Verse
Eb
Back when we were simple young
Cm
Always chasing for the sun
Fm Cdim
We were the two best of buds
Eb
Then adolescence came by my way and
Cm
Love was rushing right through my veins
Fm Cdim
Every time I saw her
[Pre-chorus]
Ab Abm
And I fell down
Eb
Wasting my thoughts
Ab Abm Eb
On what ifs and hows
A#
Why now
[Chorus]
Eb Cm
She don't make this thing easy
Fm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
Eb Cm
But I know she’ll never see me as
Fm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
Ab Abm Eb
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
[Verse 2]
Eb
I know I'm usually not one to brag
Cm
But I'm tryna fix what I lack
Fm Cdim
But she don't notice at all
Eb
I wanna be something more than friends
Cm
The pair with that happy end
Fm Cdim
But maybe this thing will all blow
[Pre-chorus]
Ab Abm
So I'm falling down
Eb
Wasting my thoughts
Ab Abm
On what ifs and hows
A#
What now
[Chorus]
Eb Cm
She don't make this thing easy
Fm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
Eb Cm
But I know she’ll never see me as
Fm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
Abm Abm Eb
So I’ll just keep playing pretend

[Ending]
Eb Cm
This thing was never easy
Fm Cdim
My hopes spilled over the brim
Eb Cm
All I can say now is sorry
Fm Cdim
For bringing us to an end
Abm Abm Eb
I should've kept playing pretend
