Intro:
Am  F  C  C


Verse 1:
        Am
It was open and closing
      F                    C
And hopelessly hoping for sure
         Am
We were here, we were ghosting
F                      C
Both of us coasting on ’just give a little more’


Pre Chorus:
        G                      Am
It was all out my hands when you pulled the trigger
    F                                  C
And I kissed your friends ’cause your friend said you kissed her
     G                        Am                       F
And I didn’t flinch, and the lights didn’t flicker and I
 F
I fell apart


Chorus:
            C     C/B        Am     Em
You were my best nights and worst fights
     F       G     C
And couldn’t care less
             C    C/B     Am   Em
You were my gold rush to cold touch
F    G     C
Favourite ex
     C          C/B      Am            Em
And all of the others cancel out each other
     F       G       Am
And it’s always you left
            C    C/B   Am       Em
You were my no sleep, cried for weeks
F    G    C
Favourite ex


Am  F  C  C


Verse 2:
        Am
It was stabs in the back
         F                                  C
And the nice things you said when you were wasted
        Am
I was looking for something
      F                        C
And changing the one thing you hated


Pre Chorus:
        G                      Am
It was all out my hands when you pulled the trigger
    F                                  C
And I kissed your friends ’cause your friend said you kissed her
     G                        Am                       F
And I didn’t flinch, and the lights didn’t flicker and I
 F
I fell apart


Chorus:
            C     C/B        Am     Em
You were my best nights and worst fights
     F       G     C
And couldn’t care less
             C    C/B     Am   Em
You were my gold rush to cold touch
F    G     C
