And iArony is okaF#my, I suppose, cDulture is to Eblame
You trAy and mask your pF#main in the mDost postmodern Eway
You lack subsAtance when you sF#may
Something liDke, "Oh, what a Eshame"
It's just a sAelf-referential wF#may that stops you Dhaving to be Ehuman
I'm asAsuming you'll baF#mlloon when you reDmove the dirty Espoon
And start consAuming like a F#mhuman, that's Dwhat I am asEsuming
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm Asure that yF#mou're not jDust another Egirl
I'm Asure that F#myou're gonna Dsay that I was Esexist
I Afeel like F#myou're running Dout of all the Ethings

EWhy can't we be fAriends, when we are loF#mvers?

[Verse 1]

A F#m D E

And irony is okay, I suppose, culture is to blame

A F#m D E

You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way

A F#m

You lack substance when you say

D E

Something like, "Oh, what a shame"

A F#m D E

It's just a self-referential way that stops you having to be human

A F#m D E

I'm assuming you'll balloon when you remove the dirty spoon

A F#m D E

And start consuming like a human, that's what I am assuming

[Pre-Chorus]

A F#m D E

I'm sure that you're not just another girl

A F#m D E

I'm sure that you're gonna say that I was sexist

A F#m D E

I feel like you're running out of all the things

A F#m D

I liked you for

[Chorus]

E A F#m

Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?

D E

'Cause it always ends with us hating each other

A F#m

Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in

D E

I've just got one more thing to say

A F#m D E

[Verse 2]

A F#m

And why would you believe

D E

You could control how you're perceived

A F#m

When at your best you're intermediately

D E

Versed in your own feelings?

A F#m

Keep on putting off conceiving

D E

It's only you that you're deceiving

A F#m D

Oh, don't have a child, don't cramp your style, I'll leave it

[Chorus]

E A F#m

Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?

D E

'Cause it always ends with us hating each other

A F#m

Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in

D E

I've just got one more thing to say

[Outro]

A F#m D

I'm just pissed off because you pied me off

E A

After your show when you let go of my hand

F#m D E

In front of some sket who wanted to bitch on you

A F#m D E
