C F Em F C G
[Verse]
C F
Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool
Em F C G
And make fun of the cowboys with the neck tattoos
C F
Ask you easy questions about work and school
[Chorus]
C C/B Dm
I'm trying to be cool about it
G C C/B
Feeling like an absolute fool about it
Am Dm
Wishing you were kind enough to be cruel about it
G C C/B
Telling myself I can always do without it
Am Dm G
Knowing that it probably isn't true
[Verse]
C F
I came prepared for absolution if you'd only ask
Em F C G
So I take some offense when you say “no regrets”
C F
I remember it's impossible to pass your test
[Chorus]
C C/B Dm
But I'm trying to forget about it
G C C/B
Feeling like I'm breaking a sweat about it
Am Dm
Wishing you’d kindly get out of my hеad about it
G C C/B
Telling myself one day I'll forgеt about it
Am Dm G
Knowing that it probably isn't true
[Verse]
C F
Once I took your medication to know what it's like
Em F C G G7
And now I have to act like I can't read your mind
C F
I ask you how you're doing and I let you lie
[Verse]
C C/B Dm
We don't have to talk about it
G C C/B
I can walk you home and practice method acting
Am Dm
I'll pretend being with you doesn't feel like drowning
G C C/B
Telling you it's nice to see how good you're doing
Am Dm G
Even though we know it isn't true
