Intro: Dbm A  Gbm A Ab
 
Verse 1:
               Dbm           A
You're hard to hug, tough to talk to
      Gbm           A Ab              Dbm     A
And I never fall asleep, when you're in my bed
        Gbm          A    Ab
All you give me is a heartbeat
     Dbm           A
I've turned into a statue
       Gbm              A Ab
And it makes me feel depressed
           Dbm           A          Gbm            A Ab
'Cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed
 
Pre-Chorus 1:
    Dbm                 A
You don't love me, big xxxxing deal
     Gbm            A     Ab
I'll never tell you how I feel
    Dbm                A
You don't love me, not a big deal
     Gbm            A     Ab
I'll never tell you how I feel
 
Chorus:
   Dbm          B              Gbm        A Ab
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part
     Dbm             B                Gbm            A Ab
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart
             A           E                Ab           Dbm B
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
   A       Ab               Dbm   A    Gbm   A Ab
If I can't get the starring role
 
Verse 2:
     Dbm    A              Gbm           A Ab
Sometimes I ignore you, so I feel in control
       Dbm        A              Gbm              A Ab
'Cause really, I adore you and I can't leave you alone
    Dbm         A              Gbm           A Ab
Fed up with the fantasies that cover what is wrong
     Dbm              A                 Gbm              A Ab
Come on, baby, let's just get drunk, forget we don't get on
 
Pre-Chorus 2:
       Dbm                A
You're like my dad, you'd get on well
  Gbm               A        Ab
I send my best, regards from hell
 
Chorus:
   Dbm          B              Gbm        A Ab
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part
     Dbm             B                Gbm            A Ab
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart
             A           E                Ab           Dbm B
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
   A       Ab               Dbm   A    Gbm   A Ab
If I can't get the starring role
 
Bridge:
  A              E             Dbm            B
I never sang for love, I never had a heart to mend
   A               E              Dbm            B
Because before the start began, I always saw the end
      A                  E          Dbm              B
Yeah, I wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me
    A              E                Dbm            B
But nothing's ever gonna give, I'll never set you free
           Dbm            B
Yeah, I'll never set you free
 
Chorus:
   Dbm          B              Gbm        A Ab
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part
     Dbm             B                Gbm            A Ab
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart
             A           E                Ab           Dbm B
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
   A       Ab               Dbm   A    Gbm   A Ab  Dbm
If I can't get the starring role
