verse 1
Am
We are just fun on a trial run
G (D) (Em)
Does it make us cool to play this out 'til summer?
Am
Kiss in the car, meeting in the park
G (D) (Em)
Did I ever doubt that you could be this far out?
Pre-Chorus
D
And you're not the guy you always wanted to be
G
Imagination running wild like the 70s
D
Bet you don't know where the time goes
G
I'm not coming back to watch you wearing your heart out
G D C
Did you think that I was down for whatever?
G D C
'Cause I dont wanna hate you more than you'll ever know
D
Talk about us waking up from the summer
G
Guess it's a frame of mind
G D C
Praying that you wouldn't call it vanilla
G D C
I don't wanna teach you shit you don't understand
G D C
Call me something bittersweet 'cause you're clever
G
It's just a frame of mind
verse 2
Am
Where are we now? What's the load down?
G (D) (Em)
Can I play the fool for what feels like a lifetime?
Am
Driving so far, kissing in the dark
G (D) (Em)
Did I ever think that you could be a sell out?
Pre-Chorus
D G
And I'm not the girl you always want me to be
Manipulation on the road from monogamy

Bet you don't know where my mind goes

Bet you don't know, oh, oh

Did you think that I was down for whatever?

We are just vanilla

We weren't always so bland

Got a lot to learn in love

I know who you'll put your money on

When it's all to play for
