[Intro]
Em7 D Em7 Csus2

[Verse 1]
    Em7               D
You cry over boys you haven't
     Em7     Csus2
even met in real life
          Em7
Yeah, you know he's the worst
        D                 Em7
But you tell all your friends
       Csus2
he seems nice, oh-oh
Em7                             D
You change like the seasons in LA
    Em7                 Csus2
And by that I mean that you don't
ever really even change
             Em7               D
No, you just cry over boys you haven't
     Em7     Csus2
even met in real life, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Am7
  How many nights can you spend
Csus2                          G
  Staining your pillow with makeup?
When you're really upset
D                     Am7
  It's so annoying to take off
Just to do it again
Csus2
  Oh, what's the point in
           G            D
  dressing up to be let down?

of making it worse?

[Verse 2]
    Em7               D
You cry over boys you know would
      Em7      Csus2
never cry about you
           Em7
He used to light up your room
         D               Em7
Now your phone is darker than
  Csus2
a tattoo
Em7
You move like the Earth
           D
around the stars
       Em7              Csus2
Broken hearted when you end up in
the same place that you start
        Em7                  D
Back to crying over boys you know
            Em7   Csus2
would never cry about you, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Am7
  How many nights can you spend
Csus2                          G
  Staining your pillow with makeup?
                        D
When you're really upset
                    Am7
It's so annoying to take off
Just to do it again
Csus2
  Oh, what's the point in
           G            D
  dressing up to be let down?
