[Verse 1]
AmWe are just fun on a trial run
                                 G(D)       (Em)
Does it make us cool to play this out 'til summer?
AmKiss in the car, meeting in the park
                              G(D)          (Em)
Did I ever doubt that you could be this far out?
[Pre-Chorus]
DAnd you're not the guy you always wanted to be
GImagination running wild like the 70s
DBet you don't know where the time goes
I'm not coming bGack to watch you wearing your heart out
[Chorus]
GDid you think that DI was dCown for whatever?
'Cause GI dont wanna hDate you moCre than you'll ever know
DTalk about us waking up from the summer
GGuess it's a frame of mind
GPraying that you Dwouldn't Ccall it vanilla
GI don't wanna Dteach you sChit you don't understand
GCall me something bDitterCsweet 'cause you're clever
GIt's just a frame of mind
[Verse 2]
AmWhere are we now? What's the load down?
                                   G(D)      (Em)
Can I play the fool for what feels like a lifetime?
AmDriving so far, kissing in the dark
                              G(D)        (Em)
Did I ever think that you could be a sell out?
[Pre-Chorus]
DAnd I'm not the girl you always want me to Gbe
Manipulation on the road from monogamy
DBet you don't know where my mind goes
Bet you don't knGow, oh, oh
[Chorus]
GDid you think that DI was dCown for whatever?
'Cause GI dont wanna hDate you moCre than you'll ever know
DTalk about us waking up from the summer
GGuess it's a frame of mind
GPraying that you Dwouldn't Ccall it vanilla
GI don't wanna Dteach you sChit you don't understand
GCall me something bDitterCsweet 'cause you're clever
GIt's just a frame of mind
[Bridge]
GWe are just vanDilla
CWe weren't always so bland
But Amwe were just fun on a trial run
Oh, Git was a frame of mind
GGot a lot to learn in love
I know who you'll pCut your money on
DWhen it's all to play for
GGuess you never had the nerve, did you?
AmIt's just a frame of mind
[Chorus]
GDid you think that DI was dCown for whatever?
