Verse
Db
Back when we were simple young
A#m
Always chasing for the sun
Ebm Cdim
We were the two best of buds
Db
Then adolescence came by my way and
A#m
Love was rushing right through my veins
Ebm Cdim
Every time I saw her
[Pre-chorus]
Gb Gbm
And I fell down
Db
Wasting my thoughts
Gb Gbm Db
On what ifs and hows
Ab
Why now
[Chorus]
Db A#m
She don't make this thing easy
Ebm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
Db A#m
But I know she’ll never see me as
Ebm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
Gb Gbm Db
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
[Verse 2]
Db
I know I'm usually not one to brag
A#m
But I'm tryna fix what I lack
Ebm Cdim
But she don't notice at all
Db
I wanna be something more than friends
A#m
The pair with that happy end
Ebm Cdim
But maybe this thing will all blow
[Pre-chorus]
Gb Gbm
So I'm falling down
Db
Wasting my thoughts
Gb Gbm
On what ifs and hows
Ab
What now
[Chorus]
Db A#m
She don't make this thing easy
Ebm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
Db A#m
But I know she’ll never see me as
Ebm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
Gbm Gbm Db
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
Ab7 B6 Ebm7 Cm(b5)
Db Ab7 B6 Gb Gbm6
[Ending]
Db A#m
This thing was never easy
Ebm Cdim
My hopes spilled over the brim
Db A#m
All I can say now is sorry
Ebm Cdim
For bringing us to an end
Gbm Gbm Db
I should've kept playing pretend
