                          C
Now I don't wanna be your enemy
                            F
But truly I ain't got the energy
                             Am
To wait for somebody who'll neverbe
          G               F
It never works, it never will
                           C
I need a cure for all this apathy
                              F
I'm spending way too long on Web MD
Not so sure it's good for me
Am                         G
But guess I feel a little nauseous
F
Think I should be cautious

         C
Because we go in circles
 F
Pick me up, let me down
 Am     G            F
Whatever works for you
C
We kept it lukewarm
F
Oh so vanilla
     Am           G       F
Ooh that's just what we do

Chorus:
               C                           F
And I could go on and on and on and on and on
         Am       G                         F
But the truth is, I have my best nights without you
                 C
So tell me I'm wrong to think we're
                 F
far from having fun
Tell me I'm wrong
           Am
You should know

here it goes
G                          F
I have my best nights without you

I'll make it easy for the both of us
Now everything's become so meaningless
We're perfectly comfortable in the worst way
(In the worst way)

From time to time, a spark ignites between us
Whenever works for you
So dull and lifeless
So— So vanilla
Ooh, that's just what we do

Chorus

And now it's like
C
We go steady, we just get by
F
We coast until we hit a red light
Am            G                         F
Truth is that I have my best nights without you
           C
Give me the same jokes
You messed up the punchline
F
A few notes so you do better next time
Am            G                         F
Here it goes, I have my best nights without you

Chorus:
And I could go on and on and on and on and on
But the truth is: I have my best nights without you
So tell me I'm wrong to think we're
far from having fun
Tell me I'm wrong
You should know, here it goes:
I have my best nights without you

And I could go on
(We go steady, we just get by)
(We coast until we hit a red light)
Tell me I'm wrong
(Truth is that I have my best nights without you)
And I could go on
(Give me the same jokes,
you messed up the punchline)
(A few notes so you do better next time)
Here it goes: I have my best nights without you
