     G                     Em           D
You said at the party that I was too drunk
   G                         Em           D
I told you I liked you, you said, "Sober up"
     Cmaj7
But why would I lie? It's so clear, I'm in love
      G  m D
With you
   G                       Em          D
A tense conversation, you like someone else
   G                         Em         D
I said, "If I waited, could that maybe help?"
    Cmaj7
You told me the patience won't
                         G Em D
change how you felt for me

        Cmaj7
So I'll stop being pretentious and loathing our friendship
     Em
You taught me a lesson, that love isn't precious
     G/B
It's not like the novels,
                          Am
no pride and prejudice at all

Chorus:
G                    Em     D
So I'll just take a footnote in your life
G                      Em  D     Cmaj7
And you could take my body every line
                                            G Em D
I would write for you, but a footnote will do
                 G Em D
A footnote will do

We ate at a restaurant, the host said we're cute
They think we're a couple, they bought us some booze
We shared the Moscato and laughed 'cause it's true
To me (Me)
Oh, and I'd be embarrassed if I weren't so pleased
That everyone else sees what you never see
We're perfect together but I'll never be the one

So I'll stop being pretentious, and loathing our friendship
You taught me a lesson, that feelings are reckless
It's just like the novels, side characters end up alone

Chorus:
So I'll just take a footnote in your life
And you could take my body
Every line I would write for you
But a footnote will do
A footnote will do
A footnote will do

Please, don't forget me
Forget me (A footnote will do)
Please, don't forget me
Forget me (A footnote will do)
Please, don't forget me
Forget me (A footnote will do)
Please, don't forget me
Forget me (A footnote will do)
A footnote will do
Forget (A footnote will do)
A footnote will do
