Intro:
Hey, leave a message

Verse:
C
Hey, call me back
         Am
When you get this
                     F
Or when you've got a minute
                 C     G
We really need to talk
 C
Wait, you know what
              Am
Maybe just forget it
                      F
Cause by the time you get this
                    C       G
Your number might be blocked

Pre-Chorus:
 Am                C
Stay and blah blah blah
         F                       C G
You just want what you can't have
   Am                  C
No wait, I'll call the cops
             F                      C G
If you don't stop I'll call your dad

Chorus:
      F               G              C
And I hate to do this to you on your birthday
      Am              E
Happy birthday by the way
         F               G              C
It's not you it's me and all that other bullxxxx
                Am
You know that's bullxxxx
           E    F
Don't you, babe
             Fm         C
I'm not your party favor

Verse:
C                                    Am
Look, now I know we could've done it better
                        F
But we can't change the weather
                          C     G
And the weather's come and gone
C                                       Am
Books don't make sense if you read them backwards
                      F
You'll single out the wrong words
                       C      G
Like you mishear all my songs

Pre-Chorus:
         Am                 C
You hear stay and blah blah blah
         F                       C G
You just want what you can't have
   Am                  C
No wait, I'll call the cops
             F                      C G
If you don't stop I'll call your dad

Chorus:
      F               G              C
And I hate to do this to you on your birthday
      Am              E
Happy birthday by the way
         F               G               C
It's not you it's me and all that other bullxxxx
                Am
You know that's bullxxxx
           E    F
Don't you, babe
             Fm
I'm not your party favor

DDU UDU DDU UDU Play that for every cord except for G and C endings. Sorry if that’s confusing just watch Elise Ucklands video for more help!

i tend to lightly mute all the strings and strum —> before the beginning of the song and before verses start.

  Or Em can Ben used in place of the E, I just personally think it sounds better than the E.

  you can do a7! it’s much easier and sounds similar :)

  An alternative way to play E is to play:
  A: |–|1|–|–|
  C:|–|–|–|T|
  E:|–|–|–|T|
  G:|–|–|–|T|

e7 instead of E and G7 instead of Fm, I think they sound a bit better that way and it’s easier to play. Good luck !!

On the last line when you say favour, add a c chord and play slowly across strings. I feel its a nice finish

  In the song there is no C at the end, it ends on Fm

  Bar the fourth fret with your thumb, first three strings (G, C, E)

  Try doing a D chord but on the 4th fret (make sure the A string or the last string doesnt make a sound. Usually you’ll naturally be able to block the last string when doing that chord) That’s what I do and it works for me. (though it sounds kinda empty but hey it works)

  put your thumb on the 2nd 3rd and 4th strings on the fourth fret and your index finger on the 1st string on the second fret

  i use the basic island strum which is DDU UDU on each chord for the intro, and then for the first Am in the Pre-chorus i just do one strum down. Once i get to the C i start again with the DDU UDU and continue. I just keep with the strumming pattern and switch chords based on which word i’m on in the song. I hope i helped i know im super confusing lol
