 E                           A
Haven't heard from you in a couple of months
         E                     A
But I'm out right now, and I'm all fucked up
            E                       A
And you're callin' my phone, you're all alone
    E                A
And I'm sensin' some undertone
    E                   A
And I'm right here with all my friends
            E               A
But you're sendin' me your new address
        E                  A
And I know we're done, I know we're through
      E                   A
But, God, when I look at you

                E D
My brain goes, "Ah"
              C#m                C
Can't hear my thoughts (I cannot hear my thoughts)
                      E                    D
Like blah-blah-blah-blah (Blah-blah-blah-blah-
blah-blah)
Should probably
C#m
I should probably, probably not
C
I should probably, probably not

E                 A         E         A
Seein' you tonight, It's a bad idea, right?
E                 A         E         A
Seein' you tonight, It's a bad idea, right?
E                 A         E         A
Seein' you tonight, It's a bad idea, right?
E                 A
Seein' you tonight
E
Fuck it, it's fine

Chorus:
 E                A
Yes, I know that he's my ex
     E                A
But can't two people reconnect?
  E            A
I only see him as a friend
      E            A
(The biggest lie I ever said)
     E                A
Oh, yes, I know that he's my ex
     E                A
But can't two people reconnect?
  E            A
I only see him as a friend
          E                 A
(I just tripped and fell into his bed)

Now I'm gettin' in the car, wreckin' all my plans
I know I should stop, but I can't
And I told my friends I was asleep
But I never said where or in whose sheets
And I pull up to your place on the second floor
And you're standing, smiling at the door
And I'm sure I've seen much hotter men
But I really can't remember when

My brain goes, "Ah"
Can't hear my thoughts (I cannot hear my thoughts)
Like blah-blah-blah
(Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
Should probably not
I should probably, probably not
I should probably, probably not

Seeing you tonight
It's a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
It's a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
It's a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
Fuck it, it's fine

Chorus

Oh, yes, I know that he's my ex
Can't two people reconnect?
The biggest lie I ever said
I just tripped and fell into his bed
My brain goes, "Ah"
Can't hear my thoughts
The biggest lie I ever said
My brain goes, "Ah"
Can't hear my thoughts
I just tripped and fell into his bed

E A E A
Thoughts
E A E A
Blah
E A E A
Thoughts
E A E A
Blah
