C F Am G
 
[Verse 1]
C           F           Am     G
I washed my hands of us at the club
C           F         Am      G
You made a mess of me
C           F             Am       G
I pictured you with other girls in love
C             F           Am       G
Then threw up on the street
C                  F       Am       G
Like waiting for a bus that never shows
C                  F       Am       G
You just start walkin' on
C              F         Am        G
They say that if it's right, you know
C     F
Each bar plays our song
Am            G
Nothing has ever felt so wrong
 
[Chorus]
C
Oh, my, love is a lie
F
sh*t my friends say to get me by
C
It hits different
F
It hits different this time
Am
Catastrophic blues
G                             F
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
F
It hits different
G                  C
It hits different 'cause it's you
 
[Verse 2]
C          F               Am              G
I used to switch out these Kens, I'd just ghost
C          F               Am              G
Rip the band-aid off and skip town likе an a**hole outlaw
C          F              Am          G
Freedom felt like summеr then on the coast
C                     F             Am            G
Now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings
C                 F                      Am          G
And I never don't cry (And I never don't cry) at the bar
C          F               Am                       G
Yeah, my sadness is contagious (My sadness is contagious)
C          F                 Am            G
I slur your name 'til someone puts me in a car
C          F                 Am            G
I stopped receiving invitations
 
[Chorus]
C
Oh, my, love is a lie
F
sh*t my friends say to get me by
C
It hits different
F
It hits different this time
Am
Catastrophic blues
G                             F
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
F
It hits different
G                  C
It hits different 'cause it's you
 
 
[Bridge]
C            F                     Am
I find the artifacts, cried over a hat
            G
Cursed the space that I needed
C            F                     Am
I trace the evidence, make it make some sense
          G
Why the wound is still bleedin'
C                       F
You were the one that I loved
      Am                           G
Don't need another metaphor, it's simple enough
    C          F               Am
A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes
                    G
This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy
C    F           Am            G                       C       F
Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief
        Am           F                             C     F
In the good in the world, you once believed in me
       Am             G
And I felt you and I held you for a while
C                  F
Bet I could still melt your world
  Am             G                 C  F
Argumentative, antithetical dream girl
 
Am G
 
[Verse 3]
C             F                    Am        G
I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway
C             F          Am
Is that your key in the door?
G
Is it okay?
       C    F
Is it you?
     Am       G                 C    F
Or have they come to take me away?
Am    G      C   F
To take me awaaaaaaaaay
 
[Chorus (modified)]
Am                     G
sh*t my friends say to get me by
C
It hits different
F
It hits different this time
Am
Catastrophic blues
G                             F
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
F
It hits different
G                  C
It hits different 'cause it's you
 
[Chorus/outtro]
C
Oh, my, love is a lie
F
sh*t my friends say to get me by
C
It hits different
F
It hits different this time
Am
Catastrophic blues
G                             F
