[Intro]
Dm F Bb
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb C
Thought you'd be looking for the next
in line to love
Dm F Bb
then ignore put out and put away
Dm Bb C
And so you'd soon be leaving me alone
like I'm supposed to be
Dm F Bb
tonight, tomorrow and every day
[Chorus]
C F
There's nothing here that you'll miss
Gm F Gm Dm
I can guarantee you this is a cloud of smoke
C F
trying to occupy space
Gm F
What a f*cking joke
Gm Dm
What a f*cking joke
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb C
I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
Dm F Bb
and take me off far away from you
Dm Bb
'cos my feelings never change a bit,
C
I always feel like sh*t
Dm F Bb
I don't know why, I guess I 'just do'
[Chorus]
C F
You once talked to me about love
Gm F Gm Dm
and you painted pictures of a never-never land
C F
And I could've gone to that place
Gm F
but I didn't understand
Gm F
I didn't understand
Gm Dm
I didn't understand
