Intro: G C G C

Verse 1:
     G     
Like flowers at your mother's wedding
    C
The brighter shade of blue
     G                           C
I'm clutching to the way I felt about you
  G
Before the bags under my eyes
     C
From tossing in my bed at night
G                         C
Now I know I never really loved you

Interlude: G C G C

Verse 2:
     G                                 C
Your parents tied a knot just like the one that's in my chest
    G                                   C
The home they built is broken from the silence
    G
You hold the past over your head
C
Drowning in your self-regret
     G                             C
I'll never be enough for what you wanted

Chorus:
Em            D                    C    G
   I'll never know what's good for me
      Em             D
So go ahead, tear me down
            G
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
Em          D                 C            G
  Yeah it's cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
Am                G                 G -let ring-
   That you're not wasting space in my head

Verse 3:
    G                                C
The record keeps on skipping all the songs you love the most
       G                           C
You're everything I hate about the east coast
    G                             C
You always said that I would be a warmth that you could hold
        G           Am           C
You are only just a blanket that always left my feet cold

Chorus:
Em            D                    C    G
   I'll never know what's good for me
      Em             D
So go ahead, tear me down
            Bm            Cm
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
Em          D                 C            G
  Yeah it's cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
Am                G                 C
   That you're not wasting space in my head

Bridge:
Am        G                              D
   Now I'm shaking, you're drying in the breeze
Am          G           C         
   I've been trying to wash the memories out of our sheets

Interlude:
G C x3
G D G C

Chorus:
Em            D                    C    G
   I'll never know what's good for me
      Em             D
So go ahead, tear me down
            G
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
Em          D                 C            G
  Yeah it's cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
Am                G                  C
   That you're not wasting space in my head
Am             Em                 C
   You're not a waste of space to me

Outro:
     G
Like flowers at your father's wedding
    C
The brightest shade of blue
    G               D           C
I'm questioning the way I feel about you
