[Verse]
F#m      C#             F#  B
I always was the one to leave
G#m        C#
I had no rehearsal
B               C#
For this role reversal


[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m      A       B      D
Say nice things about Detroit
F#m         A               B       D
The way you left you were a big big jerk
G#      A     B   D
There I was anticipating
A
Some kind of love
C#
I'm still waiting


[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#m          A   B         D
It's like it was just last week
F#m      A    B      D
I tell myself but it wasn't
G#       A      B      D
Dressing up and making plans
A             C#
I'm so bad at staying friends


[Chorus]
B
Say something nice
A
Say it again
B
Say something nice
D       C#
Say it again


[Verse]
F#m       C#           F#m    B
I'd never known a libertine
G#m               C#
But you sure were thirsty
G#m              C#
Then it gets all murky


[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m      A       B      D
Say nice things about Detroit
F#m      A        B      D
Remember standing in the doorway
G#m     A         B       D
Private words and holding hands
A                 C#
Can't you pretend to pretend?


[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#m      A       B      D
Say nice things about Detroit
F#m         A               B       D
The way you left you were a big big jerk
G#      A     B   D
There I was anticipating
A
Some kind of love
C#
I'm still waiting


[Chorus]
B
Say something nice
A
Say it again
B
Say something nice
D       C#    F#m
Say it again
