Verse
C
Back when we were simple young
Am
Always chasing for the sun
Dm Cdim
We were the two best of buds
C
Then adolescence came by my way and
Am
Love was rushing right through my veins
Dm Cdim
Every time I saw her
[Pre-chorus]
F Fm
And I fell down
C
Wasting my thoughts
F Fm C
On what ifs and hows
G
Why now
[Chorus]
C Am
She don't make this thing easy
Dm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
C Am
But I know she’ll never see me as
Dm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
F Fm C
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
[Verse 2]
C
I know I'm usually not one to brag
Am
But I'm tryna fix what I lack
Dm Cdim
But she don't notice at all
C
I wanna be something more than friends
Am
The pair with that happy end
Dm Cdim
But maybe this thing will all blow
[Pre-chorus]
F Fm
So I'm falling down
C
Wasting my thoughts
F Fm
On what ifs and hows
G
What now
[Chorus]
C Am
She don't make this thing easy
Dm Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
C Am
But I know she’ll never see me as
Dm Cdim
Anything more than a friend
Fm Fm C
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
G7 A#6 Dm7 Cm(b5)
C G7 A#6 F Fm6
[Ending]
C Am
This thing was never easy
Dm Cdim
My hopes spilled over the brim
C Am
All I can say now is sorry
Dm Cdim
For bringing us to an end
Fm Fm C
I should've kept playing pretend
