Verse 1:

Palm mute, slightly accentuate 2&4

              G                C9
Look like a lush, Talk like a tease,
Em7     D/F#  C9
The way you like it.
                  G                   C9
In front of your house, alone on the street,
    Em7     D/F#   C9
you ask me to come in-side.

No Palm Mute
C9 (one strum )              (See First Filler)
Asleep through all our classes,
C9 (one strum )
you hang me out to dry.

Chorus Chords:  (no palm-mute)
              G                  C9
If this is a test, I?m losing my shit
                      Em7    D/F#      C9
Would it kill you to care as much as I did,
              G                    C9
If this is a test, I?m wasting my breath
           Em7    D/F#     C9
You?re a stranger I know well, and not at all.

(While playing intro you can sing the do do do do do part that william sings)

Verse 1 Chords

Heart on a hook,

thrown out to the sea,

your basement busy.

Sitting in the dark,

I turn the radio off for a

phone call you?ll likely miss.

Wake me when it?s over.

The last sound of goodbye.

Chorus:

If this is a test, I?m losing my shit

Would it kill you to care as much as I did?

If this is a test, I?m wasting my breath

You?re a stranger I know well, and not at all.

Intro again

First filler twice (in between each filler, chislett taps his guitar three times on the then plays again.)

Bridge:

Palm mute similar to verse.
          Em7      D/F#           C9                 Em7 D/F# C9
"Let?s imagine the end before we even begin," you said.

"Let's imagine the end before we even begin," you said. (you said, you said)

Chorus:

If this is a test, I?m losing my shit

Would it kill you to care, as much as I did

If this is a test, I?m wasting my breath

You?re a stranger I know well, and not at all.

If this is a test, I'm losing my shit

Would it kill you to care, as much as i did

If this is a test, I'm wasting my breath

You'res a stranger I know well, and not at all.
