These are Avoidant chords by Melanie Martinez for Piano and Ukulele.
[Intro]
C E F Fm
[Verse 1]
C
Whoever hurt you
E
Don't love like I do
F
I've kept my hand in the pot for
Fm
way too long till it falls off
C
What are you hiding?
E
The teeth I'm pulling?
F
I've kept my arms ajar while you
Fm
took the car to keep fighting
[Pre-chorus 1]
C
Push and pull like tug-of-war,
E
when you
Leave, I know it's never
F
long till you
Fall back on your face,
Fm
why don't you just hold me?
C E
I'm no psychic, what you thinking? But
F
I predict that you'll be leaving but
Don't learn here just to give her
Fm
there, I worked for this
[Chorus]
C E
And you never wanted my love anyway
F
A detrimental game you play
Fm
I can't wait here forever
C
It's true, I probably
E
could find better, but
F
I'm asking you to step it up
Fm
Don't hurt me like they did to you

[Post-chorus]
C E F Fm
[Verse 2]
C
What are your secrets?
E
Are they worth keeping?
F
Just let your guard disintegrate,
Fm
tell me all the ways you're feeling
C
What are you fearing?
E
That I'll be leaving?
F
The more you stitch your lips until
Fm
nothing slips, I could see it
[Pre-chorus 2]
C
Push and pull, like
E
tug-of-war, when you
Leave, it brings me to
F
the edge of doom
Next time you fall on your knees,
Fm
I won't heal you
C
I'm no psychic, I don't
E
know if you'll
Fight for this or fight for yourself
F
'Cause the next time I hear
Fm
you yell at me, I am running
[Chorus 2]
C E
'Cause you never wanted my love anyway
F
A detrimental game you play
Fm
I won't wait here forever
C E
It's true, I probably could find better
F
But I think I'm better off alone
Fm
I've dealt with ones just like you
[Bridge]
C
If the fall of our memory
E
comes to be true
Then I'll know I did everything
F
I could do
To show you the depth of what
Fm
love can pursue
Ooh-ooh-ooh
C
When you're out there,
E
talking to someone new
Think of everything that
F
I have given you
Fm
Maybe she can get some of that too
C
That's what my love can do
