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

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