These are Dumb And Poetic chords by Sabrina Carpenter on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
C
You're so dumb and poetic
     G
It's just what I fall for,
    Am
 I like the aesthetic
C
Every self-help book,
 you've already read it
G
Cherry-pick lines like
         Am
they're words you invented
C
Ghost of your high
brow manipulation
       G
And, "love everyone"
        Am
is your favorite quotation
C
Try to come off like
you're soft and well-spoken
G
Jack off to lyrics by
 Am
 Leonard Cohen

[Chorus]
            F  Em7    G
Don't think you   understand
                F
Just 'cause you talk like one
Em7                G
   doesn't make you a man

[Verse 2]
       C
You're so sad,
there's no communication
    G                   Am
But baby, you put us in this
situation
       C
You're running so fast from
the hearts that you're breakin'
G
Save all your breath for
      Am
your form meditation
       C
You're so empathetic,
you'd make a great wife
      G
And I promise the mushrooms
        Am
 aren't changing your life

     C
Will you crash the car
in a bend in the wreckage?
G
Fuck with my head like
     Am
it's some kind of fetish

[Chorus]
            F  Em7    G
Don't think you   understand
                F
Just 'cause you act like one
Em7                G
   doesn't make you a man
            F  Em7    G
Don't think you   understand
                F
Just 'cause you leave
         Em7
 like one   doesn't
        G
 make you a man
