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

And I know I,
F# C#m
Probably should try,

Oh, small talk makes me cry.

C#m E
Every day,

Hey, how are you?
F# C#m
Oh, that question makes me blue,
E B F#
‘Cause no one ever really answers it,
N.C. B
Awkward silences aren’t real,
F# C#m
It’s just something that your mind makes up,
E B F#
When you’re feeling insecure.

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