Chords

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

F
Straight from the tortured poets department

C
I think some things I never say

F
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 loved the show

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

C                              F
And who's gonna know you, if not me?

F
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?
[Post-Chorus]
  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
I scratch your head, you fall asleep

F
Like a tattooed golden retriever

Am
But you awaken with dread

G
Pounding nails in your head

C                   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?

C                              F
And who's gonna know you, if not me?

F
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?
[Post-Chorus]
  F
Nobody

           C
No-fucking-body

  F
Nobody
[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

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

               Am                    G
And that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding
[Bridge]
C
What do you tell your friends we

F
Had dinners, long weekends with?

C
Truth is, I can't pretend it's

F
Platonic, it's just ended, so
[Chorus]
Am
I call my mom, she said to get it off my chest

F
Remind myself the more I gave you'd want me less

C                                                     G
I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost

                                    C
And what it cost, now that we don't talk

                  G
Now that we don't talk

C                         F
Who's gonna hold you like me?

                  C
Now that we don't talk

                           F
Who's gonna know you if not me?

                  Am
Now that we don't talk

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

                  F
Now that we don't talk

                  C
Now that we don't talk

        G
Now we don't talk

                  C
Now that we don't talk
[Outro]
C
I don't have to pretend I like acid rock

F
Or that I'd like to be on a mega yacht

C
With important men who think important thoughts

F
I guess that I am better off now that we don't talk

Am
And the only way back to my dignity

G
Was to turn into a shrouded mystery

C
Just like I had been when you were chasing me

F                           G                     C
Guess this is how it has to be now that we don't talk
