G A I wanna stop by and play it cool Bm A D It's hard to talk with all these people in your room G A I try to lock eyes and give you clues Bm A D So you can come and follow me out by the pool (Yeah, yeah)Pre-Chorus
G My blood pressure elevates A When I call you out for bein' fake Bm And I don't want to be mean A D But I'm not gonna shut up instead G I know who you really are A And your so-called "friends," quotation marks Bm I don't wanna make a scene A D She cut me off and that's when she saidG A "I don't need a hero, I don't want to be saved" Bm A D But I said, "I'll be here every night and day" G A Oh, I don't need a hero, but if you let me stay Bm A D Oh, I can still be here every night and dayVerse 2:
G A You hide your feelings (Hide your feelings), you medicate (You medicate) Bm A D You're doin' shit that's keepin' both of us awake G A Make me the villain (Make me the villain), I know it helps Bm A D But I'm not gonna run like everybody else (No, no)Pre-Chorus
