[Verse 1]
F#m
I know sometimes you
get pissed off
I know you can't stand it when
E
I canceled plans,
I brushed you off
Yeah, we never planned it, yeah
D
I know sometimes that I fuck up
F#m
And when I think I don't,
I need your love (yeah)

[Chorus]
D                   E
If you wake up one day and
               F#m
don't feel the same
                  A
would you still smile when
             D
the feeling fades
             E
Look to the side when
                 F#m
I'm saying your name
               A
Say it's all fine, baby,
          D
lie to my face
        E             F#m
Who am I to make you stay?
       A          D
Baby, let me down easy
                    E
If you wake up one day and
               F#m
don't feel the same, will you?
Will you?

D              E
Say shit, say shit we
don't mean at all
F#m       A
Don't pay attention when
they're not involved
D           E
Complications,
they can't be solved
    F#m              A
If you walk away and then
we might lose it all
             D
When you walked into my life
  E
I'm feeling different now
            F#m
And when we wake up I said
        A
"can we switch positions now"
           D
And your friends, they got
          E
opinions but they getting loud
          F#m
But you know you mean the most,
              A
don't start acting different now
