Intro
Dm F C G
[Verse 1]
Dm F C
I don’t mind listening
G Dm
Good conversation is my thing,
F C G
But I won’t talk about the weather, no.
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I’m not rude,
C
Nor am I shy,
G Dm
But honey, I’m not gonna lie,
F C G
That’s what most people seem to think.
[Chorus]
Dm F C
I don’t get your jokes,

You might have to repeat,
Dm F C
Everything you just told me,
G Dm
‘Cause I didn’t pay no mind,
F C
And I know I,
G Dm
Probably should try,

Cry-eye, eye, eye

Giggles and pretty lies,

Small talk makes me cry.

Oh, small talk makes me cry.
[Verse 3]
Dm F
Every day,
C
Hey, how are you?
G Dm
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 Dm
It’s just something that your mind makes up,
F C G
When you’re feeling insecure.

Dm F G
It just don’t feel right,
G Dm
Even if we talk all night,

There’d be so much left unsaid,
G Dm
(So much left unsaid),
Dm F C
Tell me how much you feel,
G Dm
Something honest, something real,
F
Break the surface,
C G
Of your mind.
