G Bm F#m B7 Em G C Bm Am G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Whoever said
C G C G
That words can't hurt you must have never had
C Bm
A dictionary dropped down on their head
Am
From a distance
F
The last I checked
Am D
That'd knock you dead
G C G
And I'm impressed
C G C G
'Cause based on the available context
C Bm
Well, I don't think you were speaking in jest
Am
I think you meant it
F
Because you signed it
D C#
And then you sent it
[Chorus]
D
You coulda told me to get lost
G F Am
It wouldn't've hurt me so bad
C D
You coulda told me to fuck off
G F Am
I woulda prob'ly just laughed
C D
But for all the days we spent together
Em A
And all the ways you could end a letter
C
I woulda thought you'd pick something better
Cm
But instead, you chose
G
"Best"
[Verse 2]
G C G
Well, I confess
C G C G
If this was just some ruthless kind of test
C Bm
To see if I'd get uselessly obsessed
Am
Well, then you nailed it
F
'Cause you passed it
D C# C
And I failed it
[Chorus]
D
You coulda told me to get lost
G F Am
It wouldn't've hurt me so bad
C D
You coulda told me to fuck off
G F Am
I woulda prob'ly just laughed
C D
But for all the days we spent together
Em A
And all the ways you could end a letter
C
I woulda thought you'd pick something better
Cm
But instead, you chose
G
"Best"
[Post-Chorus]
F#m B7 Em
Oh, oh yes
Dm7 G7 C
I'd have never guessed
G
Baby, you chose "Best"
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 Em7 D# D G
Peace, love, sincerely, warmest regards, cheers, yours truly, XO
C B7 Em/D A C
Talk soon, later, thanks for reading, with all due respect
Cm
Let me be direct
[Verse 3]
G C G
Did you forget
C G C G
How many times the two of us had sex?
C Bm
Though I would call it love making instead
Am
At least a thousand
F
The last I checked
D C# C
But who's counting?
[Chorus]
D
You coulda told me to get lost
G F Am
It wouldn't've hurt me so bad
C D
You coulda told me to fuck off
G F Am
I woulda prob'ly just laughed
C D
But for all the days we spent together
Em A
And all the ways you could end a letter
C
I woulda thought you'd pick something better
Cm
But instead, you chose
G
"Best"
[Outro]
F#m B7 Em
Oh, oh yes
Dm7 G7 C
I'd have never guessed
G
Baby, you chose "Best"
F#m B7 Em
Oh, oh yes
Dm7 G7 C
I'd have never guessed
G
Baby, you chose "Best"
F#m B7 Em
Oh, woah oh
Dm7 G7 C
All of the things you could have said
G
Baby, you chose "Best"
