C, Am, Em, F


Verse 1:
C                Am
  i pour one out
                       Em
for any chance we had
                        F
of ever being just friends
                       C
i can’t even pretend
                 Am
we play it down
                      Em
we know the etiquette
                       F
but it’s a dangerous mix
              C
platonic and gin

Pre-Chorus:
                           Am
i grab your waist, god i’m negligent,
                        Em
they all start to stare
                      F
no you can’t take me anywhere
C                               Am
   he saw the look that you gave me
                              Em
when i pulled back your hair
                      F
no i can’t take you anywhere


Chorus:
                     C
does he know what happened?
         Am                           Em
at your moms house we were up in the attic
        F                           C
and you told me we were kissing for practice
       Am                       Em
but a part of me knew it wasn’t true
                 F
and so did you…
                         C
cause you were never an actress
   Am                           Em
no you can’t tell a lie without laughing
     F                           C
your word’s a grain of salt to your actions
          Am                   Em
wanted to stay forever in that room
               F
and so did you

didn’t you?
C
   didn’t you?
Am
d-didn’t you?
Em             F
   didn’t you?


Verse 2:
C                Am
   i pour one out
                           Em
for things you’ll never say
                       F
words that stay locked away
                            C
feelings you’ll take to the grave
               Am
but no need to talk
                  Em
kick me under the desk
                          F
i see you holding your breath
                    C
oh baby really say less


Pre-Chorus:
                            Am
i grab your waist, god i’m negligent,
                        Em
they all start to stare
                      F
no you can’t take me anywhere
C                               Am
   he saw the look that you gave me
                              Em
when i pulled back your hair
                      F
no i can’t take you anywhere

C              Am           Em
  i’m happy for your happy ending
       F                      C
only i know you’re pretending
                    Am
i’ll keep lying for you
                              Em
if that’s what you want me to do

i’ll be your dirty secret


Chorus:
F                         C
but we know what really happened
         Am                           Em
at your moms house we were up in the attic
        F                           C
