Chords

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
I know a girl, she's like a curse

F
We want each other, no one will break first

Am
So many nights, trying to find someone new

Dm/F
They don't mean nothing compared to her, and I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off

F
I don't know why we act like it means nothing at all

Am
I wish that I could tell you that you're all that I want, yeah
Dm/F [Chorus]
Cmaj7
I pretend that

F
I'm not ready

          Am
Why do we put each other through hell?

             Dm/F
Why can't we just get over ourselves?

    Cmaj7
And you say "hi" like

F
You just met me

Why do we put each other through hell?

Why can't we just get over ourselves?

Cmaj7
When I hear you sing, it gets hard to breathe

F
Can't help but think every song's about me

    Am
And every line, every word that I write

Dm/F
You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
Don't wanna ask about it 'cause you might brush it off

F
I'm afraid you think that it means nothing at all

Am
I don't know why I won't admit that you're all I want
Dm/F [Chorus]
