[Verse 1]
BYou got me high on second fumes
CBold city nights and smoking rooms
G#mI know your story off by heart
EYou fabricated every part
BYou talk too much then say nothing
BI'm just the face that buys the drinks
PG#maris, L.A. and all that shit
EYou got it how you wanted it
[Pre-Chorus]
But Bmmm, then you say, then you say
That you need me for life
But G#mmmm, I'm okay, I'm okay this tEime
[Chorus]
N.C.                              B
'Cause where were you when I was lonely?
Now you acting like you knBow me
There's 100 ways to tell you G#mno
Another 100 more to let you Ego, go, go
Where were you when I was lBonely?
