[Verse 1]
AnDmaj7d in the night, it was a Adrunken stutEter
Started as Dmaj7a next to nothing conversation
AAnd then he's tearing me out
TEaking me apart at my frieDnd's house
I Awas uncomfortable, I was Ehurt
Still with blue innDmaj7ocence in his eyes
I felt my reasAoning was harshE  
[Verse 2]
With every sDmaj7tab wound and Dexhale, I Apromised myseElf
That I would neDmaj7ver lose my youthful fears of gArown up men
I'm scaErred with cruel intenDmaj7tions
I thAought of another the whEole timeDmaj7  
Who would have Anever stared me like thatE  Dmaj7  
See, he saw me as a humAanE  D  
AThis one thinks I'm a slEaughterhouse
[Pre-Chorus]
DHe pretends that he's undersAtanding
And you kEnow in the grand Dmaj7scheme of everything
He's pArobably called a Enice man
Or an oDmaj7rdinary kind of man
Or a stAereotype with stronEg hands, I'm so saDmaj7d
At how littlAe joy I realized withiEn my time with my ex gDmaj7uy
Before these stAatues arrivEed
[Chorus]
RomDmaj7ance is dead and done
And it hAits between the eyes on tEhis sideDmaj7  A  E  
The grDmaj7ass is dead and barren
And it huArts between my thighs on thEis sideD  A  E  
[Verse 3]
I could beDmaj7gin to open up and rDisk deAsire
For I move sloEwer and quieDmaj7ter than most
DI gArew up too quick and I stEill forgive too slDmaj7owA  E  
Oh, I wiDmaj7sh there was another wayA  E

D A E

[Verse 1]

Dmaj7 A E

And in the night, it was a drunken stutter

Dmaj7

Started as a next to nothing conversation

And then he's tearing me out

E D

Taking me apart at my friend's house

A E

I was uncomfortable, I was hurt

Dmaj7

Still with blue innocence in his eyes

A E

I felt my reasoning was harsh

[Verse 2]

Dmaj7 D A E

With every stab wound and exhale, I promised myself

Dmaj7 A

That I would never lose my youthful fears of grown up men

E Dmaj7

I'm scarred with cruel intentions

A E Dmaj7

I thought of another the whole time

A E Dmaj7

Who would have never stared me like that

A E D

See, he saw me as a human

A E

This one thinks I'm a slaughterhouse

[Pre-Chorus]

D A

He pretends that he's understanding

E Dmaj7

And you know in the grand scheme of everything

A E

He's probably called a nice man

Dmaj7

Or an ordinary kind of man

A E Dmaj7

Or a stereotype with strong hands, I'm so sad

A E Dmaj7

At how little joy I realized within my time with my ex guy

A E

Before these statues arrived

[Chorus]

Dmaj7

Romance is dead and done

A E Dmaj7 A E

And it hits between the eyes on this side

Dmaj7

The grass is dead and barren

A E D A E

And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Verse 3]

Dmaj7 D A

I could begin to open up and risk desire

E Dmaj7

For I move slower and quieter than most

D A E Dmaj7 A E

I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow

Dmaj7 A E

Oh, I wish there was another way

[Chorus]

Dmaj7

Romance is dead and done

A E Dmaj7 A E

And it hits between the eyes on this side

Dmaj7

The grass is dead and barren

A E D A E

And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Bridge]

Dmaj7 A E

See me here, meet me here

Dmaj7 A F#m

I don't care if it's not repeated

Dmaj7

I want to know who you are

A E

For every second we outrun the moon, dread the sun come up

Dmaj7

I want to know who you are

A F#m

So I don't have to check my stuff's still here when you're gone

Dmaj7 A E

I want to know who you are

Dmaj7 A E

I want to know who you were

[Chorus]

Dmaj7

Romance is dead and done

A E D A E

And it hits between the eyes on this side

Dmaj7

The grass is dead and barren

A E D A

And it hurts between my thighs on this side

[Outro]

E Dmaj7 A

This side

E Dmaj7 A

This side

E Dmaj7 A

This side

E Dmaj7 A
