[Intro]
N.C.
Hello
G Am  x2

[Verse 1]
G        D       Am
We had a mutual friend
who played cupid
G
You jumped in the bed and
Am
been there ever since
G           D        Am
Teenage affection is often
confusing
    G                     Am
I'm starting to feel like it's
wearing thin

[Pre-Chorus]
Am         D
Darling, I don't remember
G
how I'm supposed
                C
To feel at your place,
           Em        Am
when we're watching TV
           D               G
And if you start to wonder why
                  C
I just stare into space,
          Am                D
when you're talking to me

[Chorus]
                Am
You were there, where was I?
               D
Know that somewhere down the line
      G
If I hurt you,
                   D      Em
it's just friеndly fire
         Am
Well, it happens all thе time,
          D
guess I'm broken by design
     G
If I burn you,
                   C
it's all friendly fire
Am G Am G

[Verse 2]
G              D
We had a shelf life
    Am         C
but neither believed it
    G                        Am
We just gave up reading the signs
   G         D
I make conversation
   Am           C
to fill every silence
     G         D              Am
Then put on my headphones and cry

[Pre-Chorus]
            D
It's been a cold December
G                           Em
God knows that I've been a stain
               Am
Oh, it's me, I know
                  D
But you're making plans forever
    G                      Em
But God knows if I'm gonna stay
                    Am        D
or if I'd rather be alone

[Chorus]
                Am
You were there, where was I?
              D
Know that somewhere down the line
     G
If I hurt you,
                   D     Em
it's just friendly fire
         Am
Well, it happens all the time,
          D
guess I'm broken by design
     G
If I burn you,
                         Em
it's all friendly fire
