(Intro) Fmaj7 F Eb7 [Verse 1]
Fmaj7                        F7
Always felt like I needed to please her, or impress her

Bbmaj7                              Bbm
Though only in the hope that one day I would undress her

Fmaj7
Don't be offended

F7                                      Bbmaj7
You think I'm 'bout to tell you that "I love you"

                      Bb            Bbm
But I really, really, really fucking don't

F
See the months of obsession

               A
And crying for hours

Dm7                    Cm7         F7      Bbmaj7
I even started sitting down in the shower, girl

     Bb                C7
I'll take my time on my own

                           Fmaj7 Bb
And I'll be fine now I'm alone

F                               F7
 Constantly told stories with a stretch of the truth

       Bbmaj7                                 Bbdim
Trying hard to make memories to remember from youth

       Fmaj7                  F7
Desperately wanting you to be interested too

         Bbmaj7
It's not clear what I need yet

         Bb             Am
But it's clear it's not you

            Fmaj7                                C              A7
Here's what I'd say to any young man that's still interested in you

       Dm7                         G7 Cm7
Do you prioritise the things in your life

                            F7
The things that you hope to do?

Bbmaj7
  'Cause if not then

           Bb     B7    C7
Mate you'd better trust me when I tell you that
It's not worth forgetting about yourself [Outro] Because of one fucking girl
F                                       A7
She may seem perfect, and gorgeous, and lovely

Dm7
You'll think she likes you

Cm7                  F7
I mean I thought she loved me, no

    Bbmaj7
But no

C
Neither of us will get down from the shelf
The only one she loves is herself
