[Verse 1]
G              A
 I know you're not the
                      Em
 sharpest tool in the shed
                       G
We had sex, I met your best
friends

Then a bird flies by
 and you forget
G               A
 I don't hear a word
                       Em
'Til your guilt creeps in
                     G
On a Tuesday, send a soft
"Hey"
As if you really don't
 recall the time

[Chorus]
D
We were goin' right,
then you took a left
D/C#
Left me with a lot of
shit to second-guess
G
Guess I'll waste
another year,
 I'm wonderin' if

You're confused and
 I'm upsеt

 All the silence just makes
 it worse, really

 your strategy
G
'Cause it leaves you so
top of mind for me
[Bridge]
G
We never talk about how you

Found God at your ex's house
      A
Always made sure that
the phone was face-down

Seems like overnight,
I'm just a bitch you hate now
Em
  We never talk it through

How you guilt-tripped me
 to open up to you
        G
Then you logged out,
 leave me dumbfounded,
 oh-oh
