Intro
G#m B F# C#
[Verse 1]
G#m B F#
I don’t mind listening
C# G#m
Good conversation is my thing,
B F# C#
But I won’t talk about the weather, no.
[Verse 2]
G#m B
I’m not rude,
F#
Nor am I shy,
C# G#m
But honey, I’m not gonna lie,
B F# C#
That’s what most people seem to think.
[Chorus]
G#m B F#
I don’t get your jokes,
C#
You might have to repeat,
G#m B F#
Everything you just told me,
C# G#m
‘Cause I didn’t pay no mind,
B F#
And I know I,
C# G#m
Probably should try,
B N.C. F# F# F#
Small talk makes me,

Giggles and pretty lies,

Small talk makes me cry.

Oh, small talk makes me cry.
[Verse 3]
G#m B
Every day,
F#
Hey, how are you?
C# G#m
Oh, that question makes me blue,
B F# C#
‘Cause no one ever really answers it,
N.C. F#
Awkward silences aren’t real,
C# G#m
It’s just something that your mind makes up,
B F# C#
When you’re feeling insecure.
[Chorus]
G#m B F#
I don’t get your jokes,
C#
You might have to repeat,

[Verse 4]
G#m B C#
It just don’t feel right,
C# G#m
Even if we talk all night,
B F#
There’d be so much left unsaid,
C# G#m
(So much left unsaid),
G#m B F#
Tell me how much you feel,
C# G#m
Something honest, something real,
B
Break the surface,
F# C#
Of your mind.
