[Intro]
Am7 G Am7 G
[Verse 1]
Am7
I shouldn't look for someone like you
G
Who daydreams too much about wasting their youth
Am7 G
And I shouldn’t care, and I shouldn't care, but I do
Am7
And I shouldn't stay up until 2 A.M.
G
Hopelessly wondering what I can mend
Am7 Gmaj7
And I shouldn’t care, and I shouldn't stare, but I do
[Chorus]
D C
And if only I was somebody you wanted
Cm G
Just for the day, but you wanted
Am7
Someone you know that would leave
G
I know that'd never been me
[Verse 2]
Am7
Strange you don't know just how I think
G
'Cause I read your mind like it's written with ink
Am7 Gmaj7
Scribbles and mess, but lines that still play with my heart
[Chorus]
D C
And if only I was somebody who wanted
Cm G
Just for the day, but you wanted
Am7
Someone you know that wouldn't leave
G Gmaj7 G
I know it's not what you need
[Bridge]
Am7
I wrote your name seventeen times
G
Just to figure out when, figure out why
C
And it’s starting again, it’s strange, I don't know
D
Why you would stay if you knew you would go
Am7
And you called out to me, desperately weak
G
With something to say, if you only could speak
C
And I tried to pretend, I just can’t deny
Cm
That I'd lie just for you if you asked me to lie
[Out-Chorus]
Am7 C
If only I was somebody who wanted
D G
Just for the day, but you wanted
Am7
Someone you know that wouldn't leave
G Am G
I know that'd never be me
Am7 G
I know that’d never be me
I shouldn't look for someone like you
Who daydreams too much about wasting their youth
And I shouldn't care, and I shouldn't care, but I do
And I shouldn't stay up until 2 AM
Hopelessly wondering what I can mend
And I shouldn't care, and I shouldn't stare, but I do
And if only I was somebody you wanted
Just for the day, but you wanted
Someone you know that wouldn't leave
I know that's never been me
Strange how you don't know just how I think
'Cause I read your mind like it's written with ink
Scribbles and mess, but lines that still play with my heart
And if only I was somebody you wanted
Just for the day, but you wanted
Someone you know that wouldn't leave
I know it's not what you need
I wrote your name seventeen times
Just to figure out when, figure out why
And it's starting again, it's strange, I don't know
Why you would stay if you knew you would go
And you called out to me, desperately weak
With something to say, if you only could speak
And I tried to pretend, I just can't deny
That I'd lie just for you if you passed me tonight
If only I was somebody you wanted
Just for the day, but you wanted
Someone you know that wouldn't leave
I know that'd never be me
I know that'd never be me
