Intro
verse 1
A F#m C#m E
My heart falls on my chest, beats crazy when I'm around you
A F#m C#m E
Most times I'm sweating bullets soon as we're let outta school
A F#m C#m E
'Cause I don't wanna find you standing there with somebody new
A F#m C#m E
I think I have to kill myself if somebody knew
Pre-Chorus 1
A F#m C#m E
The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it
A F#m C#m E
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded
Chorus
A F#m
I go back and forth and now I'm wondering
C#m E
Why you're so caught up in his lust
A F#m
I stand outside with distance
C#m E
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
A F#m
I can't stand how it feels
C#m E
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A F#m
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
C#m E
A flame that went out before it burned
verse 2
A F#m C#m E
I never tried, it's so one-sided, so I can't blame you
A F#m C#m E
There's no denying I caught your eye, then I looked at my shoes
A F#m C#m E
I pray so hard, need back those chances I always blew
A F#m C#m E
I think I have to kill myself if somebody knew
Pre-Chorus 2
A F#m C#m E
The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it
A F#m C#m E
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded
A F#m C#m E
And all that I need is that simple sound from those lips
A F#m
'Cause you've been playing me over and over again
C#m
Playing me over and over again
Chorus
A F#m
I go back and forth and now I'm wondering

I stand outside with distance
C#m E
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
A F#m
I can't stand how it feels
C#m E
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A F#m
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
C#m E
A flame that went out before it burned
