You know my ex, so that makes

 it all feel complicated, yeah
    F5        D#5     C#5
(It all seems complicated)
                 F5             
I read those texts that you sent

[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
      F5
(I'll never say—)
    D#5         C#5
You walked in my life at 2 AM
F5       D#5          C#5
  'Cause my boys knew, girl, 
  that's your best friend
F5  D#5                C#5
    Act like you don't see me,
 won't play pretend
F5     D#5          C#5     
  Your eyes already told me 
               F5
  what you never said
N.C.             C#5     
Now we're in the backseat 
               F5         D#5
of the black car, goin' home
         C#5           F5   
When she ask me "Is it wrong 
           D#5
if I come up with you?"
      C#5                    F5
We're both drunk on the elevator
       D#5                 C#5
When I kissed you for the first
 time in New York City, uh

[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
C#5              F5       D#5
  I swear to God, I never fall
   in love
C#5                       F5    
  Then you showed up and I can't
       D#5
   get enough of it
C#5              F5       D#5
  I swear to God, I never fall in love
C#5                          F5    
  I never fall in love, but I can't
       D#5
   get enough of it

[Verse 2: blackbear]
C#5                      
First off, I'm not sorry,
           F5           D#5
 I won't apologize to nobody
    C#5                     
You play like I'm invisible, 
        F5                       D#5
girl, don't act like you ain't saw me
C#5                             F5  
Last year was a mess and how I acted
        D#5
 was beyond me
        C#5                    
But the past still revolves me,
      F5                 D#5
 you text me, I ain't responding
    C#5              F5  D#5   C#5 
But now shit's done changed, go our 
             F5 D#5
separate ways
    C#5
But look at this damage you 
did to me
             F5           
I still want nothing to do 
         D#5
between you and me
                 C#5
Please don't say nothin' at all,
 sound so true to me
             F5
We don't got nothin' to say, hey!
