[Am]You must think that I’m [C]stupid
[G]You must think that I’m a [Dm]fool
[Am]You must think that I’m [C]new to this
[G]But I have seen this all [Dm]before


I’m [Am]never gonna let you close to me
[C]Even though you mean the most to me
‘Cause [G]every time I open up, it [Dm]hurts
So I’m [Am]never gonna get too close to you
[C]Even when I mean the most to you
In [G]case you go and leave me in the [Dm]dirt


Every time you [Am]hurt me, the less that I [C]cry
And every time you [G]leave me, the quicker these [Dm]tears dry
And every time you [Am]walk out, the less I love [C]you
Baby, we don’t stand a [G]chance, it’s sad but it’s [Dm]true


I’m way too good at [Am]goodbyes (I’m way too good at [C]goodbyes)
I’m way too good at [G]goodbyes (I’m way too good at [Dm]goodbyes)


[Am]I know you’re thinking I’m [C]heartless
[G]I know you’re thinking I’m [Dm]cold
[Am]I’m just protecting my [C]innocence
[G]I’m just protecting my [Dm]soul


I’m [Am]never gonna let you close to me
[C]Even though you mean the most to me
‘Cause [G]every time I open up, it [Dm]hurts
So I’m [Am]never gonna get too close to you
[C]Even when I mean the most to you
In [G]case you go and leave me in the [Dm]dirt


Every time you [Am]hurt me, the less that I [C]cry
And every time you [G]leave me, the quicker these [Dm]tears dry
And every time you [Am]walk out, the less I love [C]you

I’m way too good at [G]goodbyes (I’m way too good at [Dm]goodbyes)
[Am]No, no, no, no, no (I’m way too good at [C]goodbyes)
