitar)

G
Just the other day

           Bm7
I felt you treating me some type of way

  Em
I swear I saw it on your face

    C
But I guess that wasn't the case

G
Story short, I made a move

    Bm7                           Em
But all I did was make a fool out of myself

                    C
It wasn't cool, the feeling wasn't mutual, yeah

G            Bm7
  I played myself, I'll admit it

      Em
I got lost in my imagination

C
Didn't read the situation

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

         Em
You were being nice

                C               G  Bm7 Em C
And I was being so in love with you

     G                 Bm7
Yeah, I ain't tryna be alpha

                   Em
But I beta be with ya, that's what I told her

          C
'Fore she gave me the cold shoulder, hmm

    G                            Bm7
Hmm, I've been getting so sick of never being the sigma

Em
  That's what I get

          C
For never being hard to get, yeah yeah yeah

G                             Bm7
Just the other day I felt you treating me some type of way

     Em
Felt something shift in our embrace

    C
But I guess that wasn't the case

G
Maybe it was just a phase

     Bm
When you said "I see us one day"

  Em
I tried so hard to not get played

    C
But here I wind up anyway

G            Bm7
  I played myself, I'll admit it

      Em
I got lost in my imagination

C
Didn't read the situation

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

         Em
You were being nice

                C               G  Bm7 Em C
And I was being so in love with you

Em              G  Bm7 Em C
So in love with you

G                    Bm7                      Em
  Always an opportunity to grow in some humility

                       C
Got hit with hard reality

                         G
Now I'll become a better me

                    Bm7
I set myself up for failure

              Em
And that's on me, all of the signs

          C                        N.C.
They were clear, just chose not to see, yeah

G            Bm7
  I played myself, I'll admit it

      Em
I got lost inside my own ambition

C
Told myself that we were clicking

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

         Em
You were being nice

                C               G  Bm7 Em
And I was being so in love with you

    C               N.C.
I'm so in love with you
