I Told You Things chords by Gracie Abrams

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: F

Chorus:
F
I told you things that I never said
Dm
You're the golden boy and my worst regret
Bb                            C
So I cut the cost and I limit feeling
F
You were all at once 'til the fade to black
Dm
Took your cigarettes and poems back
Bb                                     C
You were in my hands, now you're on my ceiling

Verse 1:
F
But how's the city been?
                  Dm
You get recognized at the local bar
                     Bb
By the drunken guys and the starlet girls
               C
They claw for pieces
F
Do you give a few? Do you like that?
Dm
Do you freak out or get sad?
Bb                      C
Do you go home, or am I reaching?

Verse 2:
F
Hey, wait, guess what?
       Dm                         Bb
Yesterday I stopped and played it safe
                   C                  F
Instead of walking straight to you to say
                 Dm
Stay, nevermind, okay
                           Bb
Don't mean it, plus you've changed
                   C               F
Not much, but just enough to throw away
                   Dm
Fake fantasies and games
                       Bb
I've lost a year, it's strange
                   C
Composed a hundred ways to tell you
F                        Dm                       Bb
Hey, what if I took your call as more than just a call?
                  C                     F
As writing on the walls, you built this cage
                 Dm                       Bb
Lost color in my face, you're fearing I'm insane
               C                        F
Hallucination, shame, guilt, pain, more pain

Bridge:
                                         Dm
(Don't let them know we're in pain) More pain
                                         Bb
(Don't let them know we're in pain) More pain
                                         C
(Don't let them know we're in pain) More pain
N.C.
(Ah)

Chorus:
F
I told you things that I never said
Dm
To anybody else, I regret them
Bb                               C
But I'll pack it up and practice leaving (Mm)
F
You were all at once 'til the fade to black
Dm
'Til the yellow glow, turned a little sad
Bb                                       C
You were in my hands, but you're good at leaving
