'Cause the film runs a shallow budget,
        Dmaj7                                F#m7
and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper.

'Cause I regret every thing that I said to ever make her feel

like she was something special, or that she ever really mattered.
               F#m7                                                 (Quick) A
