[Intro]
 
 F#   D#m     F#     B   F#
 
 
[Verse 1]
 F#
Both my parents knew you weren't the one
    D#m
And yeah, we tried our best to prove them wrong
      F#
But I think that they were right
                                          B      F#
We were two kids in this life just having fun
F#
Why'd it take ten months to see it clear?
D#m
If I'd saw it coming, I would have disappeared
         F#
I'm just thinking to myself, thought our path led somewhere else
                    B   F#
But now we're here
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        B
If it's perfect on paper
     C#
Then why do I feel like?
 
 
[Chorus]
F#
I love the idea of you more than I love you
           D#m                       Bm
And that's hard, so hard to hear
   C#
We checked off all the boxes
F#
But that's not what love is
           B                  C#
And that's hard, it's hard to hear
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
               F#   A#m    D#m
Even harder to say
F#m       G#m
harder to say
           B                    F#
So hard to say, it's so hard to say
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#
I know you're confused, I feel the same
D#m
You're still in the dark and I'm the blame
            C#
And I can't stand to see you cry
                                          B       C#
If you don't wanna say goodbye then look away
    F#
But someday you'll be in another's arms
    D#m
And you'll be happy that I broke your heart
       C#
Maybe then you might forgive me
                                   B        C#
For not taking you with me, it's a start
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        B
If it's perfect on paper
     C#
Then why do I feel like?
 
 
[Chorus]
F#
I love the idea of you more than I love you
           D#m                       Bm
And that's hard, so hard to hear
   C#
We checked off all the boxes
F#
But that's not what love is
           B                  C#
And that's hard, it's hard to hear
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
               F#   A#m    D#m
Even harder to say
F#m       G#m
harder to say
           B                    F#
So hard to say, it's so hard to say
              I wish my parents knew you weren't the one
And yeah, we tried our best to prove them wrong
But I think that they were right
We were two kids in this life just having fun
Why'd it take ten months to see it clear?
If I'd saw it coming, I would have disappeared
I'm just thinking to myself, thought somewhere else
But now we're here

If it's perfect on paper
Then why do I feel like?

All of the idea of you more than "I love you"
And that's hard, so hard to hear
We checked off all the boxes
But that's not what love is
And that's hard, it's hard to hear

Even harder to say, harder to say
So hard to say, it's so hard to say

I know you're confused, I feel the same
You're still in the dark and I'm the blame
And I can't stand to see you cry
If you don't wanna say goodbye then look away
But someday you'll be in another's arms
And you'll be happy that I broke your heart
Maybe then you might forgive me
For not taking you with me, it's a start

If it's perfect on paper
Then why do I feel like?

All of the idea of you more than "I love you"
And that's hard, so hard to hear
We checked off all the boxes
But that's not what love is
And that's hard, it's hard to hear

Even harder to say, harder to say
So hard to say, it's so hard to say
