Dmaj9      Fdim
Irony is okay, I suppose
F#m            G9
Culture is to blame
    Dmaj9              Fdim       F#m              G9
You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way
          Dmaj9             Fdim          F#m                 G9
You lack substance when you say something like, "Oh, what a shame"
            Dmaj9            Fdim                F#m          G9
It's just a self-referential way that stops you having to be human
     Dmaj9           Fdim              F#m             G9
I'm assuming you'll balloon when you remove the dirty spoon
            Dmaj9           Fdim          F#m         G9
And start consuming like a human, that's what I am assuming

    Dmaj9                 C#m         F#m
I'm sure that you're not just another girl
    Dmaj9                  C#m             F#m
I'm sure that you're gonna say that I was sexist
   Dmaj9                   C#m             F#m      G
I feel like you're running out of all the things I liked you for

Chorus:
                 Dmaj9    Fdim       F#m
Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?
        G9        Dmaj9        Fdim        F#m
Because it always ends with us hating each other
            G9        Dmaj9              Fdim       F#m
Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in
G9    Dmaj9   Fdim      F#m     G9
I've just got one more thing to say

And why would you believe you could control how you're perceived
When at your best you're intermediately versed in your own feelings?
Keep on putting off conceiving
It's only you that you're deceiving
Oh, don't have a child, don't cramp your style, I'll leave it

Chorus:
Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?
Because it always ends with us hating each other
Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in
I've just got one more thing to say

I'm just pissed off because you pied me off
After your show when you let go of my hand
In front of some sket who wanted bit on your
Nah, I’m just messing
