[Intro]
C Am7 G Fadd9

[Verse 1]
                                 C
This wasn't how it's supposed to go
                           Am7
I should be the one you're dancing with
                      G
Spinning with a vodka coke
                Fadd9
Everybody at my fingertips
                   C
I was gonna get my coat
                            Am7
And maybe you were meant to follow me
                       G
And I was gonna act surprised
                       Fadd9
Even though I know you wanted me

[Pre-Chorus]
     Am7                        C
It's not like I've been crying, no
        Fadd9              G
There's just smoke in my eyes

[Chorus]
                        C
  'Cause this ain't no John Hughes movie
          Am7
Where the girl gets the guy
    G                  F/E
You look right through me
      Fadd9
Every time you walk by
                       C
I keep waiting for the heartbreak music
       Am7
That's never gonna come
          G                 Fadd9
'Cause if you don't want me
                     C  Am7 G  Fadd9
Then you're not the one

[Verse 2]
                      C
Sitting on a bathroom floor
                    Am7
Trying to get my composure back
                        G
Think I built it up too tall
                         Fadd9
Knew I should've worn my Adidas
                       C
Maybe if I'd reined it in
                            Am7
You wouldn't wanna kiss somebody else
                        G
But you don't owe me anything
So I'm just gonna walk
      Fadd9
home by myself, by myself

There's just smoke in my eyes
