Penelope Scott - Gross: chords

18+
Em
It was so easy with you
C
So salty and gross
Am                     B7
Made me feel clean by comparison
Em
It was the tongue in my mouth
C
And the fire in my house
Am                 B7
It made me look so innocent

G                    Em
I'm never gonna feel good again
       C          D7           G         Em
I've played this game all the way to the end
Am            B7            G        Em
Look at this stupid little song for you
        Am             D7         G
You're pretty good at this game, too

Chorus:
Em              B7
I wish I didn't miss you
           C           Em
Or that I liked you at all
                 B7              D7
I wish I had the guts to fuck my own life up
  Em
I wish I had your set of balls
                    D7
But I'm a chemical compound
                       G
I'm just the ring you take off
                         D7
I'm just the next little girl you fake it with
                       G
Before you go make it work with
the one that you love

I drink my dumb little drinks
Act like you care what I think
Or like I really wanna get to know you
Give everybody a chance
Put on my makeup and dance
Say things like, "I'll do anything for you."
Don't I look good in this dress?
In this well manicured mess
I look phenomenal, but only to you, oh
It's even worse than you think
I'm watching everything
And I'll die before I'll tell you the truth

I'm never gonna feel good again
I've played this game through the end
One more stupid little song for you
You're better than you thought at this, too

Chorus:
I wish I'd never met you
Or that I wanted you still
I wish I had the guts to fuck my own life up
I wish you'd just come over and kill me
But I'm a chemical compound
I'm just the ring you take off
I'm just the next little girl you fake it with
Before you go make it work with
the one that you love

And I don't even resent that
Do you get that I don't even object
I don't mind what you meant
But then how dare you express
Whatever brand of respect this is
When I made sure that we both know I'm a mess

Em
I hate it most when they're kind
B7
When they have meaningful lives
Am                    B7
And I'm the awful one standing next to them
Em
It was an earnest suggestion,
B7
A real connection
Am               B7
Every part of me poses a threat to them
Em
And if you're mean then they'll laugh
C
Like they don't understand
Am                        B7
If you got it, you would fucking go home, well
Em
Say that you want me still
Am
Say I'm just mentally ill
                           B7
Or I'm just a bitch, but, you'll never know

Am        D7          G     Em
I'm never gonna feel good again
      Am          D7   G             Em
I've played this game through to the end
Am             D7           G       Em
I'll pull the plug or I'll wait it out
       Am         D7    G
But I don't need you around

Chorus:
Em             B7
I wish I never met you
                  Em
I wish I wasn't a waste
                  B7             D7
I wish I had the guts to fuck my own life up
       Em
Or the heart to set myself straight
                    D7
But I'm a chemical compound
                          Em
You're just the gun in my mouth
                  B7
If you stopped romanticizing who
                        G
I am at parties, you'd find your way out

                   Em
I wish I weren't a liar
                        G
I wish that I could be kind
                    Em
I wish that I could trust you
                           G
That things would turn out fine

                   D7
But I'm a chemical compound
                         G
I'm just a flash in your pan
       D7                        B7
And if you don't wanna play just say so
           G
And you'll never ever see me again
