[Verse 1]
Dmaj    D#dim7                    Em
I walk away from you all of the time
            Dmaj7/A
We sleep in different beds
        Dmaj7
every night
            D#dim7
You say you love me, in reality
   Em                     A7b13
We fight till I lose my mind
Dmaj7    D#dim7                  Em
I try to keep up with all I do wrong
         Dmaj7/A               Dmaj7
You hate all of my favourite songs
             D#dim7
I don't think I can tell
you anything
     Em                     A7b13
It's goin' on for way too long

[Pre-chorus]
  G
I think it's pretty obvious
     A/F#           B11
But you're pretty oblivious
   G
So I'll be the one to
           A7b13
break the bad news

[Chorus]
    Dmaj7    D#dim7
I'm bored...
              Em
Of saying the same things
              A7b13
I've already said
   Dmaj7    D#dim7
So bored...
              Em
Of talking to walls over
           A7b13
and over again
Em7             F#
Hope it doesn't seem
              D/B
Like I'll put up with this forever
            E
just 'cause you like me
        G                A7b13
I don't hate the way I'm yours
         N.C.
I'm just bored

Dmaj7     D#dim7                  Em
You walk away from me all of the time
  Dmaj7/A                 Dmaj7
I dream about different guys
         D#dim7
I say "I love you",
               Em          A7b13
in reality I'm tellin' a lie

already said (already said)

I don't hate the way I'm yours
         Dmaj7
I'm just bored

D#dim7 Em  A7b13      Dmaj7
I'm so bored,  I'm so bored,
D#dim7  Em   A7b13
I'm   so  bored
