when asked how to play the song (link below)

* The Am7 is optional and even though Will didn't mention it being played, you can hear that in the chords
that play in the left channel during the outro it's briefly strummed once. You don't have to play it, but
it adds a nice element to the progression.

[Verse 1]

Feelings would

I'm a stupid u

              
gly stuttering

 
 asshole
              
And there's no

 anger

            
Mind if I coug

              
h in your ear 

    
all night?
             
Mind if I rese

              
nt you for a y

     
ear tonight?
           
I am not the t


ype of man
             
Who can fall a

         
sleep in someo

ne else's arms

ll
              
I love you som

 
etimes

I love you
         
But it's hard 

to say
          
There are time

         
s when I don't

 
 love
             
I can't love a

          
nything in thi

[Verse 2]

            
It doesn't mat

    
ter what I say
             
If you don't s

 response
              
The final phra

      
se of my last

sentence
             
Hangs in the a

             
ir, sounding s

tupider and st

upider

            
Why can't you 

         
at least laugh
             
I tried so har

              
d to find the 

      
right words
            
It's a matter 

     
of timing, you

              
 only have so 


long
              
To capture the

         
 feeling befor

       
e it's gone

   


[Bridge 2]

            
Here is a demo

              
 of my latest 


sentence
             
I'll fill in t

              
he good parts 


later
             
I'll make it f

             
it together re

And cut out al

[Verse 3]

             
Two days ago w


as really bad
             
I couldn't get

         
 my head strai

        
ght all day
              
And everything

          
 you said seem


ed to have an 

edge
             
You were disap

              
pointed and I 


didn't know wh

y

            
Eventually it 


came to a head
             
Over something

    
 as stupid as 

making coffee
            
You said it wa

    
s a mistake to

 ever try and 

help me
        
Then you went 

in the kitchen

            
I drove off to

    
 go buy some s

tuff
             
Which was a mi


stake because
            
I didn't want 

   
to come back
             
I just sat in 

              
the parking lo

  
t

            
And dabbed at 

              
my thumb, whic

      
h was bleeding

Leaving a trai

kin
            
I felt sick an

w what to do
             
How long would

              
 it be before 


I could face y
