E          C#m              G#m
You don't make any sense to me (Ha)
        E             C#m             G#m
'Cause you choose to focus on shiny things (Ha)

E                     C#m
I kept tryin' for the two of us
         G#m
But you left it dry, came to ruin us

Chorus:
 E            C#m              G#m
You choose to focus on shiny things

My head's been spinnin' on since the fall (Ha)
Convinced myself I didn't just lose it all (Ha)

But I kept fightin' for the two of us
You dropped that ball, now it ruined us

Chorus:
Well, you choose to focus on shiny things

 A                C#m
I've been thinkin' for a while
              E
What am I to you?
                    B
Yeah, what am I to you?
  A
I've been hurtin'
   C#m
Did I deserve this?
                 E
I don't think I do
                     B
No, I don't think I do
