[Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]
    G                    C G                         C
Well staving off rejection has always hurt like hell

  G                                C
I took the devil's bargain, made a stranger of myself

   Am                            G     C G C
If anything was wrong, I couldn't tell

    G                    C G                         C
So I didn't see you coming but now it's pretty clear

  G                          C
I traded my own wisdom for a jury of my peers

  Am                         G  C
I ignored you for thirty years
[Chorus]
Em7              D
You don't have to tell me

                     C
How hard it must have been

                 Bm
For you to let me in

Em7             D
Nothing lasts forever

            C
Now I understand

             C
I hurt you again

                  G C G C
My quietest friend
[Verse 2]
G                           C G                               C
Fifth grade in the lunchroom, fickle friends are telling jokes

G                                C
Making you the punchline of some random thing I wrote

          Am                               G   C
They were looking to me to land the final blow

G                C G                            C
Just to be included, went straight up to my head

  G                                     C
I thought the joke too stupid for it to matter what I said

      Am                             G C G
I was wrong but I went along with it
[Chorus]
Em7               D
You don't have to tell me

                      C
How hard it must have been

                 Bm
For you to let me in

Em7             D
Nothing lasts forever

            C
Now I understand

            C
I hurt you again

                   G C Em7 D
My quietest friend
[Verse 3]
G        C               Bm
We could write this on reminders

    D
I'd memorize them

G       C              Bm
I could sing them to myself

        D
And whoever's listening

G       C             Bm
I could put them on a record

 D
About my hometown

G       C                Bm
Sitting here with pen and paper

    D            G
I'm listening now
