               G          Em                Bm
When I look at old stuff, lookin' like it's over
C                G              Em       Bm
Lookin' like I'm never going to be that again
            G         Em                  Bm
Crying over old loves even though they're over

Never gonna stay friends, yeah, stay friends

Can't look how we made it, say "Congratulations"
Lookin' like I’ll never be lonely again
See me in the mirror, nothin' ever changes
Never see the sunset, only in my head

     I put on a smile, don't need a face-lift
G D G                 D     C    D    G
     Why can't I when everybody fakes it?

G
Well, they think I'm happy
Bm               C            G
Like they know exactly how I feel
          D
It ain't real, but they still think

Never gonna stop (I try), never gonna calm down
Never gonna stop
They think I'm happy when I'm
Never gonna stop, never gonna calm down
Never gonna stop, no
They think I'm happy when I'm
