[Verse 1]
C
I don’t know what happens
       Dm7
but it must be pretty bad
       Em
When I can’t find your eyes,
I walk home unsurprised
    Fsus2                Gsus4
I’m smaller - and I’m mad
C
I’ll mourn over a weekend
        Dm7
you’ll lose me then
Em
You panic a little
            F
then you’ll want me again

[Chorus]
Gsus4
God knows I love you
        Fsus2
I’ll let these things be
      Gsus4
But I don’t know if I like you
         Fsus2
When you do these things to me

[Verse 2]
C
Now when you touch me
  Dm7
I curl up my spikes
       Em
But you stroke them down
and I’ll come around
       Fsus2
as you ask me what I like

[Bridge]
           Cm
And you’ll kiss me like
I’m everything
D#                     F
Something in me comes undone
         C
And I’ll wake up in the morning

Knowing once again you’ve gone

[Chorus]
Gsus4
God knows I love you
        Fsus2
I’ll let these things be
      Gsus4
But I don’t know if I like you
         Fsus2
When you do these things to me
Gsus4
God knows I love you
        Fsus2
I’ll let these things be
      Gsus4
But I don’t know if I like you
         Fsus2
When you do these things to me

[Bridge 2]
A#             C
To be honest I don’t blame you
A#                           C
cause when you put me on the side
Cm                       F
I clench my fists like a baby
Cm                       F
Yeah I scream like a child
          C             Am6
Yeah I’ll teach you a lesson
C              Am6
Mark my stupid words
      A#             F
Maybe I’ll break the cycle
      G#             Gsus4
Maybe I’ll break you first

[Chorus]
Gsus4
God knows you love me
        Fsus2
These things must be true
      Gsus4
But I don’t know if you like me
         Fsus2
When I do these things to you
