 Em   
I'd've skipped that party
         G         (G G)
Yeah, I never would had gone
      Em       (Em Em)
If I could have seen the future

I would've just stayed home

            C
You'd be a name I didn't know
        Bm
In some idle conversation
        Am
With a laugh I never loved
     D
And lips I never tasted


CHORUS:
G
I don't wanna want you
Em
I don't wanna love you
Am
I don't wanna hate you
   D
Or even care enough to

G
We struck out as lovers
Em
We struck out as friends
   Am
Is it too much to ask
 D         D    C
Can we be strangers
