B
London 2020
                     E
Boy and a girl broke up, yeah, it's two a penny
                        G#m
And I been tryna make a big step forward
F#
Saw you, it was awkward
E
Nothing like I thought would happen happened
B
I was so in love, and that don't come off in
     E
the wash
Kinda hope it does, though
                             G#m
'Cause you're seeing someone pretty and
I hate her guts
F#                            E
So I'll be telling you she's nice on the bus home

Chorus:
        B
We were bad but we're gonna be good
           E
It didn't work like I thought it would
         G#m
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
           E
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
        B
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
          E
And you swore you would do better this time
                 G#m                    F#
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken
               E
and petty and lying
                        B
But at least I'm trying
B
(At least I'm trying)
At least I'm trying

Three shots, lemon drops
One for being lost and alone in your early twenties
One for being obsessed with someone who puts
you secondary
One for calling guys with guitars in a cemetery
Just me? Okay
If I'm being frank, I want a "sorry"
but I'll settle for a handshake
'Cause I'm the baby but I'm gonna be
 the bigger man, babe
So many blank slates I could build
a whole fucking house

Chorus:
We were bad but we're gonna be good
It didn't work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well, I might be bitter and twisted and broken
and petty and lying
But at least I'm trying
At least I'm trying

       B
Not friends
No, we're somewhere in between
              E
'Cause you're awful and I miss you and
                              B
I killed you in my dream las  t night
Even then you didn't care
        E
It's a low when even in my dreams you
still don't want me there
      B
Got friends, got at least a healthy five
            E
Yeah, some people think I'm funny, baby,
don't look so surprised
(Some people think I'm funny!)
      B
We think that your girlfriend is a bore
           E
But we're nice to her in public
cause we're grown up and mature
      B
Not friends
                                              E
'Cause when I asked you on the train why you hurt
me and you couldn't really actually explain
    B
I cried, then I told you it was cool
          E
God, you haven't changed at all!

Chorus:
We were bad but we're gonna be good
It didn't work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well, I might be bitter and twisted and broken
and petty and lying

And you might be awful like all of the time,
yeah, it's almost inspiring
But at least I'm trying
At least I'm trying
At least I'm trying
