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

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