turned out to be hearCtburn
and my acEmid reflux stopDped her
from making ouGt

And on the way bGack down the hiCghway

One by oEmne, first came Cfear, and then came loveD  
So I'll nEmever D/F#put my seGlf out tChere agaDin
And I'll Dmkeep all D/F#of my loGvers juCst as friendsD

[Intro]

What I thought was love

turned out to be heartburn

Em D

and my acid reflux stopped her

from making out

C D

with me at a drive through movie

[Verse 1]

G C

And on the way back down the highway

Em C

I felt my emotions dying

Em C D

One by one, first came fear, and then came love

Em D/F# G C D

So I'll never put my self out there again

Dm D/F# G C D

And I'll keep all of my lovers just as friends

[Chorus]

So let me be honest

Let me forgive her,

Em C

Let me forget about my dad

G D

Let me direct it to something useful

Em D C

Let me pretend I have a plan

G D

Let me just pick a path and stick to it

Em D C

Like its all that I have

Let me forget

How to regret

And be my old man

[Solo]

D Em C G

D Em D C

Am D

[Verse 2]

G C

So I put myself out there again

Em D

Cuz I'm a fuckin' liar

G C D

But only to myself I like to think

G C

And all my lovers went and left me

Em D

Cuz they claim that I'm a liar

Em C

Just because I told them I loved them

Well man you got me there

Em D/F# G C D

But I swear to god I'd never hurt nobody

Em D/F# G C D

The only body I can hurts the one I own

[Chorus]

So let me be honest

Let me forgive her,

Em C

Let me forget about my dad

G D

Let me direct it to something useful

Let me pretend I have a plan

Let me forget about my dad

Let me direct it to something useful

Let me pretend I have a plan
