Intro
D#m F# C# G#
[Verse 1]
D#m F# C#
I don’t mind listening
G# D#m
Good conversation is my thing,
F# C# G#
But I won’t talk about the weather, no.
[Verse 2]
D#m F#
I’m not rude,
C#
Nor am I shy,
G# D#m
But honey, I’m not gonna lie,
F# C# G#
That’s what most people seem to think.
[Chorus]
D#m F# C#
I don’t get your jokes,
G#
You might have to repeat,
D#m F# C#
Everything you just told me,
G# D#m
‘Cause I didn’t pay no mind,
F# C#
And I know I,
G# D#m
Probably should try,
F# N.C. C# C# C#
Small talk makes me,
N.F#
Small talk makes me,
D#m
Cry-eye,
F# C#
Cry-eye, eye, eye
G#
Small talk makes me,
D#m
Cry-eye,
F# C#
Cry-eye, eye, eye, ye,
G#
Small talk makes me.
D#m
Shallow words,
F#
Fake smile,
C#
Giggles and pretty lies,
G# D#m
Small talk makes me cry.
F# C# G#6
Oh, small talk makes me cry.
[Verse 3]
D#m F#
Every day,
C#
Hey, how are you?
G# D#m
Oh, that question makes me blue,
F# C# G#
‘Cause no one ever really answers it,
N.C. C#
Awkward silences aren’t real,
G# D#m
It’s just something that your mind makes up,
F# C# G#
When you’re feeling insecure.
[Chorus]
D#m F# C#
I don’t get your jokes,
G#
You might have to repeat,
D#m F# C#
Everything you just told me,
N.F#
Small talk makes me,
D#m
Cry-eye,
F# C#
Cry-eye, eye,
G#
Small talk makes me,
D#m
Cry-eye,
F# C#
Cry-eye, eye, eye
G#
Small talk makes me,
D#m
Shallow words,
F#
Fake smile,
C#
Giggles and pretty lies,
G# D#m
Small talk makes me cry.
F# C# G#6
Oh, small talk makes me cry.
[Verse 4]
D#m F# G#
It just don’t feel right,
G# D#m
Even if we talk all night,
F# C#
There’d be so much left unsaid,
G# D#m
(So much left unsaid),
D#m F# C#
Tell me how much you feel,
G# D#m
Something honest, something real,
F#
Break the surface,
C# G#
Of your mind.

Small talk makes me cry.

Oh, small talk makes me cry.
