Intro
 x2: C, Cadd9, G



Verse 1
C                     Cadd9   G
 Just when I had everything figured out

C               Cadd9         G
 I let too many words open my small mouth

C           Cadd9     G
 He held me once in a room

C           Cadd9          G                    
 It was unattended, and it tasted

                   C      Cadd9     G
 Of an artist's perfume (Oooh, oooh)

                   C      Cadd9     G
 Of an artist's perfume

C   Cadd9         G
 He graced my naked back

C            Cadd9     G
 My only sheet was a black dress

C             Cadd9       G
 Woke up to a cold, windy city

C        Cadd9              G
 Woke up trying to keep the memory

C                    Cadd9          G
 I was poisoned into lying through my teeth

C          Cadd9                G
 While his words were spoken only truthfully

C        Cadd9        G
 Lost my shoes in the mud,

C        Cadd9        G
 Walked away clean
              C     Cadd9     G
 Trying to be tough (Oooh, oooh)

                    C     Cadd9     G
 I was trying to be tough



Chorus 1
Em                  G                C
 There's nothing in between love and hate

      Cadd9    G
 When it comes down to it

Em                     G                          C
 So you can walk clean away or you can act in the play

            Cadd9      G
 That we so easily put on for them



Verse 2
 x2: C, Cadd9, G

C                       Cadd9      G
 There was residence of hope in my heart
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/courtney_marie_andrews/common_ground_for_a_wallflower_crd.html ]
C           Cadd9             G
 Til' I got dealt the unlucky card

C           Cadd9       G
 Though the buildup was fun

C    Cadd9          G
 The letdown wasn't worth it all

C              Cadd9        G
 So I stole us our midnight drinks

C           Cadd9             G
 And he got dealt our morning fix

C                Cadd9   G
 Then we let the honesty pour

C                    Cadd9      G
 Until it knocked us out into a deep sleep

            C     Cadd9     G
 Into a bad dream (Oooh, oooh)

               C      Cadd9     G
 Is this a bad dream?

C           Cadd9           G
 He said he used to be like me

C          Cadd9                G
 A musical mess, depressed with anxiety

C        Cadd9                 G
 My ears only took half of his advice

C          Cadd9              G
 Happiness comes so easily to him (Oooh, Oooh)

C    Cadd9     G
 For me it's a fight (Oooh, oooh)

C     Cadd9         G
 It's always been a fight



Chorus 2
Em                     G               C
 There's nothing in between lovers and friends

      Cadd9    G
 When it comes down to it

Em                      G                            C
 So you've made up your mind, and I'm not worth your time

              Cadd9          G
 But I can be useful in your life

Em                      G                             C
 I'll push the pedal in deep, you're in the passenger seat

             Cadd9    G
 I'll get us there as fast as I can

Em                         G                            C
 So we can go our separate ways, I mean this was just a stage

        Cadd9       G
 Of the rest of our lives

Em                       G                            C
 I'm growing too weak to fight, at least I gave you a try...



Outro
 Cadd9, G

C       Cadd9     G
 I just spoke too soon

C      Cadd9     G
 Did I speak too soon?
