Starring Role Chords & Tabs
Verse 1:
C# A F#m A G#
You're hard to hug
Tough to talk to
And I never fall asleep
When you're in my bed
All you give me is a heartbeat
I've turned into a statue
And it makes me feel depressed
'Cause the only time you open up
Is when we get undressed
Pre-Chorus:
C# A F#m A G#
You don't love me
Big fucking deal
I'll never tell you how I feel
You don't love me
Not a big deal
I'll never tell you how I feel
Chorus:
C#m E
It almost feels like a joke
F#m A

F#m A

Fill: C# A F#m A G#
Verse 2:
C# A F#m A G#
Sometimes I ignore you
So I feel in control
'Cause really, I adore you
And iI can't leave you alone
Fed up with the fantasies
They cover what is wrong
Come on, baby
Let's just get drunk
Forget we don't get on
Pre-Chorus:
C# A F#m A G#
