     G            C            G 
It's trivia, the tangles in my hair. 
                E5     
Winter hat on my bedroom floor, 
        Am        C 
next to your underwear. 
    G                 C                      G 
And pretty soon I'll have nothing left to cut loose. 
                   E5                 Am    C 
Being clumsy's an explanation, not an excuse. 

G C G C G E5 Am C 

 G                   C         G                    
Lately I think about insecurity, 
                         E5              Am    C 
how I'm not real sure I even know what it means. 
G                    C              G 
Pushing through each boring, blurry day. 
                  E5             Am   C 
This behavior is a method, not a phase. 

G C G C G E5 Am C 

G                     C                G 
You spell it out, how I mistreated you, 
                             E5            Am      C         
and I'm silent. You know I treat myself badly, too. 
       G                             C         G             
So, I write Jordan letters to say I'm trying to learn 
                           E5           Am      C 
and say I'm sorry for how I acted that one summer. 

G C G C G E5 Am C 

          G                     C            G 
I know I've fucked up. I've put people through hell. 
                           E5              Am    C 
Well, I guess I just don't know myself that well. 
    G                       C              G 
He forgives, forgets and he thinks that I'm uptight, 
                       E5           Am   C 
and I'm learning about loneliness each night. 
        G              E5           Am   C 
Yeah I'm learning about loneliness each night.
