   D

Verse 1:
Gbm          Em         G              D
Pretty girls party top, sequins on the floor
     Gbm         Em          G            D
Will you walk me home? or at least to the door
         Gbm             Em         G
It's the least you could do for somebody
      Bm        Gbm         G                 D
Who's dedicated her life to trying to impress you
     Gbm           Em           G            D
It's  late  and  it’s cold and  you don't give  a xxxx
          Gbm                Em
Someone's waiting on the the phone and
    G               D
She asks who you're talking with
    Gbm         Em        G         Bm
And I watch you lie while I grab my coat
    Gbm            Em
You tell her she's crazy
       G
Almost like I'm a joke

Chorus:
        D        Gbm        Em       G
I guess, I'd prefer to be a tough subject
D                 Gbm        Em   G
Than, not to be a subject at all
         D       Gbm         Em     G
Hope you, fight about me til you realize
Bm        Gbm      G
I was the one all along
  D           Gbm      Em        G
I hope I'm an argument you keep avoiding
  D                Gbm        Em      G
I think that would mean I was kinda important
   D       Gbm         Em       G
So, I'd prefer to be a tough subject
    Bm            Gbm        G
Than, not to be a subject at all

Verse 2:
D      Gbm           Em            G          D
 Block out the whole night for the sake of my health
          Gbm        Em
Hate that I sound so desperate
    G                D
I'm embarrassed of myself
        Gbm      Em                G          Bm
And you probably think I wore that outfit for you
         Gbm             Em               G
Somehow, I looked out of place when every girl wore it too
                        G          D
When she walked in, she lit up the room

         Gbm        Em
You were talking to me
         G         D
And then I was see-through
     Gbm             Em            G
Was about to say I'm free tomorrow afternoon
Bm      Gbm            G
 But it looks like she might be coming home with you

Chorus:
        D       Gbm         Em       G
I guess, I'd prefer to be a tough subject
D                 Gbm        Em   G
Than, not to be a subject at all
         D      Gbm          Em     G
Hope you, fight about me til you realize
Bm        Gbm      G
I was the one all along
  D           Gbm      Em        G
I hope I'm an argument you keep avoiding
  D                Gbm        Em      G
I think that would mean I was kinda important
   D       Gbm         Em       G
So, I'd prefer to be a tough subject
    Bm            Gbm        G
Than, not to be a subject at all

Bridge:
D         Gbm             Em   G
 When she asks about your day
D       Gbm            Em           G
 Do you leave out that parts that involve me
D           Gbm           Em   G
Hate that I hope that you do
         Bm                Gbm
Cause it means you have to think of me
   G
As more than a body
        Bm        Gbm           Em      G
Can you see in my eyes what I'm saying
        D          Gbm             Em    G
Between all of the words that come out?
          D              Gbm        Em         G
All your friends ask me if we're together yet
          Bm           Gbm          G
I'll just keep playing dumb on your couch

Outro:
D       Gbm         Em       G
 I'd prefer to be a tough subject
