Verse 1:
F Am
We stayed up drinking the Japanese whiskey
Adim D
That your father brought home from Tokyo
Bb Bbm
You said that I can’t go home until it’s empty
F Am
But my, my lips are dry
F Am
I don’t like the taste but I like how it sounds
Adim D
So I stayed there and wasted our time
Bb Bbm F Am
I tried to act like a man but I felt like a child
Pre-Chorus:
Gm Bb F Am
Seems like the closer I hold you, the colder it feels
Gm Bb F Am
We only fall in love with things that ain’t really real
Chorus:
F Am
I wanted to be what you wanted in me
Adim Bb
But if I’m being honest I can’t
Verse 2:
F Am
You don’t keep lists of your hits or your misses
Adim D
But I carve my kisses in stone
Bb Bbm
I keep my past bеhind glass
F Am
But you don’t want to know
Pre-Chorus:
Gm Bb F Am
Seems like thе closer I hold you, the colder it feels
Gm Bb F Am
We only fall in love with things that ain’t really real
Chorus:
F Am
I wanted to be what you wanted from me
Adim Bb
But if I’m being honest I can’t

Oh
I close my eyes and swallow your bitter words whole
