Friends To Entertain

C
Better off, I tell myself
                        G
I'm in hell, you're covering

This apartment, and I hate it
Am
The sweet nothings at the start
                          D7sus4
The 'it's us', and 'we're art'

The 'great love story in the making'
Dm               Em
When I'm alone I get amnesia
Am                        G
The worst part of me wants you against reason
C
The glory days came and went
                            G
You ask for space, works to blame

I need too much now, baby
Am
You throw a party on a boat
                          D7sus4
I'm out of town, you fuck around

With a yellow bikini
Dm                   Em
Oh, it's my birthday weekend, baby
Am                      G
Not that there's a good time for cheating


[Chorus]
C                      G
How dare you fight for me this time?
C                       D7sus4
How dare you promise anything this time?
Dm                        Em
When I was there, in your arms, in July
            Am             G
And you're swearing, "this time,"
                      C
Did you know it was a lie?

[Verse 2]
C
Driving home from your friends'
                     G
The first time I met them

You tell me they said, I'm not beautiful enough for you
Am
But you defended my face

Was I supposed to celebrate
D7sus4
How you handled my disgrace?
Dm                       Em
And discreetly, Band-Aid where I'm bleeding
Am                          G
This kind of love leaves me no room for needing


[Chorus]
C                      Em
How dare you fight for me this time?
C                        D7sus4
How dare you promise anything this time?
Dm                       Em
But I was there, in your arms, in July
           Am              G
And you're swearing, "this time,"
                      C
Did you know it was a lie?


[Bridge]
         Am
Oh, it's true
Em              D7sus4
Baby, I want to believe you
         Am
Oh, it's true
          Em                     D7sus4
There's a suitcase of things I'm holding on to
Dm      Em              Am
Your new lover plays my guitar
Dm          Em
With a note that says
N.C.                                C
"For ever and a day you have my heart."
Am             G
This was not a case of indifference
Am             G
I'm in a maze, chasing narrative
Am                       G
I'm losing weight 'cause I can't eat
Am                  G
One day I'll wear a yellow bikini


[Chorus]
C                      G
How dare you fight for me this time?
C                       D7sus4
How dare you promise anything this time?
Dm                            Em
When I was there, in your arms, in July
           Am
And you're swearing, "this time,"
                      C
Did you know it was a lie?


[Verse 3]

In the kitchen, we're alone

Breakfast I made, fresh on the stove
G
And your eyes go grey
Am
The hand I held turned away
                                  D7sus4
Showed me the door in the home we made

And I hear my pulse race
Dm                G
I made it halfway down our street
Am                           G
The one we loved 'cause it's named like me
Dm                       Em
Then in a text, you say "pack your things
Am                  G
I've got friends to entertain,"
