Chorus:
D                       D+
I hope you think of me high
Bm                      Adim
I hope you think of me highly
G                Gm      D
When you're with someone else
D                        D+
I know your friends all lie
Bm                         Adim
I know your friends don't like me
G              Gm      D
They want you for themselves

   D                D+                 Bm
Today, I called to tell you that I'm changing
    Adim               G             Gm               D
But I don't think you have enough respect to see me try
D                D+               Bm
I've been waking up in different spaces
   Adim              G                 Gm               D
And I think that my heart is built to last more than a night

   D                       Bm          A           G
I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down
                           Em          D/F#        G
I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down

Chorus

I know I'll never meet your expectations (Ah, ah)
But the picture that you paint of me looks better in your mind
Now every step I take with hesitation (Ah, ah)
And I'll always miss the memories of the mornings we were high

I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down
I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down

Chorus

Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, ooh
When you're with someone else
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, ooh
They want you for themselves

I hope you think of me high
I hope you think of me highly
When you're with someone else
