[Verse 1]
I tried to be Amsomeone
I lied to be someone else for Dmyou
If I had done Amsomething a little bit differently
We would've Dmmoved in a better direction than this, baby
[Interlude] (x2)
Am F
[Verse 2]
If you were Amhuman
If you were who I assumed you were
You wouldn't have Dmdone this
I thought I did Amsomething
But she would do Dmanything to bring me down
And she brought me down
[Interlude] (x4)
Am F
[Bridge Interlude] (x2)
Am G Dm C
[Chorus]               
You say that you Amlove me
But you act like you don't
You used to aGdore me
Laughed at all of my jokes
Don't take this the Dmwrong way
You put me in Charm's way
When we had our Amfirst kiss it was your favorite thing
And you weren't Glying when you said it would sting
Don't take this the Dmwrong way
You put me in Charm's way
[Chorus 2]
Imagine our Amchildren
How fucked would they be?
Mommy's a Gpsycho
Daddy lives in a dream
Don't take this the Dmwrong way
              C
[Chorus 3]
I told you I'm Amsorry
Couldn't thank you enough
I thought that I Gloved you but
We weren't in love
We weren't in Dmlove
You were my Cdream
The way we would fuck
(each chord gets one strum now)
You liked to Amthink
We would push through the bad
Ignoring the Gproblems just to hold what we had
Don't take this the Dmwrong way
Don't take this the wrong Cway
[Outro]
Am G Dm C
Am

[Verse 1]

I tried to be someone

I lied to be someone else for you

If I had done something a little bit differently

We would've moved in a better direction than this, baby

[Interlude] (x2)

Am F

[Verse 2]

If you were human

If you were who I assumed you were

You wouldn't have done this

I thought I did something

But she would do anything to bring me down

And she brought me down

[Chorus]

You say that you love me

But you act like you don't

You used to adore me

Laughed at all of my jokes

Don't take this the wrong way

You put me in harm's way

When we had our first kiss it was your favorite thing

And you weren't lying when you said it would sting

Don't take this the wrong way

You put me in harm's way

[Chorus 2]

Imagine our children

How fucked would they be?

Mommy's a psycho

Daddy lives in a dream

Don't take this the wrong way

[Chorus 3]

I told you I'm sorry

Couldn't thank you enough

I thought that I loved you but

We weren't in love

You were my dream

The way we would fuck

(each chord gets one strum now)

You liked to think

We would push through the bad

Ignoring the problems just to hold what we had

Don't take this the wrong way
