[Intro] Am F Dm F E [Verse 1]
               Am            F
You're hard to hug, tough to talk to

      Dm            F E               Am      F
And I never fall asleep, when you're in my bed

        Dm           F    E
All you give me is a heartbeat

     Am            F
I've turned into a statue

       Dm               F E
And it makes me feel depressed

           Am            F          Dm             F E
'Cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed
[Pre-chorus 1]
    Am                  F
You don't love me, big fucking deal

     Dm             F     E
I'll never tell you how I feel

    Am                 F
You don't love me, not a big deal

     Dm             F     E
I'll never tell you how I feel
[Chorus]
   Am           G              Dm         F E
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part

     Am              G                Dm             F E
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart

             F           C                E            Am G
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role

   F       E                Am    F    Dm    F E
If I can't get the starring role
[Verse 2]
     Am     F              Dm            F E
Sometimes I ignore you, so I feel in control

       Am         F              Dm               F E
'Cause really, I adore you and I can't leave you alone

    Am          F              Dm            F E
Fed up with the fantasies that cover what is wrong

     Am               F                 Dm               F E
Come on, baby, let's just get drunk, forget we don't get on
[Pre-chorus 2]
       Am                 F
You're like my dad, you'd get on well

  Dm                F        E
I send my best, regards from hell
[Chorus]
   Am           G              Dm         F E
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part

     Am              G                Dm             F E
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart

             F           C                E            Am G
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role

   F       E                Am    F    Dm    F E
If I can't get the starring role
[Bridge]
  F              C             Am             G
I never sang for love, I never had a heart to mend

   F               C              Am             G
Because before the start began, I always saw the end

      F                  C          Am               G
Yeah, I wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me

    F              C                Am             G
But nothing's ever gonna give, I'll never set you free

           Am             G
Yeah, I'll never set you free
NC [Chorus]
   Am           G              Dm         F E
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part

     Am              G                Dm             F E
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart

             F           C                E            Am G
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role

   F       E                Am    F    Dm    F E   Am
If I can't get the starring role
