Verse 1:
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
I know a girl, she's like a curse
Fm7Fm7
We want each other, no one will break first
Cm7Cm7
So many nights, trying to find someone new
B7B7
They don't mean nothing compared to her, and I know

Pre-Chorus:
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off
Fm7Fm7
I don't know why we act like it means nothing at all
Cm7Cm7                         B7B7
I wish that I could tell you that you're all that I want, yeah


Chorus:
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
I pretend that
Fm7Fm7
I'm not ready
     Cm7Cm7
Why do we put each other through hell?
       B7B7
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
  Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
And you say "hi" like
Fm7Fm7
You just met me
     Cm7Cm7
Why do we put each other through hell?
       B7B7
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
       Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
Why can't we just get over ourselves?

Verse 2:
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
When I hear you sing, it gets hard to breathe
Fm7Fm7
Can't help but think every song's about me
Cm7Cm7
And every line, every word that I write
B7B7
You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh


Pre-Chorus:
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
Don't wanna ask about it 'cause you might brush it off
Fm7Fm7
I'm afraid you think that it means nothing at all
Cm7Cm7                       B7B7
I don't know why I won't admit that you're all I want


Chorus:
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
I pretend that
Fm7Fm7
I'm not ready
     Cm7Cm7
Why do we put each other through hell?
       B7B7
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
  Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
And you say "hi" like
Fm7Fm7
You just met me
     Cm7Cm7
Why do we put each other through hell?
       B7B7
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
