Hey... Hey.. How are you? You cute- DTF?

Let's just cut this bullshit and meet for a drink
Gm6        D7/F#           Fm11 C9/E
Loved that photo of you in Paris,
Gm6           D7/F#    Fm11                      C9/E  
what was your favorite restaurant while you were there?
Gm6      D7/F#          Fm11     C9/E           
I am the most miserable man that you can imagine

(I don't normally contact people on this, but I find you very intriguing. Something about your eyes)
          Gm6      D7/F#              
I have no friends (Dick pic, dick pic)
          Fm11  
I have no family
C9/E   Gm6                     D7/F#        Fm11      C9/E
Nobody loves me. (Pineapple on pizza is good, fuck you!)
         Cm/Eb   Dm/D     D7/C Eb/Bb  D7/A Cm/G D7/F# Eb D7   
I'm just another awkward, introverted, isolated waste of space
Cm6/9
Such a failure
D7(b9)/F#
(Are you a zero percent APR loan?)
N.C.
(Because I'm having trouble understanding your terms)
N.C.
(And you aren't showing any interest)
N.C.
(Yeah, that's kinda good)
Gm6               D7/F# 
So many men in my pocket
  Fm11                     C9/E  
I roll through my infinite scroll
            Gm6
Never grows old
       D7/F#     
Yes no no yes yes
     Fm11                  C9/E
Left right left left right left
          Gm6  
It's like candy
          D7/F# 
It's like catnip
          Fm11 
It's like crack
  C9/E         
I dose, I doze,
  Eb      
I daydream
  Bb/D     
A stairwell
  Eb     Bb/D
A rooftop
  D7     
A sunbeam

[Chorus]
        Eb    Bb/D    Cm9/Eb
I could be so good at love
        Eb    Bb/D    Gm  
I could be so good at love

[Verse 1]
Cm        
Last night
             G7/B      
I was at the drug store
       Eb                            G7/D    
Having trouble with the self-service checkout
      Ab               Eb  
And a woman touched my back
G7b9   G7b9/B
Tried to help me
             Ab            Eb          
It felt like sparklers and strawberries
G7b9/D                          Cm
Do other people get to feel this all the time?
    Ab Abdim7
Whoa

[Chorus]
  Ab                               Eb    
I feel my body stretch between two cliffs
Bb                 
One side is fantasy
Cm               
The other reality
  Ab                                 Ebmaj9
I feel my fingers start to lose their grip
              Bb     Abmaj13    Bdim7 Ddim7
And can't hold on (I can't hold on!)

[Verse 2]
Ebm        Bb7/D  
Mama was a gambler
Db6             Ab7/C
Mama played the slots
Cb           Ebm/Bb   Adim7     Cdim7
Watching the reels go round and round
Ebm             Bb7/D 
When will I get lucky?
            Db6    Ab7/C
When will I get my shot?
B                     G7            Cm 
When will those three cherries line up?
                G7             Cm      
When will those three cherries line up?
G7                    Cm            G7 
When will those three cherries line up?
                Cm             G7      
When will those three cherries line up?
Cm                    G7            Cm 
When will those three cherries line up?
                G7             Cm      
When will those three cherries line up?
G7                                  Cm 
When will those three cherries line up?
    Gm6    D7/F# Fm11     C9/E
The arousal of uncertainty
     Gm6         D7/F#            Fm11            C9/E
The irresistible pull of variable schedule rewards
                   Gm6                   D7/F#                 
Wading through the fuckboy, thot seeker, incel catfish creepers
Fm11                    C9/E            Gm6    
And stumbling sophomore poetry magazine rejects
         D7/F#        Fm11   Fm11/Eb D
I get so lonely after swiping
N.C.
(And of course when I actually do have sex with someone, it's usually like...)
N.C.
(Wow, you watch a lot of porn)
N.C.
So then porn...

[Verse 3]
           Bbm9
There is a drug
Dbm9      Gm9 
Inside my head
  Abm9                 Bbm9
I just have to turn it on
     Dbm9                    Gm9 
Fall into the screen and I'm gone
    Abm9                       Bbm9
And no one talks about this at all
           Dbm9 
Oh, people laugh
                   Gm9     
Oh, the hilarious scenarios
                   Abm9    
The pizza man, the pool guy
   Bbm9         
We laugh it away
    Dbm9               Gm9    
But that's what's so insidious
     Abm9    Bbm9  Dbm9                       Gm9  
This monster hides subliminally corroding our lives
                                  Abm9                  
And I know it's complicated! I've read all the articles!
             Bbm9               Dbm9     
I'm not some prude religious conservative
          Gm9             Abm9          
I support sex workers and sex positivity
Gm9 N.C.
Let me take just a moment to signal my virtue
N.C.                                         Gm9
By telling you all my pornography preferences
                            Fm9       
You know I actually used to like porn?
            Em9                                         
I loved the ones with a story, the female directed stuff
Gm9                    Fm9    
Lesbian, step-sibling, massage
        Em9                                        
Perfect European villas, good lighting and lingerie
Gm9                         Fm9 
Oh I love it when they make love
                     Em9                                           
And you're like, oh, that- that- that- that is the sex that I want!
Gm9                   
It can be so beautiful
     Fm9                 Em9 
When two performers lock eyes
Em9                                  
And you can see the joy and communion
    Gm9                     Fm9
The ancient divine union of sex
                            Em9       
We all know that's what sex is, right?
             Em9
It's fucking God
    Gm9                Fm9               
But porn is solitaire, scentless and safe
Em9                                    
We have sucked the sacrament out of sex
Bbm9                           
Sex should be a rite of passage
Dbm9                                        Gm9              
But our kids are watching fisting, pissing, hitting, pounding
                                 Abm9
And I don't wanna shame anyone's kink
                            Bbm9  
(don't wanna shame no one's kink!)
              Bbm9                                   
But there's a level of psychological complexity there
Dbm9                      
(psychological complexity)
Gm9                 Abm9                 
...Much less 11, or 9! It's catastrophic!
Bbm9                                          Dbm9               
There is an erectile dysfunction epidemic (Erectile dysfunction!)
            Gm9         
That nobody talks about!
                                   Abm9                       
You know at least drug addicts and alcoholics are kind of cool
Abm9                                                       
Musicians and artists- their redemption stories are honored
Bbm9                              Dbm9                      
Someone has an AA chip, it's like fuck yes, good on you bro!
    Gm9              
But porn? No way man!
       Abm9                
No one fucking honors that!
        Bbm9                                Dbm9             
And the porn dudes are always the ones that become such shits
    Gm9                         Abm9             
The petty whiplash cruelty of a man-child scorned
N.C.
(Yeah I wouldn't have fucked you anyway)
N.C.
(You're about a five, ugly and fat with shit hair)
N.C.
(A repressed and unfeminine lump, unfuckable cunt)
N.C.
(You need to be gagged)
N.C.
You need to be gagged!
N.C.
But then it's like...
N.C.
If I say something, am I pushing him somewhere darker? Radicalizing him?
N.C.
Like... is this guy the next fucking manifesto mass murderer?
N.C.
And so I take on that weight too
N.C.
There's no fucking equivalency here!
N.C.
There're these guys online, and they say that the world is an all-encompassing black pill
N.C.
That you have to constantly shove into the back corner of your mind
N.C.
There're these guys online and they- they say that we don't fuck
N.C.
'Cause we're low status, introvert, ugly, awkward, outcasts
N.C.
And the Chads and Stacys will never let us in
N.C.
The Chads and Stacys just laugh at us
N.C.
There're these guys online and they say it's us against them! Make your mark!
N.C.
And I feel the pull of that

[Chorus]
  Ab                              Eb     
I feel my body stretch between two cliffs
Bb                 
One side is fantasy
Cm               
The other reality
  Ab                                 Eb   
I feel my fingers start to lose their grip
                Bb                G7 
And I can't hold on (I can't hold on)
        Ab            Eb                                                
I could be so good at love (I feel my body stretched between two cliffs)
        Bb            Cm                                           
I could be so good at love (one side is fantasy, the other reality)
        Ab            Eb                                               
I could be so good at love (I feel my fingers start to lose their grip)
        Bb            G7/Bb                     Ddim7
I could be so good at love (And I can't hold on)

[Outro]
Ab                       Eb                    
I ask my mom, why do you keep going back there?
Bb                           G7            Cm  
Every day working the slots, she's lost so much
Ab                             Eb                     
And then I keep doing things I know aren't good for me
    Bb                                 
But where am I supposed to meet people?
Bdim7        
Church? Fuck!
