[Intro]
G F# C D7

[Verse 1]
G                F#
 I said I wanted thin mints
        C                   D
And you said you knew a guy
G                     Em
 You showed up with a boombox
    C             D
And stars in your eyes
G                     Em
 Who knew cuddling on trampolines
C            D
 Could be so reckless?
G               Em
 We bonded over Black Eyed Peas
    C            D
And complicated exes
C
Fell so deeply into it
D
It was all so innocent

[Chorus]
          G
Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
      F
I got death threats
filling up semi-trucks
C
Tell me who I am

Guess I don't have a choice
D#
All because I liked
      G
I'm a hot topic on your tongue
      F
I'm a rebound gettin' round
stealin' from the young
C
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy

[Post-Chorus]
G
  Ooh, oh

[Verse 2]
G             F#
 I'm not catastrophizing
C               D
 Everything's derailing
G               Em
 Was only tryna hold you close
C                     D
 While your heart was failing
G                      Em
 It's not "entered an illusion"
    C               D
Just two kids going through it
    G
You said I'm too late to
        Em
be your first love
         C              D
But I'll always be your favorite

[Chorus]
          G
Now I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut
      F
I got death threats filling
up semi-trucks
C
Tell me who I am

Guess I don't have a choice
D#
All because I liked
      G
I'm a hot topic on your tongue
      F
I'm a rebound gettin' round
stealin' from the young
C
Tell me who I am
Guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy

Dating boys with exes

I'm a homewrecker, I'm a slut

I got death threats filling
up semi-trucks

Tell me who I am

Guess I don't have a choice
D#                    G
All because I liked a boy

And all of this for what?
     F
When everything went down

We'd already broken up
        C
Please, tell me who I am

Guess I don't have a choice
D#
All because I liked a boy
