Chords

[Intro] C [Verse 1]
C
 You left your typewriter at my apartment

F
 Straight from the tourtured poets department

C                            F
 I think some things I never say
Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?"
    Am                       G
 But you're in self-sabotage mode

                             C
 Throwing spikes down on the road

                       F
 But I've seen this episode and still love the show

 Am         G
 Who else decodes you?
[Chords]
C                          F
 And who's gonna hold you like me?

C                             F
 And who's gonna know you if not me?
I laughed in your face and said,
Am                        G
 "You're not Dylan Thomas. I'm not Patti Smith.

C                             F
 This ain't the Chelsea Hotel. We're modern idiots."

     Am          G         C
 And who's gonna hold you like me?

   F
 Nobody

            C
 No-fucking-body

    F
 Nobody
[Verse 2]
C
 You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate

F
 We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist

C                               F
 I scratch your head, you fall asleep
Like a tattooed golden retriever
Am                     G                             C
 But you awakened with dread, pounding nails in your head

                    F
 But I've read this one where you come undone

   Am           G
 I chose this cyclone with you
[Chorus]
C                          F
 And who's gonna hold you like me? (Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna hold you?)

C                          F
 And who's gonna know you like me? (Who's gonna know you?)
I laughed in your face and said,
Am                        G
 "You're not Dylan Thomas. I'm not Patti Smith.

C                             F
 This ain't the Chelsea Hotel. We're modern idiots."

     Am          G         C
 And who's gonna hold you like me?
C F C F [Chorus]
C        Am
I didn't come here to make friends

        F          G
We were born to be suburban legends

         C           Am
When you hold me, it holds me together

        F                             G
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

C           Am
I know that you still remember

        F          G
We were born to be national treasures

         C            Am
When you told me we'd get back together

        F                               G
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
[Bridge]
C
 Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me

F
 But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave

C
 And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen

F
 Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be

C               F
 'Cause we're crazy

            C                    F
 So tell me, who else is gonna know me?

    Am                             G
 At dinner you take my ring off my middle finger, and

               C              F
 Put it on the one people put wedding rings on

                Am                   G
 And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding
[Alt Chorus]
C                           F
 And who's gonna hold you? ...Me

C                           F
 And who's gonna know you? ...Me

Am                           G
 And you're not Dylan Thomas. I'm not Patti Smith.

C                             F
 This ain't the Chelsea Hotel. We're two idiots.

 Am          G    C
 Who's gonna hold you?
C F C F [Outro]
C                 Am                      F
 Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block

                                                   C
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it

                   Am                   F
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door

                                            C
You don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined

                 Am                      F
Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block

                                                   C
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it

                   Am                   F
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door

                   G                 C       Am F
You don't knock anymore and I always knew it

G                      C Am F G  C
 That my life would be ruined
[Outro]
Am             G
 You left your typewriter at my apartment

 C                 F
 Straight from the tourtured poets department

Am          G            C   F
 Who else decodes you?

G               C Am F G  C
 And my life is ruined
