Verse
Ab
Back when we were simple young
Fm
Always chasing for the sun
A#m Cdim
We were the two best of buds
Ab
Then adolescence came by my way and
Fm
Love was rushing right through my veins
A#m Cdim
Every time I saw her
[Pre-chorus]
Db Dbm
And I fell down
Ab
Wasting my thoughts
Db Dbm Ab
On what ifs and hows
Eb
Why now
[Chorus]
Ab Fm
She don't make this thing easy
A#m Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
Ab Fm
But I know she’ll never see me as
A#m Cdim
Anything more than a friend
Db Dbm Ab
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
[Verse 2]
Ab
I know I'm usually not one to brag
Fm
But I'm tryna fix what I lack
A#m Cdim
But she don't notice at all
Ab
I wanna be something more than friends
Fm
The pair with that happy end
A#m Cdim
But maybe this thing will all blow
[Pre-chorus]
Db Dbm
So I'm falling down
Ab
Wasting my thoughts
Db Dbm
On what ifs and hows
Eb
What now
[Chorus]
Ab Fm
She don't make this thing easy
A#m Cdim
My hopes are filled to the brim
Ab Fm
But I know she’ll never see me as
A#m Cdim
Anything more than a friend
Dbm Dbm Ab
So I’ll just keep playing pretend
Eb7 F#6 A#m7 Cm(b5)

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