♫ Verse 1:
B
London 2020
                     E
Boy and a girl broke up, yeah, it's two a penny
                         B
And I been tryna make a big step forward
Saw you, it was awkward
E
Nothing like I thought would happen happened



B                                                E
I was so in love, and that don't come off in the wash
Kinda hope it does, oh
                              B
'Cause you're seeing someone pretty and I hate her guts
                              E
So I'll be telling you she's nice on the bus home

♫ Chorus: 
         B
           E
It didn't work like I thought it would
         B
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
           E
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
       B    
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
         E
And you swore you would do better this time
                 G#m                   F#                    E
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
But at least I'm trying
At least I'm trying
At least I'm trying

♫ Verse 2:
B
Three shots, lemon drops
                        E
One for being lost and alone in your early twenties
                                 B
One for being obsessed with someone who puts you secondary
                             E
One for calling guys with guitars in a cemetery
Just me? Okay!
B                                                E
.If I'm being frank, I want a "sorry" but I'll settle for a handshake
                          B
                     E
So many blank slates I could build a whole fucking house

♫ Chorus: 
         B
We were bad but we're gonna be good
           E
It didn't work like I thought it would
         B
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
           E
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
       B    
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
         E
And you swore you would do better this time
                 G#m                   F#                    E
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
But at least I'm trying
At least I'm trying

♫ Bridge: 
    B
Not friends
No, we're somewhere in between
              E                                                       B
'Cause you're awful and I miss you and I killed you in my dream last night
Even then you didn't care
        E
It's a low when even in my dreams you still don't want me there
        B
Got friends, got at least a healthy five
           E
Yeah, some people think I'm funny, baby, don't look so surprised
    B
We think that your girlfriend is a bore
           E
But we're nice to her in public cause we're grown up and mature
     B
Not friends
                                              E
'Cause when I asked you on the train why you hurt me and you couldn't really actually explain
   B
I cried, then I told you it was cool
           E
God, you haven't changed at all

♫ Chorus: 
         B
           E
It didn't work like I thought it would
         B
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
           E
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
       B    
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
         E
And you swore you would do better this time
                 G#m                   F#                    E
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
                  G#m                   F#                        E
And you might be awful like all of the time, yeah, it's almost inspiring
But at least I'm trying
B
..At least I'm
