                  Bm
Tell me what this is for you
        E                A
'Cause you only text me after 2
  F#m            Bm
I wanna just be done with you
        E                  A
But I call you back 'cause I'm a fool
       F#m              Bm
Come get me when your promises come true
        E              A               F#/A#
Until then I'll keep driving out to you

Chorus:
Bm
You say nothing all night
       E            A
A bad woman, don't lie
All night, all night
Bm
You give me nothing, act shy
            E               A
Tell your friends, I don't mind
All night, all night
             F#/A#
Then we get drunk and repeat

If I got a little higher,
every time our plans fell through
I could touch the moon
You try so hard to play this bullshit game
One night you even straight forgot my name

Chorus:
You say nothing all night
I'm back burning, don't lie
All night, all night
(Tell me what this is for you)
You give me nothing, act shy
Tell your friends, I don't mind
All night, all night
Then we get drunk and repeat

D
You only love me in the fade out
F#m
You only call me when no one's around
A
You only want me when the lights are down
D
You only love me in the fade out
You only love me in the fade out
F#m
You only call me when no one's around
C#m
You only want me when the lights are down
D
You only love me in the fade out

Chorus:
You say nothing all night
I'm back burning, don't lie
All night, all night
You give me nothing, act shy
Tell your friends, I don't mind
All night, all night
Then we get drunk and repeat

You only love me in the fade out
You only call me when no one's around
You only want me when the lights are down
You only love me in the fade out
You only love me in the fade out
You only call me when no one's around
You only want me when the lights are down
You only love me in the fade out

It's happened again, it's happened again,
it's happened again
I let you play me
I let you play me out
It's happened again, it's happened again,
it's happened again
I let you play me
I let you fade me out
It's happened again, it's happened again,
it's happened again
I let you play me
I let you play me out
