Tom: C
C
Better off, I tell myself
G
I'm in hell, you're covering
This apartment, and I hate it
Am
The sweet nothings at the start
D7sus4
The 'it's us', and 'we're art'
The 'great love story in the making'
Dm Em
When I'm alone I get amnesia
Am G
The worst part of me wants you against reason
C
The glory days came and went
G
You ask for space, works to blame
I need too much now, baby
Am
You throw a party on a boat
D7sus4
I'm out of town, you fuck around
With a yellow bikini
Dm Em
Oh, it's my birthday weekend, baby
Am G
Not that there's a good time for cheating
[Chorus]
C G
How dare you fight for me this time?
C D7sus4
How dare you promise anything this time?
Dm Em
When I was there, in your arms, in July
Am G
And you're swearing, "this time,"
C
Did you know it was a lie?
[Verse 2]
C
Driving home from your friends'
G
The first time I met them
You tell me they said, I'm not beautiful enough for you
Am
But you defended my face
Was I supposed to celebrate
D7sus4
How you handled my disgrace?
Dm Em
And discreetly, Band-Aid where I'm bleeding
Am G
This kind of love leaves me no room for needing
[Chorus]
C Em
How dare you fight for me this time?
C D7sus4
How dare you promise anything this time?
Dm Em
But I was there, in your arms, in July
Am G
And you're swearing, "this time,"
C
Did you know it was a lie?
[Bridge]
Am
Oh, it's true
Em D7sus4
Baby, I want to believe you
Am
Oh, it's true
Em D7sus4
There's a suitcase of things I'm holding on to
Dm Em Am
Your new lover plays my guitar
Dm Em
With a note that says
N.C. C
"For ever and a day you have my heart."
Am G
This was not a case of indifference
Am G
I'm in a maze, chasing narrative
Am G
I'm losing weight 'cause I can't eat
Am G
One day I'll wear a yellow bikini
[Chorus]
C G
How dare you fight for me this time?
C D7sus4
How dare you promise anything this time?
Dm Em
When I was there, in your arms, in July
Am
And you're swearing, "this time,"
C
Did you know it was a lie?
[Verse 3]
In the kitchen, we're alone
Breakfast I made, fresh on the stove
G
And your eyes go grey
Am
The hand I held turned away
D7sus4
Showed me the door in the home we made
And I hear my pulse race
Dm G
I made it halfway down our street
Am G
The one we loved 'cause it's named like me
Dm Em
Then in a text, you say "pack your things
Am G
I've got friends to entertain,"
