Bm             A     D
Don't cry, or do whatever makes you comfortable
Bm          A
I’m tired, too
         D                    Bm              A
There's nothin' left to say, let’s call the truce
       D                         G     A    Bm
'Cause I don't really wanna go to bed like this

Bm A    D
I'm so sorry
Bm    A            D
That we're still stuck in the middle
Bm A    D
I'm so sorry
G              A      Bm

Chorus:
   Bm                   A          D
I don't know what it’s like to be you
   Bm                   A            D

'Cause I’m not really sure
right now of what you want
Are you still mad at me?

'Cause maybe we could go to the movies,
I know that always cheers us up, hey

I'm so sorry
That we're still stuck in the middle

'Cause in the moment I

Chorus:
I don't know what it's like to be you
I don't know what it's like but I'm dying to
If I could put myself in your shoes
Then I'd know what it's like to be you
Tell me what's inside of your head
No matter what you say I won't love you less
And I'd be lying if I said that I do
I don't know what it's like to be you
I don't know what it's like to be you

I get worried
I might lose you a little
Every time we
Every time we argue and get caught up in the moment

Chorus:
I don't know what it's like to be you
I don't know what it's like but I'm dying to
If I could put myself in your shoes
Then I'd know what it's like to be you
So tell me what's inside of your head
No matter what you say I won't love you less
And I'd be lying if I said that I do
I don't know what it's like to be you
I don't know what it's like to be you
I don't know what it's like
