[Chorus]
D                   Gmaj7                         D                         Gmaj7
Girl, would it kill you just to show a little bit of attention?
D                                     Gmaj7                                     A
If I hurt you, I’m afraid God’s gonna teach me a lesson

[Pre-Chorus]
D                                                 Gmaj7
Now would you hate me if I said goodbye
D                                     Gmaj7
So quick you could eat my dust?
D                                                             Gmaj7
Now would you hate me if I ran like hell
A
In the wind from dawn ’til dusk?

[Chorus]
D                                     Gmaj7
When you cry, you waste your time
D                         Gmaj7
Over boys you never liked
D                                     Gmaj7
Can you not be so obvious?
A
So keep it light
So keep it light, no

[Verse]
D                         Gmaj7             D                         Gmaj7
I thought I’d vocalize my troubles, but nobody will listen
D                                                 Gmaj7                                     A
I know I’m cryptic and I’m weird, that shit comes off as indifferent
D                         Gmaj7
I don’t wanna die so young
D                         Gmaj7
Got so much to do
D                                     Gmaj7
I don’t smile for the camera
A
Only smile for you
Smile for you

Now would you hate me if I said goodbye
D                                     Gmaj7
So quick you could eat my dust?
D                                                 Gmaj7
Now would you hate me if I ran like hell
A
In the wind from dawn ’til dusk?

[Chorus]
D                         Gmaj7
When you cry, you waste your time
