*Capo 7th Fret (All chords relative to capo)
 
 
[Intro]
 
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Riff 1 (Strumming Pattern Throughout Verses: 1+2+3+1+2+1+2+3+1+2)
 
D  A  Em  G
 
It's unclear now, what we intend
We're alone in our own world
You don't wanna be my boyfriend
And I don't wanna be your girl
 
    D                   A
And that, that's a relief
                     Em
We'll drink up our grief
              G
And pine for summer
           D           A
And we'll buy beer to shotgun
                 Em
And we'll lay in the lawn
               G
And we'll be good
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Riff 1 (Strumming Pattern Throughout Verses: 1+2+3+1+2+1+2+3+1+2)
 
D  A  Em  G
 
(continue strumming pattern)
 
Now I'm laughing at my boredom
At my string of failed attempts
Because you think that it's important
And I welcome the sentiment
 
       D                    A
And we talk on the phone at night
             Em
Until it's daylight
               G
And I feel clever
      D                      A
And I hear the slow in your speech
                  Em
Yeah you're half asleep
   G
Say goodnight
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Riff 1* (Continue strumming pattern)
 
Now I've got friendships to mend
I'm selfishly dispossessed
You don't wanna be my boyfriend
And that's probably for the best
 
          D              A
Because that, that gets messy
              Em
And you will hurt me
        G
Or I'll disappear
    D                  A
So we will drink beer all day
                     Em
And our guards will give way
              G
And we'll be good
 
 
Riff 1*
 
 
[Outro]
