Chorus:
C
Drink all night, never sleep
Am
You say, "Go," I won't leave
G
I love you, you love me
        F
But not in the same way
C
Rip my heart out and leave
Am
On the floor, watch me bleed
G
I love you, you love me
     F
But not in the same way

C
Not today
   Am                        G
Mascara's runnin' down your face again
F                     C
I can feel it comin' down on me
Am                G                        F
Hurricane is her name, we're good at this game, game

C                                            Am
We fuck and we fight, then you call me a psycho
   G                                           F
I walk out the door, but you won't let me let go
 C                                         Am
Tumblin' around, throwin' rocks at your window
    G                       F
But I can't forget you, and I always let you

Chorus - x2

Not today
I'm wakin' up to my mistakes again
I know you love to point them out
Baby, I'm sick of sadness and you're sick of Xanax
We're good at this game, game

We fuck, and we fight, then you call me a psycho
I walk out the door, but you won't let me let go
Turn right around, throwin' rocks at your window
But I can't forget you, and I'll always let you

Chorus

Way
But not in the same way
Way
But not in the same way

C  Am G
Way
F
But not in the same way
C  Am G
Way
F
But not in the same way

C
I never wanna lie to you
Am
But I can't say no to you
G
I know you think I'm bulletproof
F
But you know how to hurt me too
C
In the dark, we're black and white
Am
In the morning, colourblind
G
Leave your mark with every bite
F
Then everything's alright
                     C
When you tell me you love me
               Am
Then you wanna leave me
              G
Pouring your pills down the sink
             F
Sayin' it's not what you think
                 C
Don't know if I love you
                Am
Don't know if I hate you
G                           F
But I can't forget you, and I'll always let you

Chorus - x2

Way
But not in the same way
Way
But not in the same way
