[Verse]
EmDisappointment pours doCwn on me
Should’ve known it by nGowD  
EmThe nicest words end up bCe
Nothing more than those vGowelsD  
EmThe past is getting in the waCy
You want to leave what went dGownD  
EmLike you hold up an imagiCnary vail
Put pGause on the people arDound
I keep wConder and wonder
what is your trGue intDention
We were hCappy so happy
Was that the wrGong percDeption
All this Csilence this silence
Makes me think GI might cDause it
CI don’t have the patience to go Gon like thDis
[Chorus]
I got Emno expectations
No more lCong awaited situations
GI won’t see the phone light up lDater in the evening
EmNo indications
Don’t sit lCongin’ to hear your persuasions
GI’m not worth the hurtin of that cDonstant waitinEmgC  
So I got Gno expecDtations from now on
[Verse 2]
 EmYou could argue I’m given sCigns
 But in that case I can’t sGeeD  
 EmAll I got was an indCicating line
 Should’ve knGown was worth ignorDing
Flowers pCile up and pile up
on the flGoor nDaked
My heart gCive up and give up
Is this mGe faDiling
I’m just Cno one you know of
and I am dGone strDaying
CI don’t trust no one else from nGow on sDaying
[Chorus]
I got Emno expectations
No more lCong awaited situations

Disappointment pours down on me

G D

Should’ve known it by now

Em C

The nicest words end up be

G D

Nothing more than those vowels

Em C

The past is getting in the way

G D

You want to leave what went down

Em C

Like you hold up an imaginary vail

G D

Put pause on the people around

I keep wonder and wonder

G D

what is your true intention

We were happy so happy

Was that the wrong perception

All this silence this silence

G D

Makes me think I might cause it

C G D

I don’t have the patience to go on like this

[Verse 2]

Em C

You could argue I’m given signs

G D

But in that case I can’t see

Em C

All I got was an indicating line

G D

Should’ve known was worth ignoring

Flowers pile up and pile up

G D

on the floor naked

My heart give up and give up

G D

Is this me failing

I’m just no one you know of

G D

and I am done straying

C G D

I don’t trust no one else from now on saying

[Chorus]

I got no expectations

No more long awaited situations

Why do you have to go and lock me out when it was all your fault

Oh how I fell for those words

Em C

I can’t believe in

G D

Magical scenes past this hurt

Chorus]

I got no expectations

No more long awaited situations
