Well staving off rejection has always hurt like hell
 G+G                C majorC
I took the devil's bargain, made a stranger of myself

If anything was wrong, I couldn't tell

You don't have to tell me

How hard it must have been

For you to let me in
E minor 7Em7       D MajorD
Nothing lasts forever
      C majorC
Now I understand
       C majorC
I hurt you again

Fifth grade in the lunchroom, fickle friends are telling jokes
G+G                C majorC
Making you the punchline of some random thing I wrote
     A minorAm                G+G  C majorC
They were looking to me to land the final glow
G+G        C majorC G+G              C majorC
Just to be included, went straight up to my head
 G+G                   C majorC
I thought the joke too stupid for it to matter what I said
   A minorAm               G+G C majorC G+G
I was wrong but I went along with it

E minor 7Em7        D MajorD
You don't have to tell me

How hard it must have been

For you to let me in

Nothing lasts forever
      C majorC
Now I understand
      C majorC
I hurt you again
          G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD

Verse 3:
G+G    C majorC        G+G
We could write this on reminders
  D MajorD
I'd memorize them
G+G    C majorC       G+G
I could sing them to myself
    D MajorD
And whoever's listening
G+G    C majorC       G+G
I could put them on a record
 D MajorD
About my hometown
G+G    C majorC        G+G
Sitting here with pen and paper
  D MajorD      G+G
I'm listening now
