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

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