Chords

[Verse 1]
    G   Em    D
Was any of it true?

G     Em   D
Gazing at me starry-eyed

         G        Em     D
In your Jehovah's Witness suit

G        Em      D
Who the fuck was that guy?

    G         Em      D
You tried to buy some pills

G       Em       D
From a friend of friends of mine

G        Em     D
They just ghosted you

    G        Em      D
Now you know what it feels like
[Chorus 1]
C                Em                    G
And I don't even want you back, I just want to know

C             Em                        G
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

C                Em                     G
And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give

C                Em               G
A message to the smallest man who ever lived?
[Verse 2]
C                         Am                             G
 Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames

         G
 If we know the steps anyway?

C                 Am                           G
 We embroided the memories of the time I was away

             G
 Stitching "we were just kids, babe"

F                    Am
 I said "I don't mind. It takes time."

G                 G
 I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed

F             Am         G         G
 I felt a glow like this, never before, and never since
[Chorus 2]
C                Em                    G
And I don't even want you back, I just want to know

C             Em                        G
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

C                Em                     G
And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give

C                Em               G
A message to the smallest man who ever lived?
[Chorus 3]
              G                 G
 You lowdown boy, you stand up guy

            F
 You holy ghost

             Am                    G
 You told me I'm the love of your life

G                           C    Am
 Said I'm the love of your life
[Verse 3]
G           Em      D
You hung me on your wall

G          Em        D
Stabbed me with your push pins

G          Em        D
In public, showed me off

     G       Em      D
Then sank in stoned oblivion

       C          Em        D
'Cause once your queen had come

    G         Em      D
You treat her like an also-ran

     C     G       D
You didn't measure up

    C  G       D
In any measure of a man
[Chorus 4]
           F                  Am
 You cinephile in black and white

             G                  G
 All those plot twists and dynamite

                 F                  Am
 Mr. Steal Your Girl then make her cry

                            G    G
 Said I'm the love of your life
[Bridge 1]
Dm                             C
 You shit talked me under the table

                             F
 Talking rings and talking cradles

                     G
 I wish I could unrecall

                      Dm
 How we almost had it all

                          C
 Dancing phantoms on the terrace

                        F
 Are they secondhand embarrassed

                          G
 That I can't get out of bed

                               C
 'Cause something counterfeit's dead?
[Verse 4]
Am                G
 It was legendary

G                 C
 It was momentary

Am
 It was unnecessary

   G
 Should've let it stay buried

G                    F
 Oh, what a valiant roar

                  Am
 What a bland goodbye

              G               G
 The coward claimed he was a lion

                 F                  Am
 I'm combing through the braids of lies

             G            G
 I'll never leave, never mind

                F                 Am
 Our field of dreams engulfed in fire

               G                 G
 Your arson's match, your somber eyes

                 F              Am
 And I'll still see it until I die

                      G     G
 You're the smallest man who ever lived
[Chorus 5]
C                Em                    G
And I don't even want you back, I just want to know

C             Em                        G
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

C                Em                     G
And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give

C                Em               G
A message to the smallest man who ever lived?
[Bridge 2]
                 G                      Em
Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?

                     D                   C
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?

                   G                             Em
Were you writing a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy?

                      D                     C
In fifty years, will all this be declassified?

                            G
And you'll confess why you did it

                 Em
And I'll say, "Good riddance"

                  D                     C
'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden

                          G
I would've died for your sins

                      Em
Instead, I just died inside

                 D                         C
And you deserve prison, but you won't get time

                 G                             Em
You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars

                D                    C
You crashed my party and your rental car

                           G
You said normal girls were boring

                         Em
But you were gone by the morning

                    D
You kicked out the stage lights

                   C
But you're still performing

                       G
And in plain sight you hid

                      Em
But you are what you did

                D                       C
And I'll forget you, but I'll never forgive
[Verse 5]
              G               G
 The coward claimed he was a lion

                 F                  Am
 I'm combing through the braids of lies

             G            G
 I'll never leave, never mind

                F                 Am
 Our field of dreams engulfed in fire

               G                 G
 Your arson's match, your somber eyes

                 F              Am
 And I'll still see it until I die

                      G     G
 You're the loss of my life
[Outro]
    G   Em    D
Was any of it true?

G     Em   D
Gazing at me starry-eyed
G Em D
G        Em      D
Who the fuck was that guy?

G            Em      D
The smallest man who ever lived
