  E     A7M                        C#m
Friend, I've done something stupid again
     A7M                          E
It's not that I don't love you, I do
     A7M                          C#m
It's just I made this black hole so blue
     A7M
I've done something stupid again

              E              G#m
And now it's little lies and alibis
         C#m                 A
And the second phone. Can't make it home
      B                E
I'm working late. You know I hate
   C#m                A
To miss the kids' bedtime again
    E                G#m
I drank too much, a working lunch
      C#m              A
I'll crash in town so don't wait up
   B                  E
If I don't text, my phone's just dead
    C#m                   A
I've got that thing, I'm sure I said?
        B
And I know that you know and we both just play along
     (pausa)                           E
Just one more stupid thing that I have... done
 
( E  A7M  C#m  A7M )
 
     E         A7M                     C#m
It starts, got money in your pocket at last
A7M                                 E
Makes you think you're more than you are
       A7M                         C#m
You're just another sucker for the dream
   A7M
No more or less than you have ever been

              E              G#m
But now it's little lies and alibis
         C#m                 A
And the second phone. Can't make it home
      B                E

    C#m                   A
I've got that thing, I'm sure I said?
         B
And you look like a joke and we both just play along
      A                                E
Just one more stupid thing that I have... done
 
A7M        C#m
     (It's not that I don't love you)
    A7M                                    E
Just one more stupid thing that I have... (Little lies)
     A7M
and the second phone (I drank too much)
C#m                        B
I've done something stupid
               
And now it's little lies and alibis

    C#m                   A
I've got that thing, I'm sure I said?
         B
And you feel like a fool and we both just play along
         B
And you feel like a fool and we both just play along

And you feel like a fool and we both just play along
      B
