[Verse 1]
            Am      F
Let me just set the scene
                G
I just left the party at
                 Am   F
Blake's and it's Halloween
                   G
Had the keys to my car in my hand,
      Am     F
but I didn't leave
'Cause the potential of us, it
    G                Am   F
was keepin' me up all night long
         G
I left a text you won't
        Am   F
read all night long

[Chorus]
N.C.              Am
This could be a disaster
                F
There's so many factors, like,
what if you freak out?
                         G
And then we're losin' it all
                Am
at the critical chapter
                F
Where I say, "I love you"
and you don't say it after
G                 Am
This could be a disaster
         F
Pedalling backwards,
by sayin' that I'm drunk
                        G
I really shouldn't have called,
                 Am
I'm a little bit plastered
              F
You call me a liar,
now I'm fallin' in faster
N.C.              Am
This could be a disaster

[Post-Chorus]
      F            G     Am

[Verse 2]
            Am      F
Let me just lose my mind
                G
Is it purely platonic to call me,
      Am    F
like, every night?
                         G
You know Ashley believes that
                  Am              F
there's something between you and I
But if I'm readin' it wrong, man,
     G                Am    F
it'd be better off if I die, oh
              G
And if you're readin'
             Am  F
the text all night long

[Chorus]
N.C.              Am
This could be a disaster
                F
There's so many factors,
like, what if you freak out?
                         G
And then we're losin' it all
                Am
at the critical chapter
                F
Where I say, "I love you"
and you don't say it after
G                 Am
This could be a disaster
         F
Pedalling backwards,
by sayin' that I'm drunk
                        G
I really shouldn't have called,
                 Am
I'm a little bit plastered
              F
You call me a liar,
now I'm fallin' in faster
N.C.              Am
This could be a disaster

[Outro]
Am        F               G
Maybe I'm mistaken (Oh-oh-oh)
Am              F                 G
You're not mine for taking (Oh-oh-oh)
Am        F        G
Maybe I'm mistaken
Am      F                          G
Maybe I just made it up, messed it up
