(E)Have n’t heard from you in a cou ple of months, but I’m (E)out right now and I’m all fucked up.

And you’re (E)call ing my phone, you’re all a lone, and (E)I’m sens ing some un der tone.

And (E)I’m right here with all my friends, but you’re (E)send ing me your new ad dress.

And I (E)know we’re done, I know we’re through, but (E)God, when I look at you, my brain goes, (E)“Ah.”

Can’t hear my (C#)thoughts.

(I can not hear my thoughts.) Like, blah, blah, (E)blah.

(Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.) Should prob ’bly, (C#)I should prob ’bly, prob ’bly not.

(C)I should prob ’bly, prob ’bly not.

(E)See ing you to night, it’s a (E)bad i dea, right?

(E)See ing you to night, it’s a (E)bad i dea, right?

(E)See ing you to night, it’s a (E)bad i dea, right?

(E)See ing you to night...

Fuck it, it’s fine.

(E)Yes, I know that he’s my ex, but (E)can’t two peo ple re con nect?

“I (E)on ly see him as a friend.” The (E)big gest lie I ev er said.

Oh (E)yes, I know that he’s my ex, but (E)can’t two peo ple re con nect?

I (E)on ly see him as a friend.

I just (E)tripped and fell in to his bed.

Now, I’m (E)get ting in the car, wreck ing all my plans.

I know I should stop...

but I can’t.

And I (E)told my friends I was a sleep, but I (E)nev er said where or in whose sheets.

And I (E)pull up to your place on the sec ond floor and you’re (E)stand ing, smil ing, at the door.

And I’m (E)sure I’ve seen much hot ter men, but I (E)real ly can’t re mem ber when.

My brain goes, (E)tripped and fell in to his bed.

Oh (E)yes, I know that he’s my ex.

(E)Can’t two peo ple re con nect?

The (E)big gest lie I ev er said.

I just (E)tripped and fell in to his bed.

(E)tripped and fell in to his bed.

(E)Thoughts.

(E)Blah.
