G D C D C   G D C D C


Verse 1:
    G        D    C          D   C
You speak in platitudes that I believe you think are true
     G        D      C       D       C
When you hung up the phone I swore I heard you say I love you
       G      D      C     D        C
It’s a really pretty habit that I’m sure is hard to break
        G      D        C        D         C
But the way it felt you might as well have called me by her name

Pre-Chorus:
     Am
Do I keep it up
        C                               G
Keep pretending maybe someday that I’ll be enough
                                           Em7
Cause this thing is feeling one way it’s a dead end love
Em7
Am I want you want?
   D      G       Am7 G
An out of placeholder


Chorus:
        Em7              D       Am G
Did you lie to me saying it was over
            Em                D          Am7 G
When you’re holding me do you wanna hold her
          Em7                  D               Am G
If you’re using me to kill her memory it won’t work
                           Am7     G
You don’t need me baby you need closure
        Em7              D       Am7 G
Did you lie to me saying it was over
            Em                D          Am7 G
When you’re holding me do you wanna hold her
          Em7                  D         Am7       G
If you’re using me to kill her memory it won’t work
Em                D
You don’t need me baby you need


Verse 2:
  G
A couple months of therapy
  Em             D
A little dose of clarity
    C
And sleeping by yourself at night
G
You could try and hit the gym
    Em                  D
And go somewhere you’ve never been
    C
And maybe even take a hike
   G                 Em      D    C
As long as you don’t call me up because you know I care
   G         Em       D      C
It might not be manipulation but it isn’t fair


Pre-Chorus:
        Am
I can’t keep it up
        C                               G
Keep pretending maybe someday that I’ll be enough
                                           Em7
Cause this thing is feeling one way it’s a dead end love
Em7
Am I want you want?
   D      G       Am7 G

Did you lie to me saying it was over
            Em                D          Am7 G
When you’re holding me do you wanna hold her
          Em7                  D               Am G
If you’re using me to kill her memory it won’t work

You don’t need me baby

Bridge:
             Am7     G        Em7             D
I don’t need half in half out begging you for more
             Am7     G         Em7          D
None of this show up show down crying at my door
Am7           G
Why can’t you just admit it
Em7               D
We both know that you’re still in it
Am7          G              Em7 D Am G
Didn’t think you could get any  lower
        Em               D           G
Did you lie to me saying it was over
                           Am      G
You don’t need me baby you need closure


Out-Chorus:
        Em7              D       Am G
Did you lie to me saying it was over
            Em                D          Am7 G
When you’re holding me do you wanna hold her
          Em7                  D               Am G
If you’re using me to kill her memory it won’t work
Em                D
You don’t need me baby
     Am
Do I keep it up
                                        G
Keep pretending maybe someday that I’ll be enough
                                           Em
Cause this thing is feeling one way it’s a dead end love
              D
Am I what you want?
