                        E      A
I probably shouldn't write this
Nobody looks like this
                         F#m      C#m
Trying to get right the brightness
Hope somebody likes this
                   E          A
Somebody gets the right fit
Somebody gets the night shift
                       F#m      C#m
Messin' 'round to have five kids
One of them will be the nicest

                      E
I'm so tired of this weather,
feel it down in my bones
       B           A
Even when we're together,
we just stare at our phones
             B         C#m
Can we just watch the sunset,
and forget how we compare?
                     A
I wish that I could say that

Chorus:
                E     A
I don't really care, yeah-yeah,
yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
F#m C#m
    Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
                E     A
I don't really care, yeah-yeah,
yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
F#m C#m
    Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Man why you write a sonnet?
Just trying to get a comment
You 'ain't nobody's prophet
That's soundin' like a prophet
Don't worry 'bout the angles
Man it could be angels
That clip could be dangerous
Where everybody's famous

I'm so tired of this weather,
feel it down in my bones
Even when we're together,
we just stare at our phones
Can we just watch the sunset,
and forget how we compare?
I wish that I could say that

Chorus:
I don't really care, yeah-yeah,
yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
I don't really care, yeah-yeah,
yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah (Yeah)
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

F#m C#m
     I could lie to myself and be honest
with somebody else
F#m C#m
     I could try to be something but
                       C#m  A
honestly I don't know what

I could lie to myself and be honest
               F#m C#m
 with somebody else

I could try to be something but honestly
             C#m
I don't know what

Chorus:
I don't really care, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
I don't really care, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
