[Intro]
A

[Verse]
    D
It's times like these
          F#7
Wish I had a time machine, so
Bm
I could see what you
      D
did October 13th
  G               D
At 10:15, were you
really asleep?
        E7
Were you lying to me
        A
and the family?

[Chorus]
          D
There's no "us" in us when
   F#7
I'm lacking trust
   Bm
You wanna discuss, ugh
D
 You disgust me
G
Don't make me cuss you out
D
 Why'd you let me down?
E7              A
Don't say sorry now

[Bridge]
   D               F#7
And thanks to you I,
I can't love right
Bm                 D
I get nice guys and villainize
them
G                    D
Read their texts like they're
having sex right now
E7                  A
Scared I'll find out
that it's true
   D             F#7
And if I do, then I blame you for
Bm                A
  Every worst that I assume
         D
When I'm forty-five,
       F#7
someone calls me their wife
      Bm
And he fucks our lives
      D
in one selfish night
                G
Don't think I'll find
              D
forgiveness as fast as mom did
   E7
And, God, I love you,
          A
but you're such a dipshit
Gm
Please, fucking fix this

Now I can't even look at you
A Bm A G A D
