Am
I can't quite put my finger on you
You shapeshifter
G
I don't even know if you believe you
You minddrifter
   F#m                            B7
I should've known it wouldn't be you
You big quitter
       Em
What a way to go, you didn't need to
I'm still bitter

Who was I to think that I could be the one to change your mind
To mean more than some history, to have time on my side?
Who was I to think that I could stop the sun from setting on us
Said you wouldn't break your promise, Mr. Honest

Chorus:
                      Am
Don't know if I wanna get you back or get you back someday
                  G                                          F#m
Don't know if I'm even mad or just sad you couldn't stay, yeah
                  B7
Go figure, team switcher, it's a shame
           Em
Did I get fooled or are you a fool just like me?

Replace your guilt with philosophy, bright idea
I bet you forgot you said you need me, on tequila
Got the two of us, we're dancing in a dream, buzz killer
We were never two, my dear, we were three (Hmm)

And who was I to think that I could be the one to make your choice
To mean more than some history, to cut through all the noise?
Who were you to think that I would be fine being disrespected
I hope someday you regret it, yeah, I said it

Chorus

Em7 Am
Shape (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
       G
Shapeshifter (Uh-huh, uh-huh, shapeshifter
  F#m   B7
Shapeshifter
  Em
Shapeshifter (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

Chorus

Am    G
Ooh, ooh
F#m  B7 Em
Ooh, ooh
(Kaboom)
