Key: Bb Intro: Bb Gm Eb (x4) Verse 1: Bb You started as a school friend Gm We wrote it on my bed Eb Some good things last forever And others drown instead Bb On my way to your apartment Gm You had problems with your head Eb You asked for an extension
On the promises we kept Chorus 1: Bb You know I hate it when Gm I have to see you bruised Eb It fucks your confidence It's every second you lose Bb Gm To this consequence of "you're beautiful" Eb I can't let it win We've got to see this through Verse 2: Bb Your public limitations Gm Meant visits weren't your friend Eb We spent our time on puzzles That didn’t have an end Bb I painted you a portrait Gm Of Annie Erin Clark Eb To make you feel at home with The nurses after dark Chorus 2: Bb You know I love it when Gm Eb I get to see you smile with teeth At stupid things Bb Like our imaginary beef with William Shatner Gm Eb Bb And all the bullshit that he speaks Bridge: Gm F You know I love you the best Bb We started with so many friends Eb We've only got seven left Gm F So take your hand and put it on my chest Bb There's something really big in there Eb And no one gets access Instrumental Interlude: Bb Eb Gm Eb (x3) Bb Gm Eb Outro: Bb Cause there's always something Eb In the marks on your face Gm The ringing in your ears that screams Eb "Don't look this way" Bb When everything's perfect Eb But you're not okay Gm You start to get the feeling Eb You might be erased Bb There's always something Eb That screams out loud Gm And no one hears it Eb Until you shout Bb "I'm putting me first" Eb "I'm putting me first" Gm Eb "I'm putting me first" (last three lines x5)
