Key: G

Intro:

Am7   G   Am7   G




Verse 1:
Am7
I shouldn't look for someone like you
    G
Who daydreams too much about wasting their youth
Am7                                             G
And I shouldn’t care, and I shouldn't care, but I do
Am7
And I shouldn't stay up until 2 A.M.
G

Hopelessly wondering what I can mend
Am7                                              Gmaj7
And I shouldn’t care, and I shouldn't stare, but I do


Chorus:
       D                       C
And if only I was somebody you wanted
Cm                    G
Just for the day, but you wanted
                            Am7
Someone you know that would leave
                    G
I know that'd never been me


Verse 2:
Am7
Strange you don't know just how I think
G
'Cause I read your mind like it's written with ink
Am7                                                Gmaj7
Scribbles and mess, but lines that still play with my heart


Chorus:
       D                       C
And if only I was somebody who wanted
Cm                        G
Just for the day, but you wanted
                               Am7
Someone you know that wouldn't leave
                     G         Gmaj7  G
I know it's not what you need


Bridge:
Am7
I wrote your name seventeen times
        G
Just to figure out when, figure out why
         C
And it’s starting again, it’s strange, I don't know
D
Why you would stay if you knew you would go
        Am7
And you called out to me, desperately weak
     G
With something to say, if you only could speak
      C
And I tried to pretend, I just can’t deny
         Cm
That I'd lie just for you if you asked me to lie


Out-Chorus:
   Am7                     C
If only I was somebody who wanted
D                         G
Just for the day, but you wanted
                               Am7
Someone you know that wouldn't leave
G                         Am  G
I know that'd never be me
Am7                  G
I know that’d never be me
