There you [G]were [Bm]you’re gonna make a [Em]scene
[C]comparing yourself to the [Bm]person you were at age [Em]1[C]7
I put my [G]suit on [Bm]and I tied my [Em]tie
[C]I look like [G]someone I don't [Bm]recog[Em]nize [C]
And it would be [G]so much [Bm]easier to [Em]love you
If [C]you could only [G]see your[Bm]self like [Em]me [C]
And wouldn't it [G]hurt much [Bm]less when you were [Em]lonely
If [Cm]you could only [G]see your[Bm]self [Em]like [C]me?
I found a [G]letter: “[Bm]Dear future [Em]me,

If [C]you could only [G]see your[Bm]self like [Em]me [C]
And wouldn't it [G]hurt much [Bm]less when you were [Em]lonely
If [Cm]you could only [G]see your[Bm]self [Em]like [C]me?
[Bm]Please be [Em]disap[C]pointed in [G]me
Isn’t it [Em]obvious I [C]wasn't who you [Cm]think? And it would be ..
[G]So much [Bm]easier to [Em]love you
