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

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