Intro.: G Em C D

G Em C D
Call it instinct, but I think she's gone for good this time

'Cause every time she's left she leaves her toothbrush behind

It just now dawned on me

I was thinking of us, and there it was

I bent down to pick up the trash off the waste basket and saw the worn down bristles of a toothbrush


G Em C D
And this could be the best thing for you and me

I don't know, it just feels like it

I know we swore no strings attached

But that was before we realized it


Em Am C D
And it's like you said

You should learn to be a little less emotional

And instead, we could be more practical

And I bet you thought I was gullible

When you said,

Let's not take this personal


G Em C D
And everyone said watch your step unless you like the tightrope

But falling's the best part regardless of how hard it is

Who needs a net?

Hoping no one gets hurt playing with fire

But somehow somebody always gets burnt

It's a small price to pay just to play with the flames

That's why I never listened


G Em C D
And this could be the best thing for you and me

I don't know it just feels like it

I know we swore no strings attached

But that was before we realized it
