Verse:
C              E7 
I donʼt wanna share the space
C              E7 
I donʼt wanna force a smile
C                       E7 
This one girl taps my insecurities
C                                 E7 
Donʼt know if itʼs real or if Iʼm spiraling
C                  E7 
One voice tells me that they laugh
C                     E7 
George says Iʼm just paranoid
C                               E7 
Says he just donʼt see it, heʼs so naive
C                                        E7 
Iʼm embarassed to have it, but need the sympathy

Chorus:
      C               Em           D
Cause I couldnʼt even be her if I tried
                  G             C
Iʼm opposite, Iʼm on the other side
                   Em                D
I feel all these feelings I canʼt control
       G            C
Oh no, donʼt know why
              Em             D
All this sympathy is just a knife
                   G                C
Why I canʼt even grit my teeth and lie?
                    Em                D
I feel all these feelings I canʼt control
              G
Oh no, donʼt know

Verse:
C           E7 
Why I wanna buy a gun?
C           E7 
Why I wanna shoot myself?
C                        E7 
Volatilе at war with my dialogue
C                                E7 
Iʼd say that there was a God if thеy could stop this
C                  E7 
Wild voice tearing me apart
C               E7 
Iʼm so apprehensive now
C                                    E7 
Donʼt wanna see her backstage at my boyfriendʼs show
C 
Fingers crossed behind my back
             E7 
I hope they break up quick

Chorus:
      C               Em           D
Cause I couldnʼt even be her if I tried
                  G             C
Iʼm opposite, Iʼm on the other side
                   Em                D
I feel all these feelings I canʼt control
       G           C
Oh no, donʼt know why
              Em             D
All this sympathy is just a knife
                   G                C
Why I canʼt even grit my teeth and lie?
                    Em                D
I feel all these feelings I canʼt control (Oh no)

Outro:
              G             C
All this sympathy is just a knife
               Em             D
All this sympathy is just a knife
               G              C
All this sympathy is just a knife
                   Em               D
Yeah, all this sympathy is just a knife
          G
Oh no, oh no
C                    Em             D
Why is all this sympathy a fucking knife?
                     G             C
Yeah, all this sympathy is just a knife
              Em           D
Couldnʼt even be her if I tried
N.C.
Oh no, oh no
