🎶 The Tortured Poets Department x Now That We Don’t Talk

[A#]You left your typewriter at my apartment
[Em]Straight from the tortured poets department
[A#]I think some things I never say
[Em]Like, "Who uses typewriters anyway?"
[Bb]But you're in self-sabotage mode
[Db]Throwing spikes down on the road
[A#]But I've seen this episode and [Db]still loved the show
[Bb]Who else decodes [Db]you?

[A#]And who's gonna [Db]hold you [Bb]like me?[Em]
[A#]And who's gonna [Db]know you, if [Bb]not me?
I [Em]laughed in your face and said
[A#]"You're not Dylan Thomas, [Db]I'm not Patti Smith
[Bb]This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, [Em]we'rе modern idiots"
And[A#] who's gonna [Db]hold you [Bb]like me?[Em]

[A#]Nobody[Db]
[Bb]No-fucking-body[Em]
[A#]Nobody

[A#]You smokеd, then ate seven bars of chocolate
[Em]We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist
[A#]I scratch your head,[Db] you fall asleep
[Bb]Like a tattooed [Em]golden retriever
[Bb]But you awaken with dread
[Db]Pounding nails in your head
[A#]But I've read this one [Db]where you come undone
[Bb]I chose this [Db]cyclone with you

[A#]And who's gonna [Db]hold you [Bb]like me?[Em]
(Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna hold you?)
[A#]And who's gonna [Db]know you [Bb]like me?
([Em]Who's gonna know you?)
I laughed in your face and said
[A#]"You're not Dylan Thomas, I'm [Db]not Patti Smith
[Bb]This ain't the Chelsea Hotel,[Em] we're modern idiots"
[A#]And who's gonna [Db]hold you [Bb]like me?[Em]
(Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna hold you?)

[A#]No-fucking-body
[Db](Who's gonna hold you? Who's gonna hold you?)
[Bb]Nobody
[Em](Who's gonna hold you? Gonna know you? Gonna troll you?)
[A#]Nobody

[A#]Sometimes, I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me
[Em]But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave
[A#]And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen
[Em]Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be
[Bb]'Cause we're [Db]crazy
[A#]So tell me, who else is gonna [Db]know me?
At [Bb]dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger
And put it on the one [Em]people put wedding rings on
And that's the [A#]closest I've come to [Db]my heart exploding [Db]

[A#]What do you [Db]tell your friends we
[Bb]Shared dinners,[Em] long weekends with
[A#]Truth is I [Db]can't pretend it's
[Bb]Platonic, it's [Em]just ended
So [A#]I call my mom, she said that it [Db]was for the best
Remind[Bb] myself the more [Em]I gave, you’d want me less
I [A#]cannot be your friend
[Db]So I pay the price of what I [Bb]lost (of what I lost)
[Em]And what it cost
Now that we don't [A#]talk
[Db]Now that we don’t talk

[A#]Who’s gonna [Db]hold you [Bb]like me
[Em]Now that we don’t talk
[A#]Who’s gonna [Db]know you [Bb]not me
[Em]Now that we don’t talk
[A#]"You're not Dylan Thomas, [Db]I'm not Patti Smith
[Bb]This ain't the Chelsea Hotel, [Em]we'rе modern idiots"
[A#]And who's gonna[Db] hold you [Bb]not me
[Em]Now that we don’t [A#]talk
[Db]Now that we don’t [Bb]talk
[Em]Now that we don’t [A#]talk

[A#]I don't have to pretend I like acid rock
[Db]Or that I'd like to be on a mega yacht
[Bb]With important men who think important thoughts
[Em]Guess maybe I am better off
Now that we don't talk
[A#]And the only way back to my dignity
[Db]Was to turn into a shrouded mystery
[Bb]Just like I had been when you were chasing me
[Em]Guess this is how it has to be
Now that we don't [A#]talk⠀
