Notes:
-For the G/D, alternate hitting the third fret on the high D string
-Play the D in the verses in quick downstrokes
[Verse 1]
DYou know it's unfair that I am here and you are there
DI feel short in the exchange- I show you mine you walk away
I'm wearinGg mine out on my sleeve, you're wearing yours where I can't see
           D*                  A  G  
But I'll remember your face for years to come
    D*                                A  G  
And wonder what you thought about when you got home
G/D
[Verse 2]
DHonesty is like a kiss on the lips
Come closer and I'll tell you exactly how it is
Now GI'm barely breathing, I'm moving ahead
       D*
But if I see you smile, it's gonna knock me dead
[Bridge]
                     Dm  Dm*
I'm stiff in my tracks trying to recover
From Bm7/Dwhatever drug you used to G/Dput me under
[Chorus]
D6I don't believe in love at first sight
D6*
I don't believe in love at first sight

It's hard enough for me to not fall in love with every person I see
D
[Verse 3]
DI let my mind get turned inside out
Just to see what the kids were laughing about
It D/Gwasn't worth understanding something
I cA6ould've gone my whole life not knowing
[Verse 4]
DYou know what they say about curiositD/Gy
That murderer had his chokehold on meBm7  
I ran away without turning back

Eyes open wide in the front row
D6Dark features, leaning on the doorframe
D6*
I would've sold my soul to know his first name
[Chorus]
