[Intro]
Cmaj7  Dm7  Am  Fm6
 
 
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
I know a girl, she's like a curse
Dm7
We want each other, no one will break first
Am
So many nights, trying to find someone new
Fm6                                       Cmaj7
They don't mean nothing compared to her, and I know
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                                                Dm7
When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off
                                                 Am
I don't know why we act like it means nothing at all
                                                    Fm6
I wish that I could tell you that you're all that I want, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
I pretend that
Dm7
I'm not ready
          Am
Why do we put each other through hell?
             Fm6
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
    Cmaj7
And you say "hi" like
Dm7
You just met me
          Am
Why do we put each other through hell?
             Fm6
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
             Cmaj7                   Dm7  Am  Fm6
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Cmaj7
When I hear you sing, it gets hard to breathe
Dm7
Can't help but think every song's about me
    Am
And every line, every word that I write
Fm6
You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7                                                Dm7
   Don't wanna ask about it 'cause you might brush it off
                                                 Am
   I'm afraid it you think it means something at all
                                                    Fm6
   I don't know why I won't admit that you're all I want
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
I pretend that
Dm7
I'm not ready
          Am
Why do we put each other through hell?
             Fm6
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
    Cmaj7
And you say "hi" like
Dm7
You just met me
          Am
Why do we put each other through hell?
             Fm6
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
 
 
[Instrumental]
Cmaj7  Dm7  Am  Fm6
Cmaj7  Dm7  Am  Fm6
 
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
I pretend that
Dm7
I'm not ready
          Am
Why do we put each other through hell?
             Fm6
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
    Cmaj7
And you say "hi" like
Dm7
You just met me
          Am
Why do we put each other through hell?
             Fm6
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
 
 
[Outro]
Cmaj7
I know a girl, she's like a curse
Dm7
We want each other, no one will break first
Am
So many nights, trying to find someone new
Fm6
They don't mean nothing compared to you
