Letter To An Old Poet chords by Boygenius

• Difficulty: Beginner

🎸 Intro:

F



🎸 Verse 1:
                     C
I said I think you're special
                      F
You told me once that I'm selfish
                 G
And I kissed you hard
                    F
In the dark, in the closet
                    C
You said my music is mellow
                 F
Maybe I'm just exhausted
                        G
You think you're a good person
                                  F
Because you won't punch me in the stomach

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    F   C      G
And I love you
             F
I don't know why
         Am  Em    F
I just do, oh, but


🎸 Chorus:
           C               G
You're not special, you're evil
F                        Am       Em
 You don't get to tell me to calm down
F                         C  G
 You made me feel like an equal
F                    Am
 But I'm better than you
    Em                      F
And you should know that by now
         C             G
When you fell down the stairs
F                  Am         Em
 It looked like it hurt and I wasn't sorry
F              C        G
 I should have left you right there
F               Am      Em           F
 With your hostages, my heart and my car keys
C         G
You don't know me


🎸 Bridge:
F           C
 I wanna be happy
         F                C         G              Dm
I'm ready to walk into my room without lookin' for you
     F            C          G
I'll go up to the top of our building
Dm      F         Am         Em                F
  And remember my dog when I see the full moon


🎸 Outro:
F       C    G  F
I can't feel it yet
    C    G   F
But I am waiting
