A It is not a secret that A I was not my best self G You met me in the pits G Said I was working on my health D But I was working on a way out Dm And I’m guessing that that didn’t work for you A I never asked you and A Now it's been a year G I never looked you in the eye G It doesn’t have to be so serious D Just hung up on your hanging out Dm But you were never here when I was here A And now I’m feeling badly ‘cause A We were never close G You’re getting married in the fall G I’m hauling out to the Pacific coast D I miss you in your sunny ways Dm The way you meet me halfway when I ghost A And I know it makes me crazy A That my head is in repose G But I’ve been working on my heart G I couldn’t get it out in prose D And I would never say it straight Dm And I would never write it down A But maybe I could k**l it A If I tried to sing it out A ‘Cause talking would just ruin it A And that ain’t worth the risk G And now the window’s closing quickly G You won’t miss me G D You won't miss me when I go D I’m leaving Monday Dm I was never asking much A But maybe I would have said something A If I knew we wouldn’t keep in touch A Cause lately I’ve been entertaining A All these other universes G Where you call me baby G And most days I come home to you D In selfish other worlds Dm Where I am just your kind of sycophantic A Know it’s not the most romantic A Working with the hand I’m granted A But I met your girl and I think A You are perfect for each other G There’s no other pretense G When I say I’m glad you love her G D ‘Cause the worst thing in the world Dm Is to go breaking up the birthday party A Start again at twenty-three A And I will be a girl I’d like to meet
