[Verse 1]
E                             B
It's tough to stay objective baby

                                   F#m
With your tongue abseiling down my neck

                                      A
It's a bullet-proof offer and I can't accept

E                            B
It's tough to maintain focus baby

                                F#m
Now all my elephants are in the room

                                      A
We crave the fiction when we need the truth

A                                           E
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew 

B
Chew
[Chorus]
D
And all these emoticons and words

A
Try to make it better but they only make it worse
[Verse 2]
E                                B
It's tough to feign indifference baby

                                 F#m
Now I'm spending all the money I have

                                          A
Trying to impress you is kinda driving me mad

E                                                      
And I don't blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky

Bm
I blame what happened everytime we're under neon lights

F#m
We crave the tension in a room with a view

A                                           E
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew

B
Chew
[Chorus]
D
And all these emoticons and words

A
Try to make it better but they only make it worse
[Instrumental] E B [Chorus]
D
And all these emoticons and words

A
Fail to make it better their attempts just make it worse
F#m [Verse]
C#m             
It's everything I want

B                                 F#m     
And nothing I can keep

C#m
And behind these metaphors

B                       
I want you literally

F#m                                   A
We crave the fiction when we need the truth

A                                           E
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew

B
Chew
[Chorus]
D
And all these emoticons and words

A
Try to make it better but they only make it worse

[Outro]
E                                  B
But I like it here so much I might stay

                                        F#m
The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful place

                                        A
The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful place
[Ending] E
