Intro: A 

Verse:  

A    E           Bm           D  
It's unclear now, what we intend 
A    E           Bm           D  
We're alone in our own world 
A    E           Bm           D  
You don't wanna be my boyfriend 
A    E           Bm           D  
And I don't wanna be your girl 

 
A             E     
And that, that's a relief 
Bm 
We'll drink up our grief 
D 
And pine for summer 
A              E 
And we'll buy beer to shotgun 
Bm 
And we'll lay in the lawn 
D 
And we'll be good 



A E Bm D (4x)


Verse: 
 

A     E                Bm       D 
Now I'm laughing at my boredom 
A      E              Bm       D 
At my string of failed attempts 
A                 E        Bm     D  
Because you think that it's important 
A     E                Bm     D 
And I welcome the sentiment 


 
A                              E 
And we talk on the phone at night 
Bm 
Until it's daylight 
D 
And I feel clever 
A                                E 
And I hear the slow in your speech 
             Bm 
Yeah you're half asleep 
D 
Say goodnight 



A E Bm D (4x)  


Verse:
 
A           E       Bm            D 
Now I've got friendships to mend 
A   E           Bm    D 
I'm selfishly dispossessed 
A  E              Bm           D 
You don't wanna be my boyfriend 
A              E               Bm     D 
And that's probably for the best 


 
A                      E 
Because that, that gets messy 
Bm 
And you will hurt me 
D 
Or I'll disappear 
A                               E 
So we will drink beer all day 
Bm 
And our guards will give way 
D 
And we'll be good 


A E Bm D (4x)
