[Intro] D D/C# D Gadd#11 [Verse 1]
    D            D/C#       E                         D            D/C#    Gadd#11
The first time I tasted somebody else's spit, I had a coughing fit

     D        D/C#               E
I mistakenly called them by your name

          D        D/C#       Gadd#11
I was let down, it wasn't the same

          D D/C# E                            D    D/C#
I'm doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind

  Gadd#11                            D
Regaining my self-worth in record time

 D/C#       E                       D          D/C#          Gadd#11
But I can't help but think of your other in the bed that was mine

       D     D/C#           E                         D
Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth

 D/C#                Gadd#11
Call you a bitch and leave?

          D           D/C#                E
Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet?

             D                D/C#              Gadd#11
What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?
[Chorus]
D                    D/C#
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well

D                    Gadd#11
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt

D          D/C#        E
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down

Gadd#11                F#
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
[Instrumental Break] D E D Gadd#11 [Verse 2]
      D  D/C#     E                D    D/C#          Gadd#11
Don't hold your breath, forget you ever saw me at my best

           D         D/C#          E
You don't deserve what you don't respect

                        D              D/C#   Gadd#11
Don't deserve what you say you love and then neglect

    D D/C#    E                D            D/C#    Gadd#11
Now bite your tongue, it's too dangerous to fall so young

                   D    D/C#
Take back what you said

E                   D  D/C#    Gadd#11
Can't lose what you never had
[Chorus]
D                      D/C#
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well

D                    Gadd#11
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt

D          D/C#        E
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down

Gadd#11                F#                   D    D/C#    A
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
[Refrain]
A                                  D
You got a 9 to 5, so I'll take the night shift

     E                                A
And I'll never see you again if I can help it

                                          D
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers

F         E       A
Dedicated to new lovers
