D#m                 A#m
Just had a breakthrough
    B                           F#
I'm used to being your number two
D#m                A#m
I play the sidekick
B                               F#
Let you decide, know we're the perfect fit

          D#m                             A#m
Let the flame die out and rip the bandaid off
                               B
So slow that you can feel it b-u-urning, b-u-urning
                D#m                             A#m
Don't want that sad goodbye, let's keep it low key
                            B
'Cause every love story's a g-host story, g-host story

Chorus:
     D#m        F#                C#             B
It's better to walk away than to run with fake friends
   D#m        F#                 C#         B
No use for excuses so bad things come to an end
         D#m           F#              C#           B
I'm not spurned and forgotten 'cause I only go for gold
D#m            F#
Don't need no fake friends
		       G#m F# C#
Might as well shut down
	                G#m F# C#
Might as well shut down
Might as well,

Asked for an update
We both know that it's too little, too late
Don't wanna be a killjoy
But all your words are just like white noise

Let the flame die out and rip the band-aid off
So slow that you can feel it bu-uh-urning, bu-uh-urning
Don't want that sad goodbye, let's keep it low key
'Cause every love story's a gho-ost story, gho-ost story

Chorus

Might as well shut down, duh-duh-duh-duh-down
Might as well shut down

(Bu-uh-urning, bu-uh-urning)
Don't want that sad goodbye, let's keep it low key
'Cause every love story's a gho-ost story, gho-ost story

Chorus:
It's better to walk away than to run with fake friends
No use for excuses so bad things come to an end
I'm not spurned and forgotten 'cause I only go for gold
Don't need no fake friends
Might as well shut down
Might as well shut down, duh-duh-duh-duh-down
Might as well shut down
Might as well shut down, duh-duh-duh-duh-down
Might as well shut down
