- Difficulty: Intermediate
Intro:
F#b
Write it in gold
G#b
It could be retold
C#b
But the ending gets old
F#b
They say you learn to know
G#b
When it's time to go
C#b D#bm
Like a sick joke
Verse 1:
F#b G#b A#bm
These days I'm talking to myself again
C#b F#b
Reenacting conversations that never happened
G#b A#bm
I know what to say now when you ask me
C#b F#b
If everything I feel is temporary
G#b A#bm
I'm learning more about myself and it's scary
C#b F#b
Won't you let me live right here in the memory
G#b A#bm
Love me plenty, take this gently
C#b F#b
Leave me empty, leave me whole
G#b
Call it what it is
A#bm
It's a sick, sick joke

Chorus:
C#b F#b
But nobody's laughing now
G#b A#bm
Wanna learn to love you, I just don't know how
C#b F#b
Swear I'm really trying but I'm all worn out
G#b A#bm
And all that happened hurt me more than I care to talk about
C#b F#b
Nobody's laughing now
G#b A#bm
Nothing ever changes and I'm sick of this town
C#b F#b
Will I find it in me to find a way out?
G#b C#b
I think I might feel better once I let you down
C#b E F#b G#b
Verse 2:
F#b G#b A#bm
Restless, overanalyzing everything
C#b F#b
You reached across these sheets for me
G#b A#bm
And though we never touched in that midnight glow
C#b F#b
Every part of me you begged to know
G#b A#bm
I look into your eyes and I see my own
C#b F#b
Almost like you always knew me
G#b A#bm
What a horrifying feeling
C#b
(You were horrifying)
Pre-Chorus:
F#b G#b
I only miss it a little
A#bm
And I don't wish you very well
C#b
You only loved me in riddles
F#b
But you still loved me, I could tell
G#b
Now you call it a fever dream
A#bm
Only kidding yourself
C#b
(You're only kidding yourself)
Chorus:
F#b
But nobody's laughing now
G#b A#bm
Wanna learn to trust you, I just don't know how
C#b F#b
Swear I'm really trying but I'm all worn out
G#b A#bm
And all that happened hurt me more than I care to talk about
C#b F#b
And I'm still checking my phone
G#b
But you're no longer a contact
A#bm
I'm good on my own
C#b
And you already know that
F#b
You swore to be true
G#b
And you failed in the moment
A#bm
They say it takes two but
C#b
I blame you
F#b
Nobody's laughing now
G#b A#bm
Nothing ever changes and I'm sick of this town
C#b F#b
Will I find it in me to find a way out?
G#b A#bm
I think I might feel better once I let you down
C#b E
Verse 3:
F#b G#b
I don't know what it means
A#bm
Someday I'll find the meaning
C#b
The wound still stings
F#m
But I kinda like the bleeding
G#b
Where'd you go? I don't know
A#bm
But you oughta stay there
C#b
Had to block you on the internet
F#b
Cause I still care
G#b A#bm
It keeps me up at night like a bad, bad dream
C#b F#b
What if I never find someone who's just like me?
G#b A#bm
Our stars never aligned and we did a bad thing
C#b F#b
I hold onto these grudges like I wish you held me
G#b A#bm
Reluctantly surrender my incessant need
C#b F#b
For love so all consuming that it ruins me
G#b A#bm
You promised it was real, well I guess you misspoke
So call it what it is
(It's a sick, sick joke)
Chorus:
F#b
And nobody's laughing now
G#b A#bm
I wanna be merciful, I don't know how
C#b F#b
Swear I'm really trying but I'm all worn out
G#b A#bm
And all that happened hurt me more than I care to talk about
Outro:
C#b F#b G#b
And it goes against my nature to believe you're bad
A#bm C#b
But why'd you have to go and lie to me like that?
F#b G#b
There always comes a point when you have to have your own back
A#bm C#b
Now's as good a time as ever to learn that
F#b G#b
Thankful that I never gave you all of me
A#bm C#b
Now I get to walk away with everything
F#b G#b
If I linger in your memory, eradicate me
A#bm C#b
I never saw you coming but I felt you leave
F#b
Nobody's laughing now
G#b A#bm
Gave myself the closure cause I did my best
C#b F#b
I hope you never find the guts to make amends
G#b
Crying to my friends
A#bm
Plotting my revenge
When all I really wanna know is why would you pretend?
