[Intro]
C    G    D

[Verse 1]
      C             G
I was bored out my mind
        D
Lost my whole appetite
       C             G
When I could come to life,
         D
 I didn't
         C             G
You were there all the time
           D
You're the worst of my crimes
         C
You fell hard,
            G             D
 I thought "good riddance"

[Chorus]
G               D          C
I never was the best to you

I never was the best to you
G            D            C
 I never was, I never was

[Verse 2]
        C           G
Used to lie to your face
       D
Twenty times in a day
       C         G                D
It was my little strange addiction
        C              G
But you still tried to stay
          D
While I'd self-isolate
      C           G            D
And I knew, but I stayed hidden
[Chorus]
G                D          C
 I never was the best to you

I never was the best to you
G            D            C
 I never was, I never was
G                D          C
 I never was the best to you
                D           G
I never was the best to you
            D            C
I never was, I never was

[Bridge]
    Em                G
And I destroyed every silver
                 D
 linin' you had in your head
            C
All of your feelings,
I played with them
Em                    G
Go ahead, we can just call
                D
 it conditionin'
Em
 We were too different,
 G
you were so sensitive
D
Gave me the best of that,
 C
 I was so negligent
Em                    G
Now, I feel terrible 'bout
               D
how I handled it
            Em
And now, I, now I bet you resent
G                     D
All of me, all of it, angry,
              C
 blocking me over the internet
Em                     G
Promise I don't forget all
                D
 of my fault in this
       Em
'Cause look at me, I'm alone,

 I deserve it though

[Pre-Chorus]
         C            G
You were there all the time
           D
You're the worst of my crimes

You fell hard, I thought

 "good riddance"

[Chorus]
Em               G           D
 I never was the best to you

I never was the best to you
