[Verse 1]
A
I know my mom, she'd make you your favorite dish, she'd be obsessed with you quick
D
Like on night one, she'd welcome you in our home
F#m
Like you were one of our own, give you that East Coast love
E
That's why I keep her at a bird's-eye view
D
So she doesn't get attached to you
[Verse 2]
A
And I know my dad, he'd say he's tempted to grill you
D
If you hurt me, he'd kill you, but he's not like that
F#m
You'd probably bond over Springsteen, and how much you both love me and vintage Cadillacs
E
That's why I keep him at a bird's-eye view
D
So hе doesn't get attached to you
[Chorus]
D
But comе to think of it
F#m
I think I saw the end
E
You didn't get a chance to choose
D F#m
There I Go again
E
Makin' up a bad excuse
Bm D F#m E
So I don't get attached to you, to you
D F#m E
Attached to you, to you
[Verse 3]
A
I know my friends, they'd talk conspiracy theories
D
You'd know more of them weirdly, you would pass their tests
F#m
They'd see how you keep me safe, and show up for me in ways that they could never imagine
E
That's why I keep 'em at a bird's-eye view
D
So they don't get attached to you
[Chorus]
N.C.
But come to think of it
D F#m
I think I saw the end
E
You didn't get a chance to choose
D F#m
There I Go again
E
Makin' up a bad excuse
Bm D F#m E
So I don't get attached to you, to you
D F#m E
Attached to you, to you
[Outro]
D F#m E
I'd rather walk on glass than give someone the opportunity to hurt me
D
I'd run like hell
F#m E D
And sabotage a good thing 'cause I'm so fuckin' afraid it could be perfect
F#m E
I'd rather walk on glass than give someone the opportunity to hurt me
D
I'd run like hell
F#m E
And sabotage a good thing 'cause I'm so fuckin' afraid it could be perfect
N.C.
I know myself
