Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 1 half step down [ -1 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 1 to stay in the same key

Verse 1:
               Gb                       Db
In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain
               Bbm                   Ab
Cover up her heart, with a little paint
                         Gb                    Db
While he's pulling out a flask, to hide it all away
                         Ab
There's nothing left to say
Bbm
He knows that they're drowning
Gb               Db                     Bbm
She hopes that there's still something left
                       Ab
Let go now cause he's leaving
 
Chorus:
                       Gb
But she'd be fine pretending
                Db                   Bbm            Ab
Things were alright, even while its ending keep it inside
                  Gb
She can feel them bending
                  Db                     Bbm
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
Ab            Gb                   Db
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
                  Bbm            Ab
All her words are empty when she denies
                      Gb
But she can feel them bending
                  Db                     Bbm
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
Ab                      Gb    Db    Bbm    Ab
But she'd be fine prete eh eh eh eh eh eh -she'd be fine-
 
Verse 2:
              Gb                        Db
Step into the light, to look him in the eye
           Bbm                        Ab
Feeling so exposed, she tries to stay composed
                 Gb                      Db          Bbm         Ab
But every little fight, and every little lie is impossible to hide
 
Bridge:
Gb                     Db
He knows that there're drowning
Bbm             Ab                      Gb
She hopes that there's still something left
       Db             Bbm
Let go now cause he's leaving
                  Gb                     Db
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
               Bbm            Ab
Even while its ending keep it inside
                   Gb
She can feel them bending
                  Db                     Bbm
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
Ab            Gb                   Db                      Bbm              Ab
Even when she says she'll open her eyes, all her words are empty when she denies
 
Chorus:
                      Gb
But she can feel them bending
                  Db                      Bbm
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
Ab                      Gb    Ab    Bbm  Db
But she'd be fine prete eh eh eh eh eh -she'd be fine-
Gb                          Db
I hate to watch her hurt, I know it isn't right
Bbm                              Ab
But she can find the courage to leave it all behind
Gb                          Db
I wish I had I the words to help her realize
Bbm                         Ab
That there is just no way to bring this back to life
 
Bridge:
Gb                     Db        Bbm
He knows that, they're drowning
                  Gb                     Db
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
               Bbm              Ab
Even while its ending keep it inside
                  Gb
She can feel them bending
                  Db                      Bbm
All their love is pending, so what is she defending?
Ab            Gb                   Db
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
                  Bbm            Ab
All the words are empty when she denies
                      Gb                        Db
But she can feel them bending all their love is pending so what is
    Bbm
She defending
Ab                      Gb Db Bbm Ab
But she'd be fine prete eh eh eh eh
          Gb
She'd be fine

Biography

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.
