Intro:

A Asus2/B Aadd4 D
  Oh-oh

Verse 1:
            A                         Asus2/B
There was a trail of destruction that led straight to you
  Aadd4                      D
Ignored all the signs that I wish weren't true
       A                    Asus2/B              Aadd4 D
You're such a good actor, I guess you had me fooled
      A                     Asus2/B
Guess I was convenient when I was around
       Aadd4                   D
'Cause you love attention, the talk of the town
    A                      Asus2/B               Aadd4 D
And I'd build you up while you'd just tear me down

Pre-Chorus:
       F#m7
What's done is done
    Aadd4         D
I'm on the other side now

Chorus:
   A                Asus2/B
So you can play the golden boy
    Dsus2
And lose yourself in all the noise of
F#m7                               E
  "You're kind and you're so perfect"
                              Dsus2
"I'd love to be your girlfriend"

You were lucky once
                             A   Asus2/B
How's life livin' on the surface?

Verse 2:
     A                          Asus2/B
We'd talk all the time, now we don't even speak
Aadd4                       D
I'm wide awake while you're both still asleep
       A             Asus2/B      Aadd4 D
You're so unaffected by our history

Pre-Chorus:
           F#m7
But what's done is done
    E                D
I'm on the other side now

Chorus:
   A                Asus2/B
So you can play the golden boy
    Dsus2
And lose yourself in all the noise of
F#m7                               E
  "You're kind and you're so perfect"
                              Dsus2
"I'd love to be your girlfriend"

You were lucky once

How's life livin' on the surface?
A              Asus2/B
You can really play the part
      Dsus2
While you stay breaking all these hearts
     F#m7                              E
Oh, "What's it like to be his girlfriend "
                           Dsus2
Looks good, but it's a burden

You were lucky once

Have fun livin' on the surface

Bridge:
    Bm                        A/C#
I'm thankful you're no longer wasting my time
    Dsus2
I'm grateful I gave up on reading your mind
  Bm                         A/C#
I know that it's much better ending like this
     Dsus2
Just one on your list, deceived and dismissed
    Bm                  A/C#
No, I'm not alone being left in your mess
   Dsus2
It should bring me closure or something, I guess
    Bm                         A/C#
But all that I'm left with are unproven words
     Dsus2                               N.C.
That everyone heard and what makes it worse

Outro:
   A                  Asus2
Is you just play the golden boy
    Dsus2
And got so lost in all the noise of
F#m7                               E
  "You're kind and you're so perfect"
                             Dsus2
"I'd love to be your girlfriend"
                  N.C.
How's life livin' on the surface?
A             Asus2/B
You can really play the part
       Dsus2
While you stay breaking all these hearts
     F#m7                              E
Oh, "What's it like to be his girlfriend "
                           Dsus2
Looks good, but it's a burden

You were lucky once
                        N.C.
Have fun livin' on the surface
