Small Talk

[Intro]
Am  C  G  D
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am      C         G
I don’t mind listening
           D            Am
Good conversation is my thing,
            C              G        D
But I won’t talk about the weather, no.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am      C
I’m not rude,
         G
Nor am I shy,
           D             Am
But honey, I’m not gonna lie,
                 C              G    D
That’s what most people seem to think.
 
 
[Chorus]
Am               C     G
I don’t get your jokes,
          D
You might have to repeat,
Am                  C      G
Everything you just told me,
         D             Am
‘Cause I didn’t pay no mind,
      C      G
And I know I,
D               Am
Probably should try,
C                       G G  G
Small talk makes me,
N.C
Small talk makes me,
Am
Cry-eye,
C        G
Cry-eye, eye, eye
D
Small talk makes me,
Am
Cry-eye,
C             G
Cry-eye, eye, eye, ye,
D
Small talk makes me.
        Am
Shallow words,
     C
Fake smile,
            G
Giggles and pretty lies,
D                   Am
Small talk makes me cry.
    C                   G  D6
Oh, small talk makes me cry.
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am    C
Every day,
             G
Hey, how are you?
         D                 Am
Oh, that question makes me blue,
              C           G       D
‘Cause no one ever really answers it,
                         G
Awkward silences aren’t real,
              D                    Am
It’s just something that your mind makes up,
            C           G  D
When you’re feeling insecure.
 
 
[Chorus]
Am               C     G
I don’t get your jokes,
          D
You might have to repeat,
Am                  C      G
Everything you just told me,
N.C
Small talk makes me,
Am
Cry-eye,
C        G
Cry-eye, eye,
D
Small talk makes me,
Am
Cry-eye,
C             G
Cry-eye, eye, eye
D
Small talk makes me,
        Am
Shallow words,
     C
Fake smile,
            G
Giggles and pretty lies,
D                   Am
Small talk makes me cry.
    C                   G  D6
Oh, small talk makes me cry.
 
 
[Verse 4]
Am      C          D
It just don’t feel right,
     D              Am
Even if we talk all night,
           C              G
There’d be so much left unsaid,
 D              Am
(So much left unsaid),
Am      C            G
Tell me how much you feel,
          D                 Am
Something honest, something real,
          C
Break the surface,
        G D
Of your mind.
 
 
[Outro]
            Am
(Small talk makes me),
Am
Cry-eye,
C        G
Cry-eye, eye,
N.C.
(Small talk makes me),
Am
Cry-eye,
C             G
Cry-eye, eye, eye,
 D
(Small talk makes me),
        Am
Shallow words,
     C
Fake smile,
            G
Giggles and pretty lies,
D                   Am
Small talk makes me cry.
    C                   G  D6
Oh, small talk makes me cry.
