Capo: 3 - Song feels in 7/4 (3/4 + 4/4)

Was [G]any [Csus2]of it true[D]?

[G]Gazing [Csus2]at me st[D]arry-eyed

In your Je[G]hovah's [Csus2]Witness [D]suit

[G]Who the [Csus2]fuck was [D]that guy?

You [Em]tried to [Cmaj7]buy some [Dsus4]pills

[Em]From a [Cmaj7]friend of friends of [Dadd4]mine

[G]They just [Csus2]ghosted [Dsus4]you

Now [Em]you know [Cmaj7]what it [Dadd4]feels like

[Em]And I don't [Cmaj7]even want you back, I just [Dsus4]want to know

[Em]If rusting my [Cmaj7]sparkling summer was the [Dsus4]goal

[Em]And I don't miss [Cmaj7]what we had, but could [Dsus4]someone give

[Em]A message to the [Cmaj7]smallest man who [Dsus4]ever lived?

You [G]hung me [Csus2]on your [D]wall

[G]Stabbed me [Csus2]with your [D]push pins

In [G]public, [Csus2]showed me [D]off

Then [G]sank in [Csus2]stoned ob[D]livion

'Cause [Em]once your [Cmaj7]queen had [Dsus4]come

You [Em]treat her [Cmaj7]like an [Dadd4]also-ran

You [Em]didn't [Cmaj7]measure [Dsus4]up

In [Em]any [Cmaj7]measure [Dadd4]of a man

[Em]And I don't [Cmaj7]even want you back, I just [Dsus4]want to know

[Em]If rusting my [Cmaj7]sparkling summer was the [Dsus4]goal

[Em]And I don't miss [Cmaj7]what we had, but could [Dsus4]someone give

[Em]A message to the [Cmaj7]smallest man who [Dsus4]ever lived? =N.C.=

Were you sent by someone[G] who wanted me dead[Em]?

Did you sleep with a [Dadd4]gun underneath our [C]bed?

Were you writing a [G]book? Were you a sleeper cell [Em]spy?

In fifty years, will [Dadd4]all this be declassi[C]fied?

And you'll confess why you [G]did it

And I'll say, "Good [Em]riddance"

'Cause it wasn't [Dadd4]sexy once it wasn't for[C]bidden

I would've died for your [G]sins

Instead, I just died [Em]inside

And you deserve [Dadd4]prison, but you won't get [C]time

You'll slide into [G]inboxes and slip through the [Em]bars

You crashed my [Dadd4]party and your rental [C]car

You said normal girls were [G]boring

But you were gone by the [Em]morning

You kicked out the [Dsus4]stage lights

But you're still [C]performing

And in plain sight, you [G]hid

But you are what you [Em]did

And I'll forget [Dadd4]you, but I'll never for[C]give

The smallest man who ever [G]lived

Capo: 3

Was [G]any of it true[D]?

[G]Gazing at me st[D]arry-eyed

In your Jeho[G]vah's Witness [D]suit

W[G]ho the fuck was th[D]at guy?

You tr[G]ied to buy some pi[D]lls

From a fri[G]end of friends of mi[D]ne

Th[G]ey just ghosted you[D]

N[G]ow you know what it fe[D]els like

[G]And I don't even want you back, I just w[D]ant to know

[G]If rusting my sparkling summer was the g[D]oal

[G]And I don't miss what we had, but could s[D]omeone give

[G]A message to the smallest man who [D]ever lived?

You h[G]ung me on your w[D]all

Sta[G]bbed me with your p[D]ush pins

[G]In public, showed me [D]off

[G]Then sank in stoned obli[D]vion

'Cause [G]once your queen had [D]come

You [G]treat her like an [D]also-ran

You [G]didn't measure [D]up

In [G]any measure [D]of a man

[G]And I don't even want you back, I just [D]want to know

[G]If rusting my sparkling summer was the [D]goal

[G]And I don't miss what we had, but could [D]someone give

[G]A message to the smallest man who [D]ever lived? =MUTE=

Were you sent by someone[G] who wanted me dead[Em]?

Did you sleep with a [D]gun underneath our [C]bed?

Were you writing a [G]book? Were you a sleeper cell [Em]spy?

In fifty years, will [D]all this be declassifi[C]ed?

And you'll confess why you [G]did it

And I'll say, "Good [Em]riddance"

'Cause it wasn't [D]sexy once it wasn't forbidd[C]en

I would've died for your [G]sins

Instead, I just died [Em]inside

And you deserve [D]prison, but you won't get [C]time

You'll slide into [G]inboxes and slip through the [Em]bars

You crashed my [D]party and your rental [C]car

You said normal girls were [G]boring

But you were gone by the [Em]morning

You kicked out the [D]stage lights

But you're still [C]performing

And in plain sight you [G]hid

But you are what you [Em]did

And I'll forget [D]you, but I'll never [C]forgive

The smallest man who ever [G]lived
