[Verse 1]
B
London 2020
E
Boy and a girl broke up, yeah, it's two a penny
G#m
And I been tryna make a big step forward
F#
Saw you, it was awkward
E
Nothing like I thought would happen happened
B E
I was so in love, and that don't come off in the wash
Kinda hope it does, though
G#m
'Cause you're seeing someone pretty and I hate her guts
F# E
So I'll be telling you she's nice on the bus home
[Chorus]
B
We were bad but we're gonna be good
E
It didn't work like I thought it would
G#m F#
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
E
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
B
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
E
And you swore you would do better this time
G#m F# E
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
B
But at least I'm trying
B
(At least I'm trying)
At least I'm trying
[Verse 2]
B
Three shots, lemon drops
E
One for being lost and alone in your early twenties
G#m
One for being obsessed with someone who puts you secondary
F# E
One for calling guys with guitars in a cemetery
Just me? Okay
B E
If I'm being frank, I want a "sorry" but I'll settle for a handshake
G#m F#
'Cause I'm a baby but I'm gonna be the bigger man, babe
E
So many blank slates I could build a whole fucking house
[Chorus]
B
We were bad but we're gonna be good
E
It didn't work like I thought it would
G#m F#

[Bridge]
B
Not friends
No, we're somewhere in between
E G#m
'Cause you're awful and I miss you and I killed you in my dream last night
F#
Even then you didn't care
E
It's a low when even in my dreams you still don't want me there
B
Got friends, got at least a healthy five
E
Yeah, some people think I'm funny, baby, don't look so surprised (Some people think I'm funny!)
G#m F#
We think that your girlfriend is a bore
E
But we're nice to her in public cause we're grown up and mature
B
Not friends
E
'Cause when I asked you on the train why you hurt me and you couldn't really actually explain
G#m F#
I cried, then I told you it was cool
E
God, you haven't changed at all!
[Chorus]
B
We were bad but we're gonna be good

E
And you swore you would do better this time
G#m F# E
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
G#m F# E
And you might be awful like all of the time, yeah, it's almost inspiring
B
But at least I'm trying
B
At least I'm trying
B
At least I'm trying
