Verse 1:
Cb         Bm      Cb
  Get food, barely eat
Cb                        Bm         Cb   (Bm)
  Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
Cb          Bm    Cb
  I worried, even cried
Fbm                          Fbm           G    (Gb)
   How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
Cb          Bm    Cb
  Bad habit, even worse
Cb                   Bm         Cb   (Bm)
  Fifty-fifty, I’m a sucker for looks
Cb             Bm       Cb
  Asked for it, here it is
Fbm                         Fbm        G
   A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits

Chorus:
               Cb                    Bm Cb
I think you're scared of being basic
Cb                           Bm                  Cb
   That’s ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more
Cb     Bm Cb
  Basic
Fbm                           Cb
   It's not funny, it's so funny
             Cb     Bm Cb
'Cause you're basic
             Cb                           Bm      Cb
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
                Cb           Bm                   Cb
Nothingness won’t change it (Good luck with that, good luck with what )
Fbm                        Fbm G     (Gb)
   It’s not funny, but it's so funny

Verse 2:
Cb
I don’t want your money, I don't care for fame
Cb
  I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
Cb                         Bm               Cb
  I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
Fbm                                         Bm              Cb
 Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
Cb                                    Cb
  It sent me reeling, still not the same
Cb
  It’s like my capacity to love and give has changed
Cb
  I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
Fbm                                         Bm                                    Cb
  The past's the past, and I'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pre-tend

Chorus:
Cb           Bm            Cb
  How basic (Sell me on it)
        Cb                                  Bm                 Cb
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
      Cb           Bm Cb
That's basic (Haha)
Fbm                          Gm
  It's not funny, it's so funny
            Cb                 Bm       Cb
That's just basic being basic   (Basically)
Cb                               Bm            Cb
  You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
            Cb       Bm Cb
I guess I'll take it
Fbm                              Gm
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

Bridge:
Cb
Change your body, change your face,
Bm             Cb
curl your hair then make it straight
Cb                            Bm     Cb
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
Cb                     Bm       Cb
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
Fbm
   It's a flash photograph

Outro:
Fbm        Bm         Cb
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
Bm         Cb         Cb
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
Bm         Cb                      Cb
What an empty epitaph (That's just basic being basic)
      Bm            Cb
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
Fbm              N.C.
If that's funny, I'm not funny
