Verse 1 Chords:
              G                C         Em      D        C
Look like a lush. Talk like a tease. The way you like it.
                  G                    C
In front of your house, alone on the street,
        Em      D      C 
you ask me to come in-side.
  C                            Riff 1
Asleep through all our classes,
     C
you hang me out to dry.

Chorus Chords:
              G                   C
If this is a test, I’m losing my shit
                      Em      D         C
Would it kill you to care as much as I did?
              G                    C
If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath
           Em     D       C                 (Intro Chords/riff)
You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.

Verse 2: Use Verse 1 Chords
Heart on a hook thrown out to the sea,
your basement busy.
Sitting in the dark, I turn the radio off for a
phone call you’ll likely miss.
Wake me when it’s over.
The last sound of goodbye.

Chorus Chords: 
If this is a test, I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care as much as I did?
If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath
You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.

:before Bridge play Riff 1 a couple times

Bridge: (repeat 2x)
          Em       D              C                    Em D C
“Let’s imagine the end before we even begin,” you said.

Chorus Chords: (repeat 2x)
If this is a test, I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care as much as I did?
If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath
You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.

Outro:
           Em     D      C                     G  
You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.
           C               Em     D       C
And not at all. You’re a stranger I know well
