C# D#m A#m F#
C#My friends say I know D#mbetter
A#mbut I’m still F#hanging around.
C#I’ve heard D#mso many rumors,
A#mthat I’m just somebody that F#you joke about.
C#I thought you D#mthought of me better,
A#msomeone F#you couldn’t lose.
C#You said, “D#mWe’re not together”
so A#mnow when we talk, I don’t F#know what is true.
G#You said, “Baby, F#it’s apparent”
But we’re
C#Curled up in the D#mpassenger seat, *tryin’ to A#mfigure you out –
is it F#casual now?
C#Two weeks and your D#mmom invites me to her A#mhouse on Long Beach
Is it F#casual now?
C#I know what you tell your D#mfriends
A#mIt’s casual, if it’s F#casual now
C#Then, baby, don’t call me aD#mgain
A#mIf it’s casual, it’s F#casual now
C#Young love, I D#mlove playing cupid,
A#mdream of us in a F#year.
C#Maybe we’d D#mhave an apartment
A#mand you’d show me off to your F#friends at the pier
G#You said, “Baby, F#it’s apparent”
But we’re
C#Curled up in the D#mpassenger seat, *tryin’ to A#mfigure you out –
is it F#casual now?
C#Two weeks and your D#mmom invites me to her A#mhouse on Long Beach
Is it F#casual now?
C#I know what you tell your D#mfriends
A#mIt’s casual, if it’s F#casual now
C#Then, baby, don’t call me aD#mgain
A#mIf it’s casual, oh F#oh oh
D#m It’s hard being G#casual
when my A#mfavorite songs still play F#on your speaker.
And D#m it’s hard being G#casual
when I A#mstill make plans with your F#little sister.
And D#m I try to be a G#listener
A#mthat holds my tongue and F#gives you space.
D#m I try to be the G#listener
A#mbut honestly, I’m F#not…
C#Curled up in the D#mpassenger seat, *tryin’ to A#mfigure you out… F#
C#Two weeks and your D#mmom invites me to her A#mhouse on Long Beach F#
C#I know what you tell your D#mfriends A#m F#
C#Baby, don’t call me D#magain… A#m F#
C#I broke down in the bathroom D#mwhen we went to dinner,
A#myour parents at the table – F#I held it all together.
C#Bragging to your friends, like you D#mwere proud about it,
A#mI hate to tell the truth, but F#I’m sorry, dude you did it.
C#I’m *tired of letting this drag D#mon so long, now I A#mchoose myG#self.
C#I’m done letting this drag D#mon so long, go find F#someone G#else…
