Verse 1:
G#m*
Benefit of the doubt is my weakness
G#m*
Turning the other cheek to see you less
G#m*
All of our friends are my army, yeah
D#*
Let's say it right: not my fault you got regrets
G#m*
Heads that tip for hot camera flashes
G#m*
Bloodied lips smashing right out the glasses
G#m*
Diamond, Pearl, and Ruby all swoon
D#*
Can I offer you a little salt for that wound?

I clarrified tip-toed around
G#m
Lines in the sand clear and defined
D#m
But you cross them every time

Don't make me be the bad guy

Don't make me be the bad guy

Despite all of my foresight
G#m*                         C#*
I keep hoping I'll be right about you
G#m

Verse 2:
                      C#m*
Paradise lost, you're fallen from grace

You're cracking my ribs with just one embrace

You're offering's empty, Godless and cold

I can read you like a book and it's getting old

Never was meant to be this way
                             C#m
But turns out the villain is fun to play
     G#m
Your Hollywood romance, extra and sappy, but-
stop playing:
Spoiler alert: the ending ain't happy

Eggshells crack beneath your feet

The ugly truth is bitter sweet
D#m
So dress it up in fancy clothes

But we both know how this goes
