G#        A#m
Guns drawn, slow down
It's a battle over something stupid
B               A#m
They're all the rage right now
G#        A#
You don't know the truth
       A#m
It's a battle that I think I'm winning
B                  A#m                    G# A#
Something makes me think you think that too

      A#m
I was trying to be honest
B                   A#m
You don't make that easy to do

Chorus:
C#               G#/C
It's not that important
                      A#m
It's none of your concern
But you got angry
          G#/C
And said some angry words
C#               G#/C
It's not that I hate you
                A#
I hate that it hurt
                        A#m
There's nothing else to it
           G#/C      C#
I can't do anything more, mm

Sharp knife, loaded gun
There are two ways we can do this
I know which would be more fun
I won't go first, won't apologize
Pretty sure that it's an ego thing
But I can't stand a compromise

I was trying to be honest
But now I think I should've just lied

Chorus:
It's not that important
It's none of your concern
But you got angry
And said some angry words
It's not that I hate you
I hate that it hurt
There's nothing else to it
I can't do anything more, mm

Ooh-oh, I was trying to be honest
If this is what I get, I won't be honest anymore
Oh, if this is what I get
I swear I won't be honest anymore
