              G                    Em
It's easy to want me while we are falling
             C
All of the scariest parts are blocked out
           G                  Em
Lost in a mansion, up in the canyon
                C
Light from the sunset is blinding our doubts

   G                       Em                 C
Remember the way that you feel when it's only us
     D#
Only us
    G                    Em                     C Cm
It felt like forever but now we're just fucking up

Chorus:
                G                          C Em7 Am7
Darling, don't hate me when you're not in love Oh
                 G                         C Em7 Am7
Darling, don't break me when it's all too much
                   G
Yeah We were just laughing, sitting in traffic
                 C              Em7      Am7
Said we'd never let bad things happen to us
                      G
So please don't ever hate me when we're not in
 C Em7 Am7
love

I'll take an airplane back to the old days
Back when it felt like the sky was still real
And we were addicted to what was written in all
of the stars
Now we can't even feel

Remember the way that you feel when
it's only us, oh, oh
When it felt like forever but now
we're just fucking up oh, ooh, ooh

Chorus:
Darling, don't hate me when we're not in love,
oh, oh
Darling, don't break me when it's all too much,
yeah
We were just laughin', sittin' in traffic
Said, we'd never let bad things happen to us
So don't ever hate me when we're not in love, yeah

            G
All of the good things turnin' to bad things
              C                       Cm
How will you feel when you're lookin' back?
And all of the memories will turn to resentment
And where will I be when you forget the past
All of the good things turnin' to bad things
Tell me what happens when it all ends?
Oh, I gotta tell you, what I'm most afraid of
Is losin' you, it's to lose you again

Chorus:
Darling, don't hate me when we're not in love,
oh, oh
Darling, don't break me when it's all too much,
oh, oh
We were just laughin', sittin' in traffic
Said, we'd never let bad things happen to us
So please, don't ever hate me when we're not in
love, oh, oh
In love
