Chorus:
Gbm                            Bm7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
Dbm7                   Amaj7
They stare at me while I stare at you
Gbm                  Bm7
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
Dbm7                       Amaj7
One moment I have you, the next, you are gone
Gbm                    Bm7
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
Dbm7                         Amaj7
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Gbm                             Bm7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
Dbm7                   Amaj7
They stare at me while I crave you

I walked into the room dripping in gold
Amaj7
Yeah, dripping in gold
Gbm                     Bm7         Dbm7
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Amaj7
Dripping in gold
Gbm                  Bm7         Dbm7
A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told
Amaj7
Or so I've been told
Gbm                    Bm7                    Dbm7
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
Amaj7
Oh, I cannot solve

Bridge:
Gbm         Bm7            Dbm7   Amaj7
Let's just stop and think before I lose faith
Gbm     Bm7           Dbm7   Amaj7
Surely I can't fall, into a game of chess
Gbm                        Bm7
Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled
Dbm7                         Amaj7
I try to reach out, but he's in his own world
Gbm                          Bm7
This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games
Dbm7                              Amaj7
I simply want him more because he looks the other way
