I Told You Things chords by Gracie Abrams

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: F

Chorus:
F
I told you things that I never said
Dm
You're the golden boy and my worst regret
Bb              C
So I cut the cost and I limit feeling
F
You were all at once 'til the fade to black
Dm
Took your cigarettes and poems back
Bb                   C
You were in my hands, now you're on my ceiling

Verse 1:
F
But how's the city been?
         Dm
You get recognized at the local bar
           Bb
By the drunken guys and the starlet girls
        C
They claw for pieces
F
Do you give a few? Do you like that?
Dm
Do you freak out or get sad?
Bb           C
Do you go home, or am I reaching?

Verse 2:
F
Hey, wait, guess what?
    Dm             Bb
Yesterday I stopped and played it safe
          C         F
Instead of walking straight to you to say
         Dm
Stay, nevermind, okay
              Bb
Don't mean it, plus you've changed
          C        F
Not much, but just enough to throw away
          Dm
Fake fantasies and games
            Bb
I've lost a year, it's strange
          C
Composed a hundred ways to tell you
F            Dm            Bb
Hey, what if I took your call as more than just a call?
         C           F
As writing on the walls, you built this cage
         Dm            Bb
Lost color in my face, you're fearing I'm insane
        C            F
Hallucination, shame, guilt, pain, more pain

Bridge:
                     Dm
(Don't let them know we're in pain) More pain
                     Bb
(Don't let them know we're in pain) More pain
                     C
(Don't let them know we're in pain) More pain
N.C.
(Ah)

Chorus:
F
I told you things that I never said
Dm
To anybody else, I regret them
Bb                C
But I'll pack it up and practice leaving (Mm)
F
You were all at once 'til the fade to black
Dm
'Til the yellow glow, turned a little sad
Bb                    C
You were in my hands, but you're good at leaving
