Skip That Party

Jensen McRae


Tom: D

D
 Why'd I think that you would let me in?
A/C#
   Why does wanting you feel like this?
C                                       G/B
 Talk so much but I never get a word in edgewise
D
 I made you come in so you couldn't stay
A/C#
    How'd we end up in this damn cliché?
C                                                    G/B
 You thought I loved you, all I asked is if you were doing fine


[Pre-Chorus: Jensen McRae]
          Bm
Everybody went home darlin'
                 D
Haven't you been getting lonely?
              G               C
Why's it even matter to me?


[Verse 2: Sam Harris & Jensen McRae]
D
 I didn't mean it when I came too clean
A/C#
    I didn't mean it when I said those things
C                                                    G/B
 Well I talk so much that I forget to filter out the rages
D
 I don't know why I ever made those plans
A/C#
    It's not like you were even half the man
C                                                 G/B
 You thought I loved you, all I asked is if you'd hear me out


[Pre-Chorus: Sam Harris & Jensen McRae]
            Bm
Everybody's locked up darlin'
               D
Don't you ever wonder 'bout us?
              G                   C
Why's it even matter to me now?


[Chorus: Jensen McRae]
Bm
  If I could go back and unmeet your friend
G
 The one that told us to "Make nice, shake hands"
D                                             A
 If I could drink a little less red wine that night
Bm
  I would tell myself to skip that party
G
 I would do it in a fucking heartbeat
D                                             A
 If I could write you out the narrative of my brief life


[Post-Chorus: Jensen McRae]
          Bm
Everybody gets hurt darlin'
                   A
Don't you know you can't avoid it?
              G                C
Why's it even matter to you?


[Verse 3: Jensen McRae & Sam Harris]
D
 Why'd I leave a space for you and me?
A/C#
    Why's this wanting leave me so empty?
C                                                  G/B
 I think so much but don't remember anything worth thinkin' 'bout
D
 I know we had a decent run right through
A/C#
    I know I learned an awful lot from you
C                                         G/B
 You never loved me, and I never could've saved you


[Pre-Chorus: Sam Harris & Jensen McRae]
            Bm
Everybody's trying darlin'
                   A
Don't you know you can try harder?
                   G                   C
But what's it even matter to me now?


[Chorus: Jensen McRae]
Bm
  If I could go back and do it all again
G
 Rewrite the story of two childhood friends
D                                           A
 And never gave you back your keys that fateful night
Bm
  I would have said that we should skip that party
G
 Make you sleep it off and call me in the morning
D                                      A
 And I could make myself a hero in the end


[Post-Chorus: Jensen McRae]
               Bm
Yeah everybody gets hurt darlin'
                   G
Don't you know you can't avoid it?
               D               A
What's it even matter to you?
               Bm
Yeah everybody gets hurt darlin'
               A
What's it even matter to you?
             G               C
I don't even matter to you
