♫ Intro:

C Am Em7 F



♫ Verse 1:
G
 I’m 21
C
 The edge is razor thin
Am
  Between being numb
Em
  And feeling everything
F                                     C
 Good days only serve as relief again

♫ Pre-Chorus 1:
        F                                C
Now I’m watching as I waste away my days and then
       F
It’s a cross dissolve
                         C
It’s a scene I’ve played before
        F
And the leading role that I thought I’d hold
        Am         G     F
Doesn’t listen to me anymore

♫ Chorus:
                    C
But I’m wearing his boxers
            Em
I’m being a good wife
            Am
We won’t be together
              F
But maybe the next life

                C
I need him like water
              Em
He lives on a landslide
             Am
I cry in his bathroom
                     F
He turns off the big light

                   C
I’m being the cool girl
               Em
I’m keeping it so tight
            Am
I carry him home while
                  F
My friends have a good night

                C
I need him like water
                   Em
He thinks that I’m alright
                Am
I’m not feeling human
               F
I think he’s a good guy

         C
But it’s complex
       Em       Am       F
It’s a complex
       C
It’s a complex
      Em       Am       F
I’m a complex

♫ Verse 2:
C
 Triangular
Em
  I can see them now
Am
  Three points at which
Em
  I let myself down
F
 I was just a girl, what’s the excuse now?

C
  Too regular
Em
  This pattern
Am
  I’ve been taking shelter in
Em
  Reaching new highs
F
 When I was 19
Em               C
  I wanted to die

♫ Pre-Chorus 2:
      F
Now I just want to kill you
                                  C
But I don’t want to paint you the victim
      F
And I talk a good game
                                       C
I’d die for you just the promise you’d listen

♫ Chorus:
                    C
But I’m wearing his boxers
            Em
I’m being a good wife
            Am
We won’t be together
              F
But maybe the next life
