B
Hold my head a little higher
E
Can't you tell I love a liar?
C#m                         A
I know what I look like to you
B
I would say it's excessive
E
Or maybe damn impressive
C#m                A
I'll admit I'm confused

B
I've gotta remember
A
That I'm just a toy
E7
'Til you got my hopes u
And now I'm annoyed
B
You thought you could charm me
A
And, damn it, you're right
E7
So watch me fall for every damn stereotype

Chorus:
Bm              G
You can't help it
                  D                 F#
This is just how we were taught to love
     Bm                 G
Oh, there's a name for boys like you
     D
And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines
   F#
I hate that they shake me up every time

Mmm-mmm-mmm
Hold my hand for just a second
See you soon, what do we reckon?
Maybe I'm not just a friend
But we're so close, I thought we'd kiss
Turns out you're just good at this
But how 'bout you do it again?

Oh no, I gotta remember
That I'm just a toy
'Though you got my hopes up
And now I'm annoyed
You thought you could charm me
And, damn it, you're right
So watch me fall for every damn stereotype

Chorus:
You can't help it
This is just how we were taught to love
Oh, there's a name for boys like you
And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines
I hate that they shake me up every time
Guess I'll take it
This is just how we were taught to love
Oh, there's a name for boys like you
And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines
I hate that they shake me up every time

Bm
They tell me, "Don't go there
G
We know you love a nightmare
D
There's more than a crush here

Why aim to be crushed here?"
