The Tortured Poets Department x Now That We Don’t Talk

[C]You left your typewriter at my apartment

[F]Straight from the tortured poets department

[C]I think some things I never say

[F]Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?"

[Am]But you're in self-sabotage mode

[G]Throwing spikes down on the road

[C]But I've seen this episode and [G]still loved the show

[Am]Who else decodes [G]you?

 

[C]And who's gonna [G]hold you [Am]like me?[F]

[C]And who's gonna [G]know you, if [Am]not me?

I [F]laughed in your face and said

[C]"You're not Dylan Thomas, [G]I'm not Patti Smith

[Am]This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, [F]we'rе modern idiots"

And[C] who's gonna [G]hold you [Am]like me?[F]

 

[C]Nobody[G]

[Am]No-fucking-body[F]

[C]Nobody

 

[C]You smokеd, then ate seven bars of chocolate

[F]We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist

[C]I scratch your head,[G] you fall asleep

[Am]Like a tattooed [F]golden retriever

[Am]But you awaken with dread

[G]Pounding nails in your head

[C]But I've read this one [G]where you come undone

[Am]I chose this [G]cyclone with you

 

[C]And who's gonna [G]hold you [Am]like me?[F]

 

[C]And who's gonna [G]know you [Am]like me?

([F]Who's gonna know you?)

 

[C]"You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm [G]not Patti Smith

[Am]This ain't the Chelsea Hotel,[F] we're modern idiots"

[C]And who's gonna [G]hold you [Am]like me?[F]

 

[C]No-fucking-body

[G](Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna hold you?)

[Am]Nobody

[F](Who's gonna hold you? Gonna know you? Gonna troll you?)

[C]Nobody

 

[C]Sometimes, I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me

[F]But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave

[C]And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen

[F]Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be

[Am]'Cause we're [G]crazy

[C]So tell me, who else is gonna [G]know me?

At [Am]dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger

And put it on the one [F]people put wedding rings on

And that's the [C]closest I've come to [G]my heart exploding [G]

 

[C]What do you [G]tell your friends we

[Am]Shared dinners,[F] long weekends with

[C]Truth is I [G]can't pretend it's

[Am]Platonic, it's [F]just ended

So [C]I call my mom, she said that it [G]was for the best

Remind[Am] myself the more [F]I gave, you’d want me less

I [C]cannot be your friend

[G]So I pay the price of what I [Am]lost (of what I lost)

[F]And what it cost

Now that we don't [C]talk

[G]Now that we don’t talk

 

[C]Who’s gonna [G]hold you [Am]like me

[F]Now that we don’t talk

[C]Who’s gonna [G]know you [Am]not me

[F]Now that we don’t talk

[C]"You're not Dylan Thomas, [G]I'm not Patti Smith

[Am]This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, [F]we'rе modern idiots"

[C]And who's gonna[G] hold you [Am]not me

[F]Now that we don’t [C]talk

[G]Now that we don’t [Am]talk

[F]Now that we don’t [C]talk

 

[C]I don't have to pretend I like acid rock

[G]Or that I'd like to be on a mega yacht

[Am]With important men who think important thoughts

[F]Guess maybe I am better off

 

[C]And the only way back to my dignity

[G]Was to turn into a shrouded mystery

[Am]Just like I had been when you were chasing me

[F]Guess this is how it has to be

Now that we don't [C]talk
