VERSE 
    E      G        C     G 
I try so hard to ignore it 
    E       G        C     G 
I try to pretend I don't care 
    E        G         C     G 
But by the way my heart is pounding 
     E              G        C         G 
It's impossible to pretend it's not for you 

PRE Chorus 
 E       C G     D 
You act so innocent 
 E           C       G         D 
I know you love to keep me waiting 

       C           G  
I'm a mess around you 
        E            C#m 
There's no way out of this 

     C         G        E        C#m 
And you know exactly what you're doing 
     C       G     E 
You know I'm so done 
   C#m       
It's not fair 
   C             G         E    C#m 
Can't stay but I can't let you go 

verse 2: E G C G (same order as above) 
You know you're so confusing 
And I should have already said goodbye 
But just when I'm about to lose it 
You turn this around to include me one more time
