Intro
A#m C# G# D#
[Verse 1]
A#m C# G#
I don’t mind listening
D# A#m
Good conversation is my thing,
C# G# D#
But I won’t talk about the weather, no.
[Verse 2]
A#m C#
I’m not rude,
G#
Nor am I shy,
D# A#m
But honey, I’m not gonna lie,
C# G# D#
That’s what most people seem to think.
[Chorus]
A#m C# G#
I don’t get your jokes,
D#
You might have to repeat,
A#m C# G#
Everything you just told me,
D# A#m
‘Cause I didn’t pay no mind,
C# G#
And I know I,
D# A#m
Probably should try,
C# N.C. G# G# G#
Small talk makes me,
N.C#
Small talk makes me,
A#m
Cry-eye,
C# G#
Cry-eye, eye, eye
D#
Small talk makes me,
A#m
Cry-eye,
C# G#
Cry-eye, eye, eye, ye,
D#
Small talk makes me.
A#m
Shallow words,
C#
Fake smile,
G#
Giggles and pretty lies,
D# A#m
Small talk makes me cry.
C# G# D#6
Oh, small talk makes me cry.
[Verse 3]
A#m C#
Every day,
G#
Hey, how are you?
D# A#m
Oh, that question makes me blue,
C# G# D#
‘Cause no one ever really answers it,
N.C. G#
Awkward silences aren’t real,
D# A#m
It’s just something that your mind makes up,
C# G# D#
When you’re feeling insecure.
[Chorus]
A#m C# G#
I don’t get your jokes,
D#
You might have to repeat,
A#m C# G#
Everything you just told me,
N.C#
Small talk makes me,
A#m
Cry-eye,
C# G#
Cry-eye, eye,

Small talk makes me,

Cry-eye,
C# G#
Cry-eye, eye, eye
D#
Small talk makes me,
A#m
Shallow words,
C#
Fake smile,
G#
Giggles and pretty lies,
D# A#m
Small talk makes me cry.
C# G# D#6
Oh, small talk makes me cry.
[Verse 4]
A#m C# D#
It just don’t feel right,
D# A#m
Even if we talk all night,
C# G#
There’d be so much left unsaid,
D# A#m
(So much left unsaid),
A#m C# G#
Tell me how much you feel,
D# A#m
Something honest, something real,
C#
Break the surface,
G# D#
Of your mind.
