Intro
-----

Em7, Cm9, Dsus, Gadd9 [x4]

VERSE 1
-------

Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
I'm learning
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
I'm yearning
Em7 Cm9 B7 Esus
I'm burning all your stuff
Am D
But that's not enough

Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
I'm faking
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
That I'm aching
Em7 Cm9 B7 Esus
Mistaking lust for love

CHORUS
------

Am D
Thanks that was fun
G Cm9 Em7
Don't forget, no regrets
Am D
Except maybe one

VERSE 2
-------

Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
Did I scare you?
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
When I dared you
Em7 Cm9 B7 Esus
I stared you in the eye
Am D
And told you goodbye
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
You mocked me
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
It shocked me
Em7 Cm9 B7 Esus
When you walked me to the bus

CHORUS
------

Am D
Thanks that was fun
G Cm9 Em7
Don't forget, no regrets
Am D
Except maybe one
G Cm9 Em7
Made a deal, not to feel
Am
God that's dumb

BRIDGE
------

G Em7 Dsus Gadd9
Everybody knows the deal fell through
G Em7 Dsus Gadd9
I was hoping I could just blame you
G Em7 Dsus Gadd9
When was it that I became so soft?
G Cadd9
This sentimentality doesn't look good on me
G Cadd9
I thought that you would be begging to be with me
G Cadd9
But I'm the one on my knees, blubbering
B7 Esus
Please let me stay

(Slience)
Deflated
And jaded
Esus
I hate it when you call
Am D
Which isn't at all

VERSE 3
-------

Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
I've spoken
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
Though broken
Em7 Cm9 B7 Esus
Here's a token of my love

CHORUS
------

Am D
Thanks that was fun
G Cm9 Em7
Don't forget, no regrets
Am D
Except maybe one
G Cm9 Em7
Made a deal, not to feel
Am D
God that was dumb
G Cm9 Em7
Don't forget, no regrets
Am D
Except maybe one
G Cm9 Em7
Made a deal not to feel
Am D
Thanks, that was fun

OUTRO
-----

G, Gadd9, Em7, Cm9, Em7, Dsus, D, G

Like most of BNL songs, the outro is a wild one. Let the G ring at the end.
