I heard you had a lot of therapy
               F#
When you were seventeen
         C#
For your anger issues
D#m                  B
If I had a pound for every hole

I saw punched in a wall
          C#
I'd be a rich girl yeah
D#m                               B
In love is something that you'll never be
             F#             C#
It got progressively harder to miss you
 D#m            B                F# A#m
And you should take this personally

         B
You're a serial cheater
'You up?' text repeater
        C#
When I told you you were funny I lied
           B
You're a 'love 'em and leave 'em' with
a terrible reason
      C#                        Ddim7

Chorus:
 D#m               B               F#
Boy you think I'm dumb, tryna pull one on me
                     C#

You said I'd meet your friends eventually
When you're ready to be
A little more exclusive
If I was the last girl on earth
You'd still be weighing up your options
Mmm
You said you got a lot of enemies
And you claim your dreams are always lucid
But you're just high and can't tell the difference

She tries to get closer
So you go and ghost her
Like it's perpetual Halloween
You're obsessed with your father
Red flag and a half, yeah
Babe, we could unpack it for weeks

Chorus

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I can do better than
I can do better than this
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

              B
You're kinda sociopathic
I nearly buried the hatchet
         C#
Then I remembered how you messed with my head
   B
I could be a grown-up
But, baby, you know what
C#                    Ddim7
Maybe I release this song instead

Chorus:
Boy, you think I'm dumb
Tryna pull one on me like I've never been kissed
You had a couple of exes and
I know that they let you get away with it
But you're a...
Boy (Hmm-hmm-hmm)
And I can tell that you've never been hugged, boy
(Boy)
And I can do better than this
Oh, better than this

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I can do better than
I can do better than this
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I can do better than
I can do better than this

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Better than who?
Better than you
Better than this
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Better than who?
Better than you
Better than this
Boy
