Chords with lyrics

Intro: C majorC A minorAm FF (x2)

verse 1
  C majorC                  A minorAm   FF  C majorC             A minorAm   FF     stop
The people in the apartments across the street,  literally and metaphorically look down on me
C majorC
Tangled in tenderness
  A minorAm      FF
Why do I have to live like this?
   C majorC
I was tempted by your company
  A minorAm       FF
And you've already noticed me
  C majorC              A minorAm         FF
I'm sorry for what I say when I don't know what I'm saying
  C majorC                  A minorAm       FF
And you don't have to play this cat and mouse game I am playing
      C majorC           A minorAm       FF
I'm just a pretty sad person in a quite surreal place
      C majorC               A minorAm           FF
And I don't look up from my phone because I know I won't see your face
      C majorC   A minorAm     FF         C majorC stop
And it's pathetic, it's also not a competition

    C majorC     FF     A minorAm           G+G
And I'm absolutely infinitely more scared of you than you are of me
     C majorC        FF         A minorAm  stop
And I've always been the one who cares too much

verse 2
   C majorC          FF     FF
And I hope you're happy, I hope you've slept
       A minorAm             G+G
I'll try not write another record about the pain in my chest
      C majorC          FF          A minorAm  stop
I'm just so glad I could be someone that you wanted
      C majorC                 A minorAm      FF
And I don't recognise these stars, I'm unfamiliar with this skyline
   C majorC                  A minorAm        FF
I was born and bred in bars, now nothing man-made is in my eyeline
     C majorC                A minorAm       FF
Turn and walk back to the house that they saved after the war
     C majorC
And I am questioned once again
        A minorAm       FF
Get asked what I would do that for
    C majorC
And our host tells me I'm sick
     A minorAm      FF
Tentatively hands me a spliff
      C majorC
And I know he's forgotten my name
   A minorAm        FF
But I don't remember his

    C majorC     FF     A minorAm           G+G
And I'm absolutely infinitely more scared of you than you are of me
     C majorC        FF         A minorAm  stop
And I've always been the one who cares too much

Hook
    FF       C majorC      A minorAm
And oh god if only it was that easy to run
         G+G              FF
From what I've achieved, I've let it define me
         C majorC         A minorAm
I'm having panic attacks on German TV
         G+G            FF
This is not work ethic, it's survival technique
              C majorC
And there's nothing I can really do
  A minorAm              G+G                FF
So I sit in the band room, start fights to get attention from you
              C majorC             A minorAm
There is nothing I am qualified or smart enough to do
                G+G                FF G+G FF
Sit in the band room and start fights to get attention from you

verse 3
    C majorC               A minorAm       FF
I walk off into the corn field, every cut's a new relief
       C majorC             A minorAm       FF
I might stop talking altogether if you stop talking to me
      C majorC
And if I'm really supposed to be here
        A minorAm       FF
Why has no one come to that conclusion
      C majorC
I'm out of place amongst the band boys
    A minorAm     FF
I can't suspend disillusion
  C majorC                 A minorAm         FF
And music industry professionals yeah they can all go and fuck themselves
  C majorC           A minorAm          FF          C majorC
And it's just me and Chris,  but he's stoned as shit and passing out
            A minorAm        FF  C majorC
That was okay once, for some reason it's sad now
  A minorAm        FF  C majorC    A minorAm        FF  C majorC
For some reason it's sad now, for some reason it's sad
