[Intro]
Am F C C

[Verse 1]
Am
It was open and closing
F                                 C
And hopelessly hoping for sure
Am
We were here, we were ghosting
F                                                          C
Both of us coasting on ‘just give a little more’

[Pre Chorus]
G                                                          Am
It was all out my hands when you pulled the trigger
F                                                          C
And I kissed your friends ’cause your friend said you kissed her
G                                            Am                              F
And I didn’t flinch, and the lights didn’t flicker and I
F
I fell apart

[Chorus]
C                C/B      Am                              Em
You were my best nights and worst fights
F                G                C
And couldn’t care less
C                C/B                Am                Em
You were my gold rush to cold touch
F     G     C
Favourite ex
C                              C/B                Am                Em
And all of the others cancel out each other
F                G                Am
And it’s always you left
C                C/B                Am                Em
You were my no sleep, cried for weeks
F     G    C
Favourite ex
Am F C C

[Verse 2]
Am
It was stabs in the back
F                                            C
And the nice things you said when you were wasted
Am
I was looking for something
F                                                          C
And changing the one thing you hated

[Pre Chorus]
G                                            Am
It was all out my hands when you pulled the trigger
F                                                                        C
And I kissed your friends ’cause your friend said you kissed her
G                              Am                              F
And I didn’t flinch, and the lights didn’t flicker and I
F
I fell apart

[Chorus]
C                C/B                Am                Em
You were my best nights and worst fights

You were my gold rush to cold touch

You were my no sleep, cried for weeks
