CHORDS: Joshua Bassett – Telling Myself Chords on Piano & Ukulele

These are the chords for Telling Myself by Joshua Bassett on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

[Verse 1]
Bm
Started out, started out so simple
        A
We were running 'round,
running 'round like children
        G
How did we allow,
we allow this story
   D       F#
To fall so south?
Bm
What were we,
what were we both thinking?
        A
We were so naive,
so naive believing
        G
We were still happy, still happy
              D       F# N.C.
How could I ignore my doubts?

[Pre-Chorus]

I keep on telling myself
Bm
We had something
But did we stay together
G
Longer than we should?
                        A
Were we just playing pretend
Because we could?
                   E
Was it really that good?

[Chorus]

I keep on telling myself
Bm
It's not what it was
                      G
Did we just want to believe
That this was love?
                        A
Was it really worth the trouble
That it caused?
                    E
Look where we ended up
