[Verse 1]

C G C G

C
You can fake it for a while,

Bite your tongue and smile,
                 Am       Asus4            G
Like every mother does an ugly child.
          C             G    C
But it starts to leaking out,
C
Like spittle from a cloud,
Am   Asus4                                        G
Amassed resentment counting ounce and pound.

[Chorus]
C          G                         F
You're entertaining any doubt,
              C                          C                      G
Because you had to know that I was fond of you,
C           G       F
Fond of Y-O-U,
F                                        C                    G
Though I knew you masked your disdain.
C        G      F
(La la la la la)
         C                                                    G
I can see that change was just too hard for us,
C          G     F
Hard for us.
              C                                  G
You always had to hold the reigns,
Dm                                                                         G
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.

[Verse 2]
C
So affections fade away,

And do adults just learn to play
                                  G
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
            C           G         C
On the faith of ruddy suns,

And the double-barreled guns,
Am             Asus4    G
You better hurry, Rabbit, run, run, run.
           C             G            C
Cause meeting you was fun,
C                             Am         Asus4             G
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell. taking it over,
          C           G         C
Their brittle, thorny stems,

They break before they bend,
                               Am    Asus4 G
And neither one of us is one of them.

[Chorus]
              C      G               F
And the tails will never mend,
                         C                       G
‘Cause you had it in for me so long ago.
C        G               F
Boy, I still don't know,
                         C                      G
I don't know why and I don't care,
         C           G F
Well hardly anymore
                      C                     G
If you'd only seen yourself hating me
C  G        F
Hating me,
                         C                           G
When I've been so much more than fair.
                                Dm                         G
But then you had to lay those feelings bare,
         Dm                                   G
One thing I know still got you scared,
           Dm                Am
You're all that cold iron,
        Dm              Am           G
And never once aired on a dare

[Ulangi Chorus]
