[Verse 1]
Am C
You must think that I'm stupid
G Dm
You must think that I'm a fool
Am C
You must think that I'm new to this
G Dm
But I have seen this all before
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I'm never gonna let you close to me
C
Even though you mean the most to me
G Dm
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
Am
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
C
Even when I mean the most to you
G Dm
In case you go and leave me in the dirt
[Refrain]
Am C
Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
G Dm
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
Am C
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
G Dm
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
G Dm
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I know you're thinking I'm heartless
G Dm
I know you're thinking I'm cold

I'm just protecting my innocence

I'm just protecting my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I'm never gonna let you close to me
C
Even though you mean the most to me
G Dm
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you
G Dm
In case you go and leave me in the dirt
[Refrain]
Am C
Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
G Dm
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
Am C
And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
[Chorus]
Am C
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
G Dm
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
Am C
No way that you'll see me cry (No way that you'll see me cry)
G Dm
I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
Am C
No, no, no, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
G Dm
No, no, no, no, no, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I hope that they're true
[Pre-Chorus]

I know you're right for me

But I'm waiting for everything in your world

To align with my world

I think of you while I sleep
C Am
I dream of what we could be if we grow
G
Together unfold
[Pre-Chorus]

I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please

I'm broken, alone, and afraid

When I try to explain, the words run away
C
That's why I am stood here today
[Chorus]
