Verse 1:

Palm mute, slightly accentuate 2&4

              G5                C5
Look like a lush, Talk like a tease,
E5     D5  C5
The way you like it.
                  G5                   C5
In front of your house, alone on the street,
    E5     D5   C5
you ask me to come in-side.

No Palm Mute
C5 (one strum )              (See First Filler)
Asleep through all our classes,
C5 (one strum )
you hang me out to dry.

Chorus Chords:  (no palm-mute)
              G5                  C5
If this is a test, I?m losing my shit
                      E5    D5      C5
Would it kill you to care as much as I did,
              G5                    C5
If this is a test, I?m wasting my breath
           E5    D5     C5
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.
          E5      D5           C5                 E5 D5 C5
"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.
