[Verse 1]
[D]I c[Bm]an't say I'm i[A]nto it,
but [G]who am I to moan?
I'm [Bm]the saint, I'm the [D]hypocrite,
at [G]your end of the [D]phone
[Bm]So make clear your [A]interest,
and [G]make sure [D]you're [Bm]alone
[D]'Cause I am dying
[A][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
'Cause you're basic,
[A]and [D]you're [Bm]basically on [D]your own
[Bm][D]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]I'm fine[D], borderline, so b[A]ad i[G]t hurts
[Bm]Think fast[D] with your money,
'cause [G]it can't get much [D]worse[Bm]
I get told that I'm [A]far too
old for [G]number one perks
[Bm]But [D]it's well worth [G]tryi[D]ng
[Bm]I'm good in the neig[A]hborhood,
can [G]play a big [Bm]part
I bought [D]this for a thought, for a kiss,
for a [G]tale of a [D]broken heart
[Bm]I guess we are a thing[A] gonna him, gonna him,[G]
but they think there's [Bm]a start
That leaves [D]me [A]cry[G]ing

[D]'Cause you[A]'re basic,
[D]and you're basic[A]ally on [Bm]your own[D]
[Bm][D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]I can't say I'm [A]into it,
but [G]who am I to moan?
I'm [Bm]the saint, [D]I'm the hypocrite,
at [G]your end of [D]the phone
[Bm]So make clear your [A]interest,
and [G]make sure you're alone
'Cause [Bm]I am [D]dying
[A][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]'Cause you're ba [A]sic,
[D]and you[A]'re bas[Bm]ically on you[D]r own
[Bm][D][Bm][A][G]

[Verse 7]
We are [A]only living our [G]separate lives
Except we do the [A]same things
[G]at the same times
I've kept to [A]the [G]moral
guidelines that you set
And now I'll step towards my [A]leader and dis
[G]guise my lies like I'm king [Bm]set[D][A][G]
Like I'm king [D]set[G]
[D]Like I'm [G]king [Bm]set[D][A][G]
Like I'm king [Bm]set[D]
[A]
