[G] [C] [Em]
[G]He [C]never had cool [Em]stories
He doesn’t make your [G]heart beat
[C]Used to love his [Em]mystery,
But now he’s just [G]exhausting.
[C]Another day [Em]spent just laying in his [G]room.
The [C]stench of [Em]incense, and some undelivered [G]food.


[C] [Em] [G] [C] [Em]
[G]And [D]she [Em]thought,
“What if [C]he thinks I’m the [G]one?
And I’ll be [D]forced to rot [Em]away,
With [C]him and his ob[G]sessions,
With [D]trivial [Em]things. [C]
Like the [G]amount of fucking [D]love hearts,
I [Em]finish a text [C]message [G]with.


[C] [Em] [G] [C] [Em]
[G]And [C]when you hold his [Em]hands
It doesn’t feel like [G]flying
And [C]when you take his [Em]breath away
He might as well be [G]dying
And [C]you’re dying to [Em]breathe
You’re trapped in his [G]cage [C]
And it’s [Em]shrinking


[G]And [D]she [Em]thought
“What if [C]he just never [G]leaves?
Or if he [D]doesn’t get the [Em]message?
And he [C]doesn’t hear my [G]please?”
So [D]she just started [Em]screaming. [C]


[G]”Why can’t [D]he just [Em]bore [C]me to death?”
[G]”Why can’t [D]he just [Em]bore [C]me to death?”
Oh, [G]”Why can’t [D]he just [Em]bore [C]me to death?”
[G]”Why can’t [D]he just [Em]bore [C]me to death?”
Oh, [G]”Why can’t [D]he just [Em]bore [C]me to death?”
[G]”Why can’t [D]he just [Em]bore [C]me to death?”
Oh, [G]”Why can’t [D]he just [Em]bore [C]me to death?”
