Capo: 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
G
I kinda got the warning when I saw my dad in your eyes
B
Uncomfortable without your handy dandy herbal disguise
C
And when I kiss you, I taste your blues
Cm
Why won’t you hold me? I’ll hold you too
G
I lived so long with someone so uncomfortable in their mind
B
They fed them-self a little poison every day to survive
C
And that’s not like you, at least I thought
Cm
That night I told you, I tried to talk but
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
It didn’t come out how I wanted
Am D
wish I could’ve just been honest
[Chorus]
C G
This is why I broke up with you
B
Do you realise you’re too high to care
C
And I’m saying this with nothing to lose
Cm
’cause I know that you’re not really there
G B
I only get you half of the time, your eyes are glossed over again
C
I only like you when you’re in your right mind
Cm
And babe that’s only now and then
G B C Cm
This is why I broke up with you… (you)…
[Verse 2]
G
And honestly it’s only weed, it isn’t even that bad
B
But every word is like an echo of a memory I had
C
Your empty promises, the stop and go
Cm
The way we played pretend was kind of gross
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am D
Ya know the truth is weighing heavy
Am D
Because I’ve been through this already
[Chorus]
C G B
This is why I broke up with you, Do you realise you’re too high to care
C
And I’m saying this with nothing to lose
Cm
’cause I know that you’re not really there
G B
I only get you half of the time, your eyes are glossed over again
C
I only like you when you’re in your right mind
Cm
And babe that’s only now and then
G B C Cm G B C Cm
This is why I broke up with you, you, you you, you, you, you, you
G B C Cm
This is why I broke up with you, you, you, you
G
This is why I broke up with you
I kinda got the warning when I saw my dad in your eyes
Uncomfortable without all you handy dandy herbal disguise
And when I kiss you, I taste your blues
Why won't you hold me? I'll hold you too
I lived so long with someone so uncomfortable in their mind
They fed themselves a little poison every day to survive
And that's not like you, at least I thought
That night I told you, I tried to talk but
[Pre-Chorus]
It didn't come out how I wanted (It didn't come out how I wanted)
I wish I could've just been honest
[Chorus]
This is why I broke up with you
Do you realize you're too high to care?
And I'm saying this with nothing to lose
Cause I know that you're not really there
I only get you half of the time
Your eyes are glossed over again
I only like you when you're in your right mind
And babe that's only now and then
This is why I broke up with you, you, you
You, you, you
[Bridge]
And honestly it's only weed it isn't even that bad
But every word is like an echo of a memory I had
Your empty promises, the stop and go
The way we played pretend was kind of gross
[Pre-Chorus]
You know the truth is weighing heavy
(You know the truth is weighing heavy)
Because I've been through this already
[Chorus]
This is why I broke up with you
Do you realize you're too high to care?
And I'm saying this with nothing to lose
Cause I know that you're not really there
I only get you half of the time
Your eyes are glossed over again
I only like you when you're in your right mind
And babe that's only now and then
This is why I broke up with you, you, you
You, you, you
You, you, you
You, you, you
[Outro]
This is why I broke up with you, you, you
You, you, you
This is why I broke up with you
